Command Analysis
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form Traktor is currently in first place in the Eastern Conference and has already pulled away from its closest rivals. The team continues to show excellent results and takes each match seriously. Not long ago, of course, it stumbled after a long winning streak and suffered a defeat from Avangard (1:3), but in the next match with Ak Bars, it celebrated a 3:1 victory, again getting away with just one missed puck. It should be emphasized that at the moment, the club is one of the fewest in the league and ranks second in the number of goals conceded. It is impossible not to note the actions of goalkeeper Zachary Fucale, who even in the last meeting with Kazan parried 33 shots and was in high spirits. It should be noted that Benoit Groulx team itself continues to score little, but this is often enough for them to earn points. It is also worth mentioning that the Bears continue to show excellent play in the minority and are among the top five clubs in this aspect, having exactly 87% of the extra man neutralization. If they had also pressed in the 5x4 format, they would have certainly improved their efficiency. It is worth emphasizing that the upcoming meeting will be the last one for the club in the home series, and after that the Chelyabinsk team will go on a difficult away trip, so it is very desirable for them to win the upcoming meeting in order to leave their home walls in an excellent mood.

Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, Salavat Yulaev has shown results that are completely different from what fans expect from it. The team is currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and has earned only 16 points in total. The Ufa team has long been without long winning streaks and, as a rule, alternates successful matches with defeats at best. But so far, their away series of matches has been going very well for them.
Let us recall that before this, the “greens” managed to deal with “Spartak” (5:2) on the road, lost to the capital’s “Dynamo” (2:4) and in a tense fight beat the main outsider “Barys” with a score of 3:2. Let us note that the team often ends up with at least three pucks in the net, so it is not at all surprising that even in a confrontation with an obvious underdog, it had difficulties. At the same time, oddly enough, Salavat has no problems with its roster, because they have been playing with this roster since the very beginning of the season. The Ufa team simply cannot find their game and gain stability. Perhaps they will be able to do this upon returning to their home court, because the upcoming meeting will be their final one in the current away series.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kuzmin and Tsulygin will not take part in the fight due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Salavat has 23.4% of the majority implementation
Ufa players play well in the 5x4 format and, on average, take advantage of every fourth attempt.
- Ufa residents receive an average of 10 minutes of penalty time
The "Greens" have poor discipline and often break the rules out of the blue.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In the three previous matches involving Ufa players, the first period was productive
2.00Tip and bets
We think that Traktor will get two points in the upcoming match. Chelyabinsk has been showing excellent results recently and suffered their only defeat in the match with Avangard. Ufa continues to perform very inconsistently. The Greens have had serious problems in matches with lower-level opponents. The Bears are currently the leader of the Eastern Conference and are obliged to confirm their status. Moreover, this match will be their last at home before a long series of away matches.
Prediction - Traktor win for 2.05
Bet on individual total
Salavat plays mediocre defense and expects open hockey. As a rule, at least three pucks end up in their net. The Chelyabinsk team finds its chances time after time and uses them well. Plus, in the last two out of three games against Ufa, the hosts scored at least three times. Most likely, Benoit Groux team will please fans with goals again on their home ice.
We bet on Traktor individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.72
Total Bet
Previous meetings involving the Chelyabinsk team have been fruitless. The Bears are currently one of the most reliable clubs in terms of defense and rarely concede. It will also be very difficult for Salavat to break down their opponent defense, especially considering that in the last three games out of five, Kozlov team has not scored more than twice.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks for 1.72
