Lada vs Salavat Yulaev: forecast for the KHL match
Lada is returning home after a disappointing series of away games. The Tolyatti team was able to complete the guest tour with a victory in Astana, but the chances of the hosts getting into the playoffs are still very small. On February 19, Salavat Yulaev will arrive in the Samara region. Viktor Kozlov's team continues to fight for leadership in the East and does not intend to lose points in a duel against an outsider. What will this confrontation be like? This is in the forecast for the match
Command Analysis
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada remains in tenth place in the conference and in fact has already lost its real chances of making the playoffs. Tolyatti players have earned 44 points in 54 games and will now just play out the remaining matches of the season. To date, they have two games left and are already 14 points behind Admiral in eighth position. Pavel Zubov's team lost ten matches in a row and only at the very end of the last away series broke the string of failures. The team from the Samara region lost twice in Novosibirsk (1:4 and 1:4), and before returning home they confidently beat Barys (4:2). The "Owls" were losing before the third period of the match in Astana, but they pulled themselves together and turned the meeting around.
Samaritans are playing poorly offensively at this stage of the season. They scored more than twice per game in only two of the previous eight matches. Dmitry Kugryshev remains the top scorer and remains one of the hundred most productive hockey players in the league so far. The Lada forward scored 27 goals (11+16) and looks better than the other attackers of the hosts.
Alexander Trushkov remains Lada's main goalkeeper, who cannot fully replace Vladislav Podyapolsky. This season, the 28-year-old goalkeeper has blocked only 91.01% of shots and made two shutouts in matches against Barys, but missed twice in the last game in Astana. Konstantin Volkov recently joined the team from Kunlun, but so far he cannot claim the role of the first number of the hosts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Evgeny Groshev, Egor Chernikov, Mikhail Fisenko, Pavel Koltygin and Vladislav Chervonenko will not be able to help their team in the game against Salavat Yulaev.
Interesting betting trends
- Lada makes 27 shots on goal per game
The hosts don't throw much, trying to miss as little as possible, so they have a fairly modest performance on offense.
- Togliatti players earn 7.74 minutes of penalty time on average per match
The "owls" are moving away a lot, but they neutralize 79.8% of the opponents' attempts to implement the excess.
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev is leaving after an extremely successful home series of games. The team from the Republic of Bashkortostan is in second place in the conference and is fighting for the second place in the East with Avtomobilist, which has the same number of points. Now Yulaev has 75 scoring points after 55 games, while Traktor, which is in first place, scored five points more, but also played three more matches. In the first half of February, Viktor Kozlov's team showed strong results, except for the unpleasant defeat in Mytishchi by Kunlun (2:4). Before the trip to Tolyatti, Grigory Panin's squad beat Ak Bars (3:0) and Lokomotiv (3:2, OT) in Ufa.
The club from the Republic of Bashkortostan played strongly in attack and scored 18 goals in the last five matches, although it failed in the duel against the Dragons. In general, the guests score 3.20 goals per game during the season and are stable in attack. Joshua Leivo is confidently leading the list of the league's top scorers. The Canadian scored 64 points (41+23) in the goal+pass system.
Daniil Vyazovoy is increasingly appearing on the ice from the first minutes. The young goalkeeper helped his teammates beat Lokomotiv and dried up Ak Bars. This season, he has blocked 93.87% of shots on his possessions and made five shutouts in 21 games. Alexander Samonov hardly agrees with this scenario, but recently an experienced goalkeeper has not been very good at the last turn.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gleb Kuzmin and Grigory Panin will not come with the team to Tolyatti.
Interesting betting trends
- Salavat Yulaev concedes an average of 2.38 goals per match.
The team is known for its very reliable defensive play throughout the regular season.
- The Greens have implemented 20.4% of the majority's attempts
It is also worth praising the excellent implementation of numerical superiority.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three of the last four games with Lada, more than one goal was scored in the first period.
1.72Bet period 3: Lada will score
In three out of five matches, Lada scored in the third period.
1.85Tip and bets
Lada has lost its real chances of reaching the playoffs and is actually just finishing the season. Pavel Zubov's team could have clung to a place in the final part of the tournament, but after Vladislav Podyapolsky's departure, the hosts show very weak results and rarely win. Salavat continues to fight for leadership in the conference. The Greens lost only one game in February and do not intend to lose points in a duel against one of the most competitive teams in the East. We think that Grigory Panin's squad will beat the "filins" without any problems. We offer a bet on the Victoria of the guests during the main time.
Forecast - victory of "Salavat Yulaev" in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Lada remains one of the least-watched teams in the East and in the league as a whole. On average, Mikhail Fisenko's team differs only 2.24 times per game, but at home it scores only two goals per match. Salavat Yulaev has a strong goaltending team and rarely makes mistakes in defense. We think that the guests' defense will not fail in Togliatti and will not concede more than two goals.
We bet on the individual total of "Lada" less than two washers with a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on the total total
Lada can be confidently called one of the most closed teams in the league. The hosts prefer to act with a constant eye on defense and concede as little as possible. The rivals have faced each other twice this season and have not been able to score more than four goals between them in any of the matches. We believe that the meeting on Wednesday will be grassroots.
We take a total of less than five goals for 1.90
