Salavat Yulaev - Avangard. Betting Tip and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Salavat Yulaev played away games, which brought the team almost no success. The first match with Ak Bars ended in a 1:5 defeat. The main reason for the defeat was a weak play in the minority, due to which the team conceded four goals. The attacking line also did not show its best side: in three periods, only 24 shots were made on the opponent goal. Goalkeeper Samonov, who was replaced at the beginning of the third period, also did not show his best. After that, the team went to Nizhnekamsk, where they met with Neftekhimik. The Ufa team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, realizing its attacking potential and defeating the wolves with a score of 7:4. The most productive player was forward Livo, who scored twice and gave three assists. It seemed that the greens would also confidently cope with Avangard, but the Omsk team was in good shape, and this created serious problems. The opponent exerted powerful pressure throughout the match, and only thanks to the efforts of goalkeeper Samonov was it possible to avoid a rout, losing to the Hawks with a minimal advantage of one goal (2:3).

However, having returned to the home arena, the club completely rehabilitated itself before the fans, leaving no chance for Neftekhimik and defeating it dry (5:0). This time, Livo also became the first star of the match, having scored a hat-trick and given an assist. Many expected that Salavat would continue to please the fans with results after such a stunning success, but in the match with Avtomobilist, the implementation of shots was practically zero, which led to a defeat with a score of 1:4. The Ufa team looked no worse than their competitor, but the puck stubbornly refused to fly into the target, which led to a loss of points. Despite this failure, the team remains in third place in the Eastern Conference table, having 60 points.
