Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev played away games, which brought the team almost no success. The first match with Ak Bars ended in a 1:5 defeat. The main reason for the defeat was a weak play in the minority, due to which the team conceded four goals. The attacking line also did not show its best side: in three periods, only 24 shots were made on the opponent goal. Goalkeeper Samonov, who was replaced at the beginning of the third period, also did not show his best. After that, the team went to Nizhnekamsk, where they met with Neftekhimik. The Ufa team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, realizing its attacking potential and defeating the wolves with a score of 7:4. The most productive player was forward Livo, who scored twice and gave three assists. It seemed that the greens would also confidently cope with Avangard, but the Omsk team was in good shape, and this created serious problems. The opponent exerted powerful pressure throughout the match, and only thanks to the efforts of goalkeeper Samonov was it possible to avoid a rout, losing to the Hawks with a minimal advantage of one goal (2:3).
However, having returned to the home arena, the club completely rehabilitated itself before the fans, leaving no chance for Neftekhimik and defeating it dry (5:0). This time, Livo also became the first star of the match, having scored a hat-trick and given an assist. Many expected that Salavat would continue to please the fans with results after such a stunning success, but in the match with Avtomobilist, the implementation of shots was practically zero, which led to a defeat with a score of 1:4. The Ufa team looked no worse than their competitor, but the puck stubbornly refused to fly into the target, which led to a loss of points. Despite this failure, the team remains in third place in the Eastern Conference table, having 60 points.

Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard is in great shape and has not lost in six games in a row. The team started their winning streak away from home, where they faced Neftekhimik in the first game and confidently won with a score of 5:1. Already at the beginning of the game, the Omsk team had a significant advantage of three goals, which they only increased as the game progressed. In particular, it is worth praising forward Yakubov, who scored twice. The team consolidated their success by winning a confident victory over a strong opponent, Ak Bars, with a score of 3:1. Despite dangerous moments near their goal, thanks to the brilliant play of goalkeeper Serebryakov, the team avoided problems. Over the course of three periods, he blocked 29 out of 30 shots. In the final match of the away series, the Omsk team met Severstal, which realized its attacking potential and put the team in a difficult position. Five minutes before the end of regulation time, Avangard capitalized on the power play and scored another goal, sending the game into overtime, where they snatched victory (6:5). It is difficult to single out any of the players, since many of them showed themselves to be effective.
Returning to their home arena, the team faced a strong opponent, Salavat Yulaev, and again won in regulation time with a score of 3:2. This time, the defensive line distinguished itself, not allowing the Ufa team to demonstrate its attacking abilities. The team also won its fifth victory in a row, easily beating Kunlun with a score of 3:2 at home. Many predicted that the Hawks would lose in the next match with the clear favorite CSKA, but Bushe charges once again showed their class, defeating the Muscovites dry (4:0). Serebryakov blocked all 30 shots, thereby getting a shutout. Indeed, at the moment, the club is in its best form since the very beginning of the season, thanks to which it achieves such results. Head coach Bushe, who recently returned to the team, made a huge contribution to the significant rise of the team.

Salavat Yulaev is clearly not in the best shape at the moment, as evidenced by the club mediocre results. Ufa has begun to experience difficulties even at home, so betting on them is quite dangerous. Avangard, on the contrary, is playing in its best shape, which allows it to crush even the obvious favorites. Finally, Omsk has begun to show the very result that fans have been waiting for since the beginning of the season, and all thanks to the return of head coach Bushe. We believe that due to morale and excellent play, the guests will be able to achieve success.
Our prediction is Avangard victory in the match for 2.25
