Ultimately, the hosts took only second place in the table, losing the main trophy to the guests from Cherepovets.

Trends
Bet 1st period: Salavat Yulaev win or draw
Ufa did not lose to Magnitka in the first 20 minutes in three of the four previous matches.
1.45Bet 2nd period: total under 1.5 goals
In four of the five head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score at least two goals in the second period.
Tip and bets
Salavat Yulaev beat Metallurg at a home tournament, and at that time the steelworkers played with Ilya Nabokov in goal and in a lineup close to optimal. Magnitka is not playing its best hockey this summer, so the club from Ufa will definitely have a chance to score. We believe that in this game it would be more appropriate to take the double chance of the guests.
Our prediction - Salavat Yulaev will not lose for 1.75
Bet on total
Both teams prefer to play defensively and rarely please the stands with a large number of goals scored in face-to-face matches. At the Bashkortostan Republic Cup, these teams scored only four accurate hits between them. We don't think the game pattern will change much in Magnitogorsk.
Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals for 1.90
