Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Throughout the season, Avtomobilist showed pretty good results on the home court, but on the road he did not play the best way and often could not cope even with outsiders. This trend continues in the opening round of the playoffs. Yekaterinburg had previously won two victories in three matches on their own ice, but they got only one victory on the road, which they got in the overtime (3:2 OT).
By the way, after a confident home victory over Kazan in the fifth match (2-0), it seemed that Nikolai Zavarukhin's squad was able to complete the series already in Kazan, but in that case it completely failed the opening game segment, during which it missed four goals and was not able to fully return to the game. By the way, Evgeny Alikin was replaced already in the fifth minute of the meeting, but this change did not affect the game in any way.
That's why the coaching staff will be racking their brains before the seventh match, who should be given the opportunity from the goalkeepers to play. In general, Alikin looked quite good at home meetings and there is a high probability that preference will be given to him.

Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars also looked a lot stronger on their own ice throughout the season, while they often had a lot of problems on the road. In general, it cannot be said that this year the team initially claimed a lot, as it always had difficulties both in defense and in attack. In addition, the goalkeeper, Amir Miftakhov, did not cope with his duties in the best way.
That's why the coaching staff chose Timur Bilyalov to be the number one, and he's the only one playing on goal in this playoff. By the way, Bilyalov played the last match at a high level and parried 21 shots, so there is no doubt that he will be the one to defend the possession in the upcoming meeting. In attack, Alexander Barabanov continues to demonstrate a great game, who is distinguished by his effective actions in almost every match and has already managed to earn six points using the goal+pass system.
However, Kazan's game doesn't really stick on someone else's court either, because Anvar Gatiyatulin's team has managed to win only one away victory so far.
Disqualifications and injuries
Babenko and Evseev will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Ak Bars gets seven minutes of penalty time.
- Kazan players perform 27 power moves per match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.95Bet 2nd period: Kazan will score

1.66Tip and bets
In this confrontation, it is impossible to give a clear preference to one of the clubs, since the game can go according to absolutely any scenario. However, we think that the teams will act very carefully and avoid making a lot of mistakes, so the difference in the score will be minimal. Plus, the clubs, which are absolutely equal in level, have never played each other in a draw in this series. Based on this, there is a high probability that it will be in the seventh match that everything will be decided outside of regular time.
Betting Tip - a draw for 3.90
Betting on an individual total
In the last four matches, the Motorist remained with the minimum number of goals scored. So, in none of the four matches could Yekaterinburg have scored more than two goals. In addition, Kazan players themselves have become more reliable in their own zone, and Timur Bilyalov is now doing an excellent job of his duties and parrying most of the dangerous throws.
We bet on the individual total of the Car less than 2.5 washers for 1.67
Bet on the total total
We do not expect to see a large number of abandoned goals in the last match of the series. Teams in such matches usually act with an eye on their own goal, and these meetings are held in a tense but inconclusive struggle. By the way, the last two out of four matches between them ended with less than five goals scored. Based on this, we suggest betting on a total of less.
We take a total of less than 4.5 goals for 2.00
