Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev is on the decline, which is why it cannot in any way break its losing streak, which has already reached three matches in a row. Initially, it seemed that Ufa players were experiencing difficulties only in away matches and would be able to succeed at home without any problems, but this did not happen, which once again confirmed the club's weak form. Indeed, after a hard-fought victory over Lokomotiv in overtime (3:2), the team went on the road, where they met with a clear outsider in the person of Lada and had to succeed. The Greens failed to score a single goal in three periods, suffering a dry loss (0-3), which came as a big surprise not only to fans, but also to all hockey fans. Indeed, Kozlov's players looked no better than their competitor, but they allowed him to create many dangerous moments in their zone.
Then the Ufa team went to visit another obvious outsider, Vityaz, and this time they played even worse defensively. Salavat allowed Podolsk to make as many as 39 shots at their own goal, and they managed to avoid a total defeat mainly thanks to the efforts of goalkeeper Vyazovoy. There were also problems with the implementation of moments in the attack, which led to a defeat with a score of 1.:3. Returning to the home arena, the Greens faced off against CSKA and this time conceded four goals, suffering their third defeat in a row (2:4). This time, the goal was defended by Samonov, who did not play very well and reflected only 87% of the shots. Despite the lost points, the club got a ticket to the playoffs ahead of schedule.

Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada seemed to be recovering from a prolonged slump, as it was able to break its long losing streak, which reached ten matches. The team played away to Barys, where they finally showed their attacking potential to the fullest, taking advantage of the mistakes of the Kazakhstanis, and as a result won a landslide victory with a score of 4:2. In particular, it is worth praising striker Mikhailov, who scored a double. Returning to the home arena, the team met with Salavat Yulaev and consolidated their success, with a "dry" victory over the clear favorite (3:0). Goalkeeper Trushkov made a huge contribution to this result, deflecting all 30 shots and making the third shutout this season and his career, respectively.
As expected, the Tolyatti residents' rise did not last long. After an unexpected victory over Ufa, the club went to visit the current leader of the Eastern Conference in the person of Traktor and this time suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. The defensive line was unable to cope with the opponent's powerful pressure and allowed him to create a huge number of dangerous moments in his zone. The team has not yet been able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans for such a weak performance. In the next match, Lada faced Ak Bars and again failed to score more than one goal, losing (1:2). Indeed, the team has been performing very mediocre this season and is currently in tenth place in the Eastern Conference table, with virtually no chance left for the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Groshev, Chernikov, Koltygin and 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.
- Tolyatti players earn 7.71 minutes of penalty time on average per match
The "owls" are moving away a lot, but they neutralize 80.6% of the opponents' attempts to realize too much.

2.20Tip and bets
Even despite the obvious decline, Salavat Yulaev is the clear favorite in the upcoming match. Indeed, the bookmakers absolutely do not believe in the success of the guests and give Lada a huge coefficient to win, which can be used. In a recent face-to-face duel, the Tolyatti team looked no worse than their competitor and even won, which means they are quite capable of imposing a worthy struggle on the Greens again. We believe that the guests, at least, will not lose with a difference of more than one goal.
Our forecast is that Lada will win with a handicap of (+1.5) pucks in 1.90
Bet on the total
Also, you definitely shouldn't expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. Both teams are experiencing serious problems with both creating and implementing attacking chances, which is one of the main reasons for the clubs' defeats. So we choose the total less as the second bet.
The forecast is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.72
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Nevertheless, we must not forget the fact that Salavat Yulaev is seriously superior to Lada in terms of composition and has the advantage of home walls. It is due to this that Ufa players will play the first number and can earn an advantage after the end of the starting segment.
Forecast - Salavat Yulaev's victory in the first period in 1.99
