Salavat Yulaev vs. SKA: KHL Match Prediction

Current form

This season, Salavat Yulaev has been performing with varying success, and at the moment the team is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, with 22 points. However, it is worth considering that the team has played only 18 matches, which is much less than its closest competitors, which means it has every chance of moving up if it continues to play at the same level. One of the main problems of the club, which prevents it from fighting for leadership, remains a weak defense, on average, the Ufa team misses three goals per match, which is too much for the KHL. The attacking line tries to compensate for this shortcoming, but it does not always succeed.

At the moment, the "greens" are holding a home series, which has already reached four games in a row. At first, things were going very well, in the first match, Kozlov charges snatched victory from "Sochi" in a shootout (3:2), and then won against a much more serious competitor in the person of "Torpedo" with a score of 5:4. The first-line forwards Rempal and Todd showed an excellent game, each scored three points. Salavat was able to consolidate its success in the match with "Admiral" (2:1). This time, goalkeeper Vyazovoy distinguished himself, reflecting 33 shots. It seemed that the Ufa team would easily beat the Vladivostok team in the return match, but this did not happen. The opponent showed an even more active game in attack, for which the "greens" defense was not ready and conceded four goals, and in the end they lost (2:4).

Disqualifications and injuries

It is worth noting that Salavat Yulaev currently has no problems with its roster. The team continues to play in full combat strength, and of the injured players, only forward Gleb Kuzmin remains, who has not distinguished himself in scoring in his career.
