Our experts tried to highlight the most relevant bets on the upcoming match, which we suggest you familiarize yourself with in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev was tested for strength already at the start of the regular championship, as the team faced only the strongest clubs of the league. In the first match, the Ufa team confidently dealt with Ak Bars (5:3), and then with great difficulty consolidated their success in the match with Traktor, snatching victory in a shootout (2:1). In the match with the Chelyabinsk team, it is worth paying attention to the magnificent play of goalkeeper Samonov, who reflected 38 shots out of 39. Continuing to play at home, the Greens were also able to easily deal with Avtomobilist (5:3). This time, second-line forward Sharov showed an outstanding game, scoring twice and also giving an assist.
Salavat's first serious problems arose already during the away game, where they had to suffer a rout (1:6) in the return match with Avtomobilist. It cannot be said that the "greens'" defense failed, since the opponent made only 20 shots on target, it's just that luck was completely on the side of the Yekaterinburg team, who realized almost all of their chances.
Injuries and disqualifications
Salavat Yulaev approached the new season with its optimal roster, and only young forward Danil Alalykin, who was not declared for a single pre-season match, is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Salavat Yulaev concedes an average of 3.25 goals per game
At the start of the season, Salavat Yulaev showed excellent play in attack, but there are certain questions about defense, which was noticeable in almost all the opening matches.
- Salavat Yulaev receives an average of 10 minutes of penalty time per match
Salavat Yulaev plays aggressive attacking hockey, which often leads to mistakes and violations of the rules.
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard also approached the new season in excellent shape, which they demonstrated in the opening matches. The team confidently beat the obvious outsiders in the form of Sibir (2:1) and Neftekhimik (4:2) in regular time. After that, the Hawks fought with an opponent of their level and also easily dealt with Ak Bars (4:1). The main reason for such successful results was the club's strong defensive line, which allowed only 61 shots on their goal in three matches.
It seemed that Omsk would continue to perform in the same spirit and would be able to secure the first position in the table, since the team once again met far from the most serious opponents on the way. However, Avangard was unable to cope with Amur (2:3 SO), and then lost to Novosibirsk in the return match with a score of 1:4, which was an even bigger surprise. It seems that the team concentrated too much on its defense, which led to the loss of points. Due to two failures, the Hawks had to drop to third place in the table, but there are still excellent chances to regain the lead.
Disqualifications and injuries
"Avangard", unfortunately for all fans of the club, approached the new season with serious problems in the roster. The leaders of the attacking line, Vladimir Tkachev and Reed Boucher, have not yet recovered from injuries. Goalkeeper Mikhail Berdin, who signed a contract with the Omsk club this season, is also in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Avangard has a 33% power play percentage
It is extremely dangerous to be penalized against Avangard, as the Omsk team demonstrates one of the best implementations of an extra player on the court.
- On average, Omsk players score 2.6 goals per match
The Hawks play quite carefully, which has a negative impact on their overall performance.

1.66Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, Salavat Yulaev will again play at home, where they have not lost a single match so far this season. Indeed, the Greens look invincible at home, mainly due to their excellent attacking performance. It is also worth considering that the Ufa team has a great desire to rehabilitate themselves for the crushing defeat by Avtomobilist, which means they will play at the limit of their capabilities. Avangard, in turn, cannot cope even with the league outsiders, and there is no point in believing in their success.
Our prediction is a victory for Salavat Yulaev at 1.92

Salavat mainly achieves success due to its attacking line, when the team continues to have serious problems in defense, which the club is not yet able to cope with. It is for this reason that we suggest choosing total over as the second bet.

Bet on the outcome of the first period
