Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev had a great end to the season and was initially considered the clear favorite in the series with Siberia. The team started this confrontation very well and at first absolutely justified this status. Let's remind that she finished the two opening matches with a total score of 15:2 and, it seemed, could finish the series already in Novosibirsk.
However, Viktor Kozlov's team did not look like themselves at the guest meetings. So, she failed the third match of the series and lost with a score of 0:2, and in the replay she was defeated with a score of 1:2, scoring the only abandoned goal at the very end of the third period. At the same time, in the last meeting, the greens experienced huge discipline problems and violated the rules six times, for which they paid with one of the missed pucks in the 5x3 format.
Viktor Kozlov did not respond at the post-match press conference that the team lacked the integrity of the game throughout all three periods. Also, according to him, psychological factors had an impact, since some players, on whom the outcome of the game may depend, simply could not cope with the pressure.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gleb Kuzmin will miss the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends

Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Siberia could hardly expect anything serious in this series, especially after two disastrous matches on the road. However, now the team has gained additional confidence in its abilities and is well aware that it can fight such a serious opponent on equal terms. However, it will be very difficult for her on someone else's playground.
Throughout the season, Vadim Epanchintsev's team has been experiencing difficulties playing away and is counting more on performances in the home arena, so it often demonstrates a weak game in matches with the leaders. But now Novosibirsk players have adjusted their defensive game, and Denis Kostin did a great job with his duties and parried more than 20 shots. In addition, Trevor Murphy broke the silence - the Canadian defender scored three points in the goal+pass system during the series.
In general, it was clear that Siberia was clearly following the game plan on its ice and following it throughout all three periods. The coach of the club, Vadim Epanchintsev, said that his players were better in movement, and also noted good teamwork.
Disqualifications and injuries
Belousov, Butuzov, Gordeev and Krasotkin will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia conducts an average of 21 power moves per match.
- Novosibirsk players, according to statistics, make only 20 shots on target in this series.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of four matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.67Bet 2nd period: Novosibirsk will score
Novosibirsk scored twice in the second leg in the last match.
1.88Tip and bets
Siberia will definitely continue to fight until the very end. The snowmen have forgotten about those two disastrous matches in Ufa and now have a certain psychological advantage. The upcoming match will definitely not be easy for Ufa residents. Of course, the greens will try to act as the first number again, but they are unlikely to be able to get such a crushing victory. If Novosibirsk players clearly follow the game plan and follow it throughout the entire 60 minutes, they will not concede even with a two-goal difference.
Betting Tip - Siberia wins with an Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Salavat had performance problems in the last two matches and could not open the opponent's defense more than twice. In addition, Denis Kostin showed a bright game and parried most of the shots. It's far from certain that the home stands will help the Greens score a lot this time, and they won't force things themselves and won't try to score as much as possible.
We're betting on Salavat's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
