Command Analysis

Barys Nur-Sultan

Current form
Barys remained the main outsider of both the Eastern Conference and the entire championship. The team scored only 35 points all season and very rarely produced good stretches. At the moment, she is completely on a series of three defeats, although before that she alternated successful fights with failures. That's why she can't be happy with herself in any way.
Recall that after a hard-fought victory over Admiral (5-4 B), Astana lost to Amur (2:5) and could not cope with Siberia (2:3), and were defeated by Ak Bars with a score of 0 on the home arena.:8. At the same time, in the confrontation with Kazan, Galym Mambetaliev's team failed absolutely all three segments and spent most of the time in their own zone, since they made only 19 shots at the opponent's goal.
Major defeats have generally become common for Barys lately, as he has begun to neglect defensive actions in order to score an extra goal. That is why the team remains the worst in the league in terms of playing in the minority, because now it has only 75.8% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.

Salavat Yulaev is in the second position of the Eastern Conference and is trying his best to stay there. The team pulled itself together very timely and began to demonstrate the results that the fans expect from it. It should be noted that she often stays on a long series of victories and makes do with rare, single defeats.
Prior to that, Ufa lost to Dynamo Moscow (1:3) on their ice, after which they dealt with Minsk (4:3 B), and within the framework of the current away series of fights they are showing their best side. So, they managed to deal with the Motorist (4:1), and they also proved their superiority over Siberia with a score of 3:1. In the last two matches, Viktor Kozlov's squad played extremely reliably in defense, thanks to which in both cases they managed only one missed puck.

1.85Tip and bets
Salavat looks like a clear favorite of this confrontation. Ufa cannot afford to lose points in this match, because in this case they will not get into the playoffs from the second place. Previous meetings between the clubs ended exclusively in favor of the greens, and the last match ended in defeat. Kozlov's team is also looking great as part of the current away series of matches, so we suggest betting on his success with a head start.
Prediction - Salavat wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
In duels with Barys, Ufa players, as a rule, demonstrate excellent performance and open the opponent's defense at least four times. Astana have been conceding a lot lately and usually allowed their opponents to score at least four times. For sure, the hosts will make a lot of mistakes in their zone and in the upcoming meeting, so it makes sense to bet on an individual Ufa total.
We take Salavat's individual total of more than 3.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six goals scored in this matchup. Salavat shows great performance in matches with outsiders and scores a lot. Plus, three of the previous five meetings with Barys had been more than five goals. Most likely, the leopards will try to give the audience a real show this time.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks with a kf of 2.25
