Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev finished their away series with an impressive result - five wins in a row. However, after returning home, the team faced difficulties. In another match against Ak Bars at its home arena, the Greens failed to win, despite a huge number of shots on the Kazan goal. Then the Greens went to Magnitogorsk, where they met one of their strongest opponents - Metallurg. Despite their efforts and a tough fight, the Ufa team suffered their second defeat in a row with a score of 2:4. This time, goalkeeper Samonov was unable to show himself at one hundred percent, reflecting only 88% of the shots. In addition, the team showed insufficient activity in attack, which did not allow them to turn the tide of the match and make a comeback.
The club managed to rehabilitate itself before the fans already at home, where it finally played reliably and won an easy victory over Amur (3:0). Goalkeeper Vyazovoy showed an excellent game, reflecting 32 shots and recording a shutout. Salavat continues to confidently hold on to the second line of the Eastern Conference, and is not lagging behind the leader in points, and one more victory will allow the team to rise to the first position.
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
The Ufa team has demonstrated reliable defensive play throughout the regular championship.
- The Greens average 7.3 penalty minutes per game.
In addition, the team is highly disciplined and rarely allows violations of the rules.
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur has not been able to please its fans for a long time. The team demonstrated dismal results at home and could not achieve the desired result for four matches in a row. Almost all of these games ended in regular time, and only in the match with Lokomotiv were the Khabarovsk team able to show character, losing in overtime with a score of 3:4. The Tigers played especially poorly in matches with Minsk Dynamo (2:5), and also suffered two defeats from Admiral with a score of 4:6 and 1:4, respectively.
However, on the road, Amur demonstrated that it is capable of more. In the match with Sibir, the team won a crushing 5:1 victory, demonstrating a confident game and scoring five goals. It is especially worth mentioning striker Brosseau, who scored twice and gave an assist. Goalkeeper Jarusik also played at a high level, reflecting 96% of the shots. However, this victory did not help the club to recover, and in the next match it was faced with another defeat, and a dry one from Salavat Yulaev (0:3). Once again, Jarusik tried his best, but there were too many shots. It is worth noting that the team still remains in the last line of the Eastern Conference table, and the chances of getting into the playoffs are becoming less and less.
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.
The Khabarovsk team still has serious problems with offensive performance.
- Amur converted only 13% of its power play attempts
Due to the team lack of active participation in the attack, it cannot even use its numerical advantage.

1.77Tip and bets
Salavat Yulaev is again the clear favorite in the upcoming match. Indeed, the team has already managed to prove its superiority over Amur, taking advantage of its defensive lapses. The Greens look much stronger than their competitor and, due to the home advantage, have an excellent chance to consolidate their success and win their second victory in a row. It is also worth considering the fact that Ufa is only one win away from becoming the leader in the West, which will give them additional motivation.
Our prediction is Salavat Yulaev victory at 1.57
Bet on total
It is again not worth expecting a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. In face-to-face meetings, the teams show a very reliable game in defense and rarely realize their full attacking potential. So there is an excellent opportunity to bet on the total under.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 1.74
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Salavat Yulaev will once again try to gain an advantage over Amur in the first period, which the team has every chance of doing due to its significant superiority over its competitor and the home advantage.
Prediction - Salavat Yulaev wins in the first period for 1.99
