Kunlun vs Salavat Yulaev: KHL match forecast
Kunlun is gradually losing its chances of making the playoffs and will try to start a new winning streak on February 11. Mikhail Kravets' team produces a very strong level of hockey in segments, but mostly it looks mediocre. Salavat Yulaeva intends to fight for the first place in the East, so Ufa residents have no right to lose to league outsiders. In early October, the Chinese won a strong-willed victory in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Will they be able to impose a fight now? This is stated in the forecast for the meeting
Command Analysis
HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun does not intend to give up and continues to fight for entry into the playoffs, but lately it has been moving further away from the eighth place in the West. Mikhail Kravets' team has been in ninth place in the West for a long time and has 49 points in its piggy bank after 53 matches. The Beijing team slowed down after a strong start to the new calendar year and lost six out of eight matches. The Dragons started at home with a victory over Traktor (4:3, OT), but after it they lost to Sochi (2:4), Ak Bars (3:6), Avtomobilist (1:2, OT) and Dynamo Moscow. The "stars" resisted the "blue and white" for quite a long time, but in the end they gave up and suffered a major defeat.
Kunlun remains the worst team in the league in terms of defensive numbers. On average, Kunlun concedes 3.25 goals per game, while at home they concede 3.48 goals per match. At the same time, the Stars have made significant improvements in reliability lately and have made fewer defensive mistakes. Patrick Rybar proved himself well in the duel against the Uralians and reflected 93.69% this season. Jeremy Smith remains the number one in the Beijing team.
Tomas Jurcio is Kunlun's top scorer throughout the regular season, but now he is injured. The Slovak striker scored 29 goals (9+20) and is ranked 71st on the KHL scoring list. Spencer Fu scored and earned one point less (14+14) and is also one of the top 100 hockey players in the league's offensive plan. Along with them, Tyler Graovac (11+15) is among the league's hundred leaders.

Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev is leaving after a fairly successful home series of games. The team from the Republic of Bashkortostan is in third place in the conference and is fighting for the second place in the East with Ak Bars, which scored one point more. Yulaevtsev currently has 71 scoring points after 52 games, while Traktor, which is in first place, scored five points more, but also played three more matches. In the first half of January, Viktor Kozlov's team did not show the best results, but now they have three wins in a row. After two away defeats, Ufa finished the away tour with a victory in Omsk (4:2), and then returned home and defeated Metallurg (6:4) and Neftekhimik (4:1).
The club from the Republic of Bashkortostan played strongly in attack and scored 19 goals in the last five matches, although it failed in a duel against the "army". In general, the visitors score 3.23 goals per game during the season and are consistently active in attack. Joshua Leivo is confidently leading the list of the league's top scorers. The Canadian scored 63 points (40+23) in the goal+pass system.
Alexander Samonov remains the main goalkeeper of Salavat. He has been good in recent matches and conceded only seven goals in the previous three matches. As for statistics, he has 92.57% of deflected shots this season and three shutouts in 37 starts. Perhaps Daniil Vyazovoy, who looked good in some matches, will get his next chance to prove himself.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gleb Kuzmin and Grigory Panin will not come with the team to Mytishchi.
Interesting betting trends
- Salavat Yulaev concedes an average of 2.40 goals per match.
The team is known for its very reliable defensive play throughout the regular season.
- The Greens have implemented 20.6% of the majority's attempts
It is also worth praising the excellent implementation of numerical superiority.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In five out of eight matches in Mytishchi, the first period was not productive.
1.80Bet 3rd period: "Salavat Yulaev" will score
The Muscovites scored in the third period in seven games.
1.40Tip and bets
It is inexcusable for Salavat Yulaev to lose points in matches against Kunlun-class teams. Viktor Kozlov's wards continue to fight for the first place in the East and are in great need of victory in the upcoming confrontation. Before the break, the Ufa team got into excellent shape and hardly lost everything in such a short period of time. The Beijing team looked pretty weak at the end of January and lost four matches in a row. Throughout the regular season, Mikhail Kravets' team did not perform well in Mytishchi and is unlikely to be ready to compete for points with one of the leaders of the East. We think that the Greens will surely take revenge for the defeat by the Dragons in the autumn. Let's play a bet on the victory of the guests in the main time.
Forecast - victory of "Salavat Yulaev" in 1.73
Betting on an individual total
Salavat Yulaev has a lot of strong offensive line players, while Joshua Livo is very good, who leads the list of the best snipers in the league by a huge margin. Jeremy Smith often helps out his team, but the overall skill level of the opponent will be too different. We think that the guests will score at least three or four goals against Kunlun.
We bet more than three goals on Salavat Yulaev's individual total with a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on the total total
In the fall, the teams played each other in Ufa and the match was supposed to go to the same goal, but Kunlun turned on the fifth gear and scored five goals against Ufa in the third period. It is unlikely that the players of Salavat Yulaev forgot about that duel and they will definitely go ahead from the first minutes. We expect at least six accurate shots for two from our opponents.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.95
