Command Analysis

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
It seemed that Siberia approached the playoffs in optimal shape, as they steadily earned points and were able to impose a decent fight on Ak Bars in one of the final matches of the regular season. But in fact, the club turned out to be completely unprepared for the fierce competition in the Gagarin Cup. In the first match with Salavat Yulaev, the Novosibirsk team failed to score a single goal, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 0:7. Both goalkeepers Krasotkin and Kostin showed a terrible game, reflecting 80% of shots between them. The entire attacking line also played poorly, creating almost no retaliatory pressure on the opponent.
In the return meeting, the situation did not change in any way. Although the snowflakes earned a significant advantage in the opening segment, but due to constant defensive failures, they not only could not hold it, but also suffered another defeat with a difference of six goals (2:8). This time, in three periods, Siberia scored only 18 shots on the Greens' goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Butuzov, Gogolev and Gordeev remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends

Salavat Yulaev Ufa

Current form
Salavat Yulaev showed excellent results throughout the regular season, consistently earning points, which allowed the team to finish the regular season in second place in the Eastern Conference table, with only three points behind the leader. What is especially noteworthy is that the team approached the playoffs in excellent shape, having a winning streak of three matches in a row, in which they easily coped with both rivals of their level and obvious outsiders. As expected, Ufa was able to make a successful start in the Gagarin Cup with a confident victory over Siberia (7-0). The defensive line did not allow the opponent to create many dangerous moments in his zone, and the attack worked very smoothly, which together led to this result.
In the return meeting, Novosibirsk residents also proved unable to withstand the pressure of the greens. In three periods, Salavat made 39 shots at the opponent's goal, and their accuracy was off the charts. This time we managed to gain the upper hand with a difference of six goals (8:2). The most productive was striker Wilson, who scored a hat-trick and also provided two assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
Salavat Yulaev has only Kuzmin in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Salavat Yulaev concedes 2.3 goals per match.
- The Greens receive an average of 8.2 penalty minutes per match.

1.60Tip and bets
Even despite the two defeats by Salavat Yulaev, the bookmakers again give a fairly high coefficient for the victory of the greens, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. As you can see, Siberia does not stand up to competition and shows terrible results over and over again. The team is two heads weaker than the Ufa team, which is directly indicated by the statistics of face-to-face meetings. It is unlikely that the home walls will somehow fix the situation, so we suggest betting in favor of Ufa residents again.
Our betting tip is that Salavat Yulaev will win in 1.97
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Salavat Yulaev demonstrates an impressive attacking game, which allows him to smash his competitor.

Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.72
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Salavat Yulaev will start creating powerful pressure on his opponent from the first minutes of the match, which gives him an excellent chance to gain an advantage after the start, which is what we suggest betting on.
