Command Analysis

Salavat Yulaev Ufa

Current form
Salavat Yulaev played the end of the regular season quite confidently and was able to be in the top three of the Eastern Conference. The team did not perform well in the opening series with Siberia, in which it was considered a clear favorite, but still managed to succeed with a score of 4:3. It is likely that such a protracted battle benefited her, since the club approached the confrontation with the red and white in good shape.
Ufa won Victoria in the first match with Spartak with a score of 4:1. At the same time, Viktor Kozlov's squad started that match with a missed puck, but later pulled themselves together and smartly took advantage of their moments. By the way, the greens acted from a position of strength and played number one, so they hit their opponent's goal with a total of 47 shots.
The best match was for Denis Yan, who scored a double. In general, it is not surprising that Salavat is revealed in all its glory on home ice, since throughout the season the team has achieved most of its victories with the support of the home stands.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kuzmin and Todd will not participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Salavat wins 52.1% of face-offs
- Ufa residents perform an average of 19 power techniques

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak looked great in the regular season last year, and this season they showed their best and stayed among the leaders of the Western Conference. However, the team has always had difficulties in the playoffs. If the Muscovites were as comfortable playing with Severstal as possible, and they felt at ease in that series, then it would obviously not be easy for them against Ufa.
The Red and white are heavily dependent on their attacking game. If they are left with less than two or three abandoned goals in the asset, then the game, as a rule, is not in their favor. In addition, it is very difficult for them to open the defense of opponents who manage to return to their zone and cover a lot of shots.
Alexey Zhamnov's team is also very much counting on the removal of his counterpart, which did not actually happen in the last match, because Spartak never played in the majority then. Plus, Pavel Ordin's creativity is clearly lacking, because the forward has scored only two points in the goal+pass system so far in this Gagarin Cup draw.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, Spartak has no problems with the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Spartak gets an average of 10.17 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, Muscovites make 30 shots on target.

1.65Tip and bets
We think that this series will definitely not be easy for Salavat, and Ufa players will not be able to win all the matches at home. At least they won't be able to deal with the Muscovites in all the matches on their ice during regular time. Spartak looked exactly as good as their counterpart in the first match, so we think that in the upcoming confrontation, Zhamnov's team will pull themselves together and put up a tight fight.
Betting Tip - Spartak will not lose in 1.82
Betting on an individual total
Spartak will certainly play more reliably in defense compared to the previous match and will try to minimize the number of dangerous moments at their own goal. Of course, a lot will depend on the goalkeeper, but we think that this time Nikolaev will play at the gate, who must do his job with a bang. Based on this, we expect to see no more than two goals from the hosts.
We take Salavat's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 2.10
Bet on the total total
Matches involving Salavat are rarely productive. Compared to the previous match, Spartak will change its style of play and try to play in a more conservative manner. By the way, many matches with the participation of the home team, and with the participation of Muscovites, took place with less than six goals scored. Based on this, we suggest taking a total of less.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.70
