Command Analysis

Salavat Yulaev Ufa

Current form
After a successful completion of the away series and a dry victory over Severstal, the Ufa team returned to their home arena, where they continued to please fans with successful results. In the first match, the team met with Vityaz and left no chance for the obvious underdog, not allowing them to realize their attack at all and crushing the Bogatyrs with a score of 4:0. Goalkeeper Samonov played confidently, reflecting all the shots, thereby making the second shutout in a row. Then Salavat Yulaev fought with a much more serious opponent in the person of Spartak and again confidently won with a difference of four goals (5:1). This time, the star of the match was forward Livo, who scored twice and also gave an assist.
The "greens" were able to consolidate their success in a duel with another very powerful club of the league, defeating "Traktor" with a score of 4:1. This time the defensive line was not so reliable, but all the mistakes were corrected by goalkeeper Samonov, who this time reflected 39 shots out of 40, which did not allow the "bears" to cling to a comeback. Also, one cannot fail to note the efforts of forward Rempala, who scored two effective actions. Thanks to such successful performances, the club has already come closer to the leadership in the Eastern Conference table, the gap from which has been reduced to two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Salavat Yulaev has no serious problems with its roster. Only forward Gleb Kuzmin and defender Nikita Zorkin are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting

This season, Ufa players have been distinguished by their very effective attacking play, which is why they have achieved success.
- The Greens converted 23% of their majority attempts
One cannot fail to note the excellent implementation of the numerical superiority on the court.

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Sibir has completed its away series, which in the end turned out to be far from successful. In three matches, the team managed to win only one victory over the obvious outsider Sochi (4:2). In the remaining matches, they had to fight with much more powerful opponents, suffering defeats from Moscow Dynamo (2:4) and Metallurg (1:3). As you can see, the Novosibirsk team had a problem with converting moments in attack, which has been observed throughout the regular championship and does not allow the club to consistently earn points.
Returning to their home arena, the "snowflakes" once again met one of the main outsiders of the league, beating Barys dry (2:0). Goalkeeper Kostin showed his best side, reflecting all the shots, thus making a "shutout". Then Epanchintsev charges hosted Minsk Dynamo and were able to impose a serious fight on the "bisons", but throughout the match they were inferior to their opponent, and in the end they were unable to even the score, suffering another defeat with a score of 4:5. This time Kostin was far from being as reliable, and he even had to be replaced after the fourth missed puck. Due to the large number of lost points, the club has already dropped to tenth place in the Eastern Conference table, having only 27 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Sibir has no problems with its roster. Only defender Ilya Morozov is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sibir averages 2.56 goals per game
As we have already noted, Novosibirsk suffers from low attack performance.
- On average, the club takes 24 shots per game
The low performance of Novosibirsk players is primarily due to their inactive play in general.
