Command Analysis
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
"Sibir" is in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and has managed to earn 21 points. The team was in the top three not so long ago, but it was greatly hampered by a long series of defeats. The "Snowmen" could not find their game and suffered five defeats in a row, while in all those matches they were losing within 60 minutes and, accordingly, did not earn points.
Fortunately, after unsuccessful matches against SKA (3:6) and Traktor (0:5), Novosibirsk players finally pulled themselves together and dealt with Magnitogorsk Metallurg on the road with a score of 4:3. In that confrontation, they showed character and pulled out what seemed to be a “dead” match, because at the beginning of the third period they were losing by two goals, but they played a killer game at the end of that twenty minutes and completely dealt with their opponent in regular time.
The previous match was very cool for Vladislav Kara, who scored a double. It is noteworthy that then Sibir made only 19 shots at the opponent goal, but the implementation that day was excellent. It is also worth mentioning that the club still remains the best in the league in the majority and has a 34% implementation of the extra man. Nevertheless, the game often does not go in favor of Vadim Epanchintsev team when it misses more than two goals, because it itself demonstrates mediocre efficiency.
Disqualifications and injuries
Martynov will not take part in the upcoming fight due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Sibir takes no more than 25 shots per match
Novosibirsk players show low shooting activity and even in the last game they only made 19 shots on target
- Novosibirsk has 23:27 in goals scored and conceded in the third period
"Sibir" plays mediocrely in the final twenty minutes and significantly slows down in movement in this segment
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev is in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and has 24 points. The team can improve its position in the tournament table at any time, and it has all the necessary resources for this. Moreover, it has recently demonstrated decent results and celebrated success in four previous matches out of five.
It should be noted that they had a series of three victories, after which they stumbled in the match with Admiral (2:4), but they made their fans happy in the confrontation with St. Petersburg SKA, which they beat with a score of 4:2, being the underdog. Viktor Kozlov team prepared well for that match, played it with maximum discipline and played systematic hockey.
However, it should be noted that the Greens are not as successful on the road as they are at home, and have suffered five losses in nine games. As a rule, the team performs best in the second twenty minutes, during which it creates a huge number of dangerous moments and makes excellent use of free space, which is why it has a 23:13 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. However, at the same time, the first and third game periods are usually unsuccessful for it. By the way, Josh Livo and Nathan Todd have shown incredible results in the team this season, having already earned 22 and 20 points in the goal + pass system, respectively.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kuzmin will not play in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Salavat makes 32 shots on target per match
The Ufa players play well in attack and try to spend as much time as possible in the opponent zone
- Salavat currently has 22.1% of the majority sales
The Ufa players make good use of their numerical advantage and, on average, take advantage of every fourth or fifth attempt
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
2.15Bet 2nd period: victory of the Ufa team
In three out of five matches, the visitors achieved victory in the second period
2.60Tip and bets
Salavat looked pretty good in the last matches and managed to deal with SKA. Sibir could not boast of such results and just came off a losing streak, although in the last match with Metallurg they were close to defeat. The Greens ended most of the previous face-to-face meetings with Novosibirsk in their favor. Considering that this match will be the first in the away series for Ufa, they will be charged up for success and full of energy. We think that they are deservedly considered the favorites in this confrontation, so we suggest betting on their victory with a handicap.
Forecast - Salavat victory with a handicap (0) for 1.70
Bet on individual total
In most of the previous matches, Sibir showed mediocre results and often could not open the opponents' defense more than twice. Incidentally, in none of the five previous matches against Salavat did the hosts score three goals. Ufa does not often concede three times even on the road. Novosibirsk will probably pay more attention to their defense, so we do not expect to see many goals from them.
We take the individual total of "Siberia" under 2.5 goals for 1.65
Total Bet
Previous matches between the teams were tense and usually did not feature a large number of goals scored. Sibir, in general, shows low efficiency and even on its home ice plays many matches with a minimum number of goals. Salavat is also unlikely to play on the road and risk potential two points.
We bet on total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.15
