“Salavat Yulaev” - “Barys”: forecast for the KHL match
On November 15, Salavat Yulaev will once again play at home as part of the KHL regular championship. This time, the team will face one of the league main outsiders, Barys. Will the Kazakhs be able to give a worthy rebuff to a powerful opponent? Our experts have prepared a forecast in which they will answer this question and also help you decide on bets
Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev has been in excellent shape for a long time and has been steadily earning points, which is why it is moving up the Eastern Conference table. The team is currently in fourth place, tied with its closest competitor in third place. However, they are still quite far from the lead, with eight points separating the club from it. The main distinguishing feature of the Ufa team is their very effective attack, scoring three goals per game on average. However, their defense is not particularly reliable, which is why they had problems at the beginning of the season.
The Greens played a three-game away series, which can be considered successful. The team snatched victories from Sibir and Torpedo in a shootout (3:2) and overtime (3:2), respectively. Kozlov team was also very close to another victory, but suffered an unfortunate defeat from Dynamo Minsk (2:3 OT). Returning to their home arena, Salavat Yulaev once again showed itself in all its glory, confidently defeating Lada with a score of 3:1. Goalkeeper Samonov once again showed an excellent game, reflecting 29 shots out of 30. Indeed, the Ufa team plays much better at home, where they have suffered only two defeats throughout the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Salavat Yulaev has no problems with its roster. Only forward Gleb Kuzmin is in the infirmary, having played only five matches this season.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Ufa players score three goals per match
As we have already noted, Salavat Yulaev can boast of a very productive attacking game and in this regard is one of the best clubs in the league.
- On average, the Greens take 30 shots per match
Such efficiency was achieved due to active play in attack. The team consistently creates many dangerous moments in the opponent zone.
Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys managed to break another losing streak while playing away to Neftekhimik. In the first match with the Wolves, the Kazakhs suffered a 1:4 defeat, and it was hard to believe that they would be able to take revenge, but they managed to hold back the pressure of the Nizhnekamsk team with great difficulty and snatch victory in overtime (2:1). Goalkeeper Boyarkin made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 40 shots out of 41. But the team still cannot cope with the low efficiency, which is why even home walls did not help them show their best side. At home, the Barsy could not cope with Ak Bars (1:2 SO), and also lost to Avtomobilist (1:3). For six games in a row, the club has not been able to score more than one puck, which is a terrible result even for the KHL.
Due to the low efficiency, the team has been showing terrible results throughout the season and rarely clings to victories. At the moment, Barys is on the penultimate line in the Eastern Conference table and is unlikely to be able to rise higher with such a game. It is worth noting that there are no prerequisites for the Kazakhs to come to their senses and start creating more dangerous moments in attack. So far, everything is moving towards the fact that this season for the club will also be one of the most disastrous, like the last one.
Disqualifications and injuries
Barys has problems with its roster. Defender Viktor Antimin is in the infirmary, as well as forwards C.J. Smith and Damir Zhafyarov.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Barys scores 1.24 goals per match
This season, Kazakhstanis have shown the worst performance in the entire league.
- The team converted just 7.3% of its power play attempts.
Due to their terrible attacking play, the Bars do not gain much of an advantage after an opponent is sent off.
Trends
Goal in each period bet - yes
In four out of five head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.70Bet First Goal: Barys
In three out of four head-to-head matches, Barys opened the scoring
2.80Tip and bets
"Barys" will once again have to sit back in defense and repel a huge number of attacks from their opponent. "Salavat Yulaev" is distinguished by very good attack performance, which means that the Kazakhs are unlikely to be able to stop the onslaught of the clear favorite. One cannot ignore the fact that the Ufa team will play at home, where, with the support of fans, they have even more chances for success, which in total will allow them to defeat the "Bars" with a minimum difference of more than two goals, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our prediction is a victory for Salavat Yulaev with a handicap of (-1.5) goals for 1.77
Bet on total
As we have already noted, Barys mainly relies on the defensive line and practically does not create pressure on its opponent, which has a terrible effect on the overall performance of matches involving Kazakhstanis. The upcoming match will most likely also be ineffective, so as a second bet we choose total under.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.85
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Salavat Yulaev will feel a serious advantage over their opponent, and due to the additional advantage of home walls, they have every chance of winning in the first period, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Salavat Yulaev wins in the first period for 1.90
