Dinamo Minsk are kings on their home ice, of course; they have always played excellently, especially when the games are important — they always win. And I think Tractor Chelyabinsk are waiting to go home so they can withstand it there. They were humiliated too badly in the previous game, and I think... Show more

I will never tire of repeating that the Norwegian club has won me over with its play. A strong attack, good defense; the game is reminiscent of Serie A: long passes and a quick transition into attack. Today, Lazio should win at home by at least two goals to advance to extra time and a penalty shooto... Show more

Lokomotiv, although they played their first home game, so to speak, poorly, I think Loko underestimated their opponent in that game. They played the second one more brightly: the attack created many chances, there were far more shots, plus 4 goals scored and only 1 goal conceded. In a word, they hav... Show more

Dynamo Moscow have always had difficulties against Bars Kazan, but there have always been many goals scored, and in the previous game Dynamo Moscow conceded twice while getting into the game; then, after concentrating in the 2nd and 3rd periods, they had twice as many shots, but converted few of the... Show more

Tampa Bay Lightning have already lost 2 matches in a row, just like the Buffalo Sabres, but at the same time the hosts occupy 4th place and will participate in the playoffs in any case, while nothing can help the Buffalo Sabres anymore. A low-scoring team, they had a terrible season; in recent match... Show more

Carolina have now recovered from an unsuccessful streak consisting of losses and currently occupy 3rd place. Toronto are 3 points ahead, but their last games have been going better than their opponent’s. I think this match will be rich in goals: the home side have an excellent offense, while the vis... Show more

Zenit are obviously not having the best of times right now, sitting in 3rd place and trailing Krasnodar by 5 points, but I think the lads will pull themselves together today and put on the beautiful, powerful football they are capable of! And they will start doing it in the 1st half. Krasnodar will ... Show more

So, in the first game Lokomotiv Yaroslavl simply was not prepared for the opponent; this time, Avangard Omsk will not manage to defeat the regular-season champions. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl will come into this game prepared, with the focus likely to be on attack, so we should see plenty of goals from Lok... Show more

The match will be difficult for Atalanta. First of all, there is discord within the team because of Gasperini; it all started with their Champions League elimination when they lost both games to Club Brugge, and since then the team has not been itself. They are currently holding on to 3rd place, but... Show more

I think the Forest side will win this matchup. The team has 5 wins in its last 6 games, plays confidently in defense, and does an excellent job of finishing its chances.... Show more

Tractor Chelyabinsk really tried throughout the entire regular season, both in away matches and, accordingly, in home matches, and the team deservedly finished 1st in the Eastern Conference, scoring 223 goals and conceding around 160 — an excellent achievement that speaks of strong attacking executi... Show more

Wolfsburg started the season not badly, but then the team’s performance sharply declined. The team is currently 12th and can be said to be just seeing out the season: it will neither be relegated nor qualify for European competitions, i.e. it has no motivation. Although RB Leipzig failed in the Cham... Show more

The Ufa team finished the regular season excellently in the Eastern Conference, taking 2nd place, 3 points behind Traktor. Salavat Ufa are playing excellently in attack, with a high conversion rate of dangerous chances; this was especially evident in their recent home games, where they simply crushe... Show more

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl performed simply brilliantly in the regular season! I think that with the railwaymen's defense, one can already say who will win the Gagarin Cup🏆 Yes, the attack is also excellent—they are skating past one opponent after another. In this match, I think Loko will beat Avangard Om... Show more

The Norwegian club has surprised many in the Europa League with its play, defeating its opponents; Olympiacos were left with no chance of winning at all. Bodo/Glimt have an excellent attack that converts chances very well. I think the Norwegians will beat the Italians, but I’m taking insurance in ca... Show more

First of all, two teams that love to surprise in such cups are playing, especially since the Catalans and the Hornets have already met in the league phase, 3:2 and 3:1 in favor of the Blaugrana. Barcelona come into this match in excellent shape: there is only one defensive player in the infirmary, a... Show more

Bayern Munich currently have squad problems: many players are injured and will not appear on the field today, even the much-loved Neuer! As for Inter, they also of course have players in the infirmary, but it is not as critical as at Bayern Munich, and the Italians’ attack and defense have been perf... Show more
