Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev has completed a five-game home series that turned out to be extremely successful. The team defeated all of its competitors, and problems arose only in the match with Ak Bars, where they had to snatch victory in overtime (3:2). What is especially noteworthy is that in all other matches, the Ufa team won by more than one goal. However, in the very first away match, they had to suffer a setback and interrupt their streak of successful performances. The Greens fought Ak Bars again, only this time at its arena, and were unable to gain the upper hand, although they made a huge number of shots at the Kazan team’s goal.
Then Ufa went to visit another very powerful opponent in the person of Metallurg and due to failures in defense suffered a second defeat in a row with a score of 2:4. This time, goalkeeper Samonov did not show himself to be reliable enough, reflecting only 88% of the shots. It is also worth noting that Salavat was not so active in attack, which did not allow it to make a comeback. Despite the lost points, the club continues to remain in second place in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the leader is only two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Salavat Yulaev has no problems with its roster. Only Kuzmin remains in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Salavat concedes an average of 2.45 goals per match
Throughout the regular championship, Ufa players have been distinguished by their very reliable defensive play.
- The Greens average 7.3 penalty minutes per game.
The team is also famous for its discipline and rarely breaks the rules.
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur played at home for a long time, where it showed terrible results. The team could not earn points for four matches, almost all of which ended in regulation time. The Khabarovsk team was able to give a worthy rebuff only to Lokomotiv, suffering an offensive defeat in overtime (3:4). It seems that the failure in the match with the current leader of the Western Conference had a strong impact on the morale of the Tigers, since they showed themselves from the worst side in the rest of their home matches. The team was unable to impose a fight on Minsk Dynamo (2:5) and Admiral (4:6 and 1:4).
It seemed that Amur would continue to play in the same spirit on the road, but this did not happen. Away from Sibir, the team unexpectedly crushed its opponent with a score of 5:1. Indeed, Kostyuchenko charges showed a very confident game in attack, and in particular, it is worth praising forward Brosseau, who scored twice and also gave an assist. One cannot help but praise goalkeeper Jarusik, who reflected 96% of the shots in the end. Still, due to the huge number of lost points, the club continues to remain in the last line of the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Amur has only one player left in the infirmary - Bryntsev.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Tigers are averaging just two goals per game.
Khabarovsk residents continue to experience huge problems with offensive efficiency.
- Amur converted only 13% of its power play attempts
Due to a very modest attacking play, the team cannot even realize its numerical superiority.

Firstly, the team is superior to its opponent in all respects, which it has been proving throughout the regular championship.

It is hard to believe that Amur will be able to play as confidently as it did in the match with Sibir, so we suggest making a confident bet in favor of the home team.
