“Salavat Yulaev” - “Vityaz”: forecast for the KHL match
Salavat Yulaev will return to their home arena on November 28, where they will try to earn two points in a match with the obvious underdog Vityaz. The Podolsk team is still not in the best shape and has not been able to achieve success for two matches in a row. Will Ufa be able to take advantage of this? 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 completed a three-game away series, which ultimately turned out to be successful. The team played Lada in the first game and was one step away from defeat, but miraculously managed to tie the score just 40 seconds before the final whistle, and then snatched victory in a shootout (2:1). However, it is worth noting that the Ufa team should have confidently defeated Nizhnekamsk, as they made as many as 55 shots at the opponent goal, but their performance was far from the best. It seemed that with such an active attack, the Greens would leave no chance for Neftekhimik, but this time they had to suffer a defeat with a score of 2:4. Kozlov charges played too much in the opponent zone and allowed them to make successful counterattacks, and goalkeeper Vyazovogo was unable to back up the team.
They managed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and win a confident victory away to Severstal, where Salavat finally stopped the pressure of the competitor, beating the Cherepovets team dry (2:0). This time, Samonov played in goal, reflecting all the shots, thereby getting the 17th shutout in his career and the first this season. Due to the away points earned, the team was able to maintain its position in the Eastern Conference table and is currently in third place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Salavat Yulaev has no problems with its roster. Only forward Gleb Kuzmin is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Salavat Yulaev concedes 2.6 goals per game
Overall, Ufa defense can be called reliable, as it rarely allows opponents to realize their potential in attack.
- The Greens converted 21% of their majority attempts
The team also excels at playing on the power play and often capitalizes on its numerical superiority.
Vityaz
Russian FederationCurrent form
Vityaz has been struggling to earn points since the start of the season, and this continues to this day. The Podolsk team is playing an away series, which they started very successfully, defeating Severstal with a score of 7:1. This result shocked many hockey fans, since the "bogatyrs" were not particularly effective in attack, and the "steelworkers" were head and shoulders above their competitor in all respects. It is difficult to single out any of the players in this meeting, since many of them scored a large number of points. Then the team went to visit Lokomotiv, where, thanks to a reliable game in defense, they were able to impose a worthy fight, losing only in overtime (1:2). In particular, goalkeeper Doroshko should be praised, having reflected 48 shots out of 50.
Vityaz failed to show the same confident defensive play away from Spartak, but that didn't stop them from creating serious problems for the Muscovites. By the start of the third period, Desyatkov charges were already leading 3-0 and everything was heading towards a confident victory for the obvious underdog, but in the end, the red-and-whites made a comeback, and then the bogatyrs suffered another very disappointing defeat in extra time (4-5). The points they scored helped the club get closer to the playoff zone, which is only four points away.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the infirmary of Vityaz everything remains unchanged. The team continues to play without forward Vladislav Tsitsyura and defender Grigoriy Vaschenko.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vityaz scores an average of 2.56 goals per match
This season, Podolsk residents have been experiencing serious problems both with creating and converting attacking opportunities.
- On average, the "bogatyrs" take 25 shots per match
The club poor attacking performance is primarily due to its very low attacking activity.

It is hard to believe that Vityaz will be able to show a decent game against the obvious favorites in the third match in a row. Salavat Yulaev returned to the home arena, where they have almost never lost this season. It is also worth considering that at the moment the Greens are in optimal shape and even on the road they have shown themselves from the best side. It is also worth paying attention to face-to-face meetings, in which the Ufa team consistently beats the Bogatyrs. Considering all the factors, we suggest not to take risks, but to make a confident bet in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is a victory for Salavat Yulaev at 1.77
Bet on total
We also believe that in the upcoming match we should expect a large number of goals scored, given the fact that Vityaz has recently improved its attacking game and has begun to show its effectiveness.
Forecast - total over 4.5 goals for 1.67
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Salavat is significantly superior to its opponent in all respects, and will also be playing at home, where it should create serious pressure on the “bogatyrs” from the very start, for which Vityaz may not be ready.
