Salavat Yulaev vs. Avtomobilist: KHL Match Prediction

Current form

At the start of the regular championship, Salavat Yulaev faced very serious competitors, but this did not prevent the team from getting four points. In the first match, the Ufa team played a "green derby" with Ak Bars and, thanks to competent counterattacks, managed to confidently win with a score of 5:3. The team's implementation of dangerous moments in attack was impressive, 20% of shots were effective. One cannot help but praise the magnificent play of goalkeeper Samonov, who reflected 38 shots out of 41.

Then the "greens" stayed at home, where they hosted "Traktor", and this time they were unable to fully realize their attacking potential. The competitor was much more reliable in defense and did not make such gross mistakes as the Kazan team. Despite this, thanks to a restrained game, "Salavat" again achieved the desired result, although this time they had to win in a shootout (2:1). Once again, Samonov stood in goal, who ultimately became one of the best players of the match.
