Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev has gained excellent form and continues to show excellent results. The team successfully completed the away series, having won a dry victory over Severstal (2:0). Goalkeeper Samonov showed his best side, having reflected all 34 shots, thereby having made the 18th "dry" in his career. Returning to the home arena, the "greens" fought with the clear underdog in the person of Vityaz and due to their significant superiority over the opponent, left them no chance, defeating them with a score of 4:0. This time the defensive line as a whole tried, the "heroes" in the end made only 22 shots, and Samonov coped with all of them.
It was expected that in the next match with Spartak, Ufa could show weakness, since the Moscow club remains one of the strongest in the league. But this time, Kozlov charges completely crushed their competitor with a score of 5:1. Goalkeeper Samonov distinguished himself again, reflecting 35 shots out of 36. It is also worth praising forward Livo, who scored twice and gave an assist. Due to such successful performances, the club has already risen to second place in the Eastern Conference table and is closer to the leader, the gap from which is currently only four points, and Salavat still has two games in reserve.

In the infirmary of Salavat Yulaev, everything remains unchanged. The club continues to play without forward Gleb Kuzmin. All other players remain in the ranks.

- The Greens average 32 shots per game
The club high performance is explained by its very active attacking play.
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor has been in excellent shape for a long time and has earned a huge number of points, thanks to which it has risen to the first line in the Eastern Conference table. However, at the moment the team is in decline and continues to alternate victories with defeats. The Bears are playing an away series, which began with a success in a duel with Minsk Dynamo. Gro charges were supposed to beat the Minsk team in regular time, but they missed the puck just a minute before the final whistle, which allowed the opponent to tie the score and transfer the game to overtime. In extra time, the Chelyabinsk team still achieved their goal and won with a final score of 4:3.
The team was unable to repeat their success away from Lokomotiv. This time, there were problems both with creating and converting attacking chances, which led to a defeat (2:4). Goalkeeper Fukale also did not play his best, reflecting only 81% of the shots. The team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans in the match with Avtomobilist, taking advantage of its poor form and winning confidently (5:3). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. For now, Traktor continues to remain in first place in the table, but if it does not start earning points consistently, it will soon drop lower.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that the "bears" have no problems with the roster. All players are in full combat readiness and will take part in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Traktor scores 3.3 goals per match

1.55Tip and bets
Despite Salavat Yulaev excellent form, bookmakers do not single it out as a favorite and give approximately equal odds for the teams to win, which is quite strange. Traktor is clearly not in its best shape and has often had difficulties lately, losing even to obvious outsiders. The Greens, on the contrary, crush any competitors in their path, and it is also worth noting their very confident play at home, where the team has practically not lost this season. The Ufa team is clearly aiming for leadership in the Eastern Conference table, and a victory in the upcoming match will bring them as close as possible to the desired result. We believe that the home team will give it their all and will be able to defeat the Bears.
Our prediction is Salavat Yulaev victory in the match for 1.87
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we should definitely expect a large number of goals scored. Both teams show a very active and effective game in attack. So there is an excellent opportunity to choose the total over as a second bet.

Salavat Yulaev, due to its excellent form, has every chance to create serious problems for Traktor already in the starting segment. It will be difficult for the Bears to fully demonstrate their potential on the road, which will allow the Ufa team to earn an advantage.
