It is difficult to call the motorist the favorite of this confrontation, but Anatoly Golyshev's squad has already regained the advantage of the home court. So far, the Urals look a little more successful. What will be the fourth match? Read our betting tip for it
Command Analysis
Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars failed to finish the regular season at the top of the top eight in the East, so Kazan had to start the playoffs on the road. The Cats played well defensively, but they constantly lacked stability offensively. Anvar Gatiyatullin's team conceded only 2.38 goals per match, while they scored 3.1 times per game, with slightly more on the road. Artem Galimov was the team's top scorer during the season. He scored 59 goals (35+24) and was one point ahead of Alexander Barabanov (25+33).
The Leopards started the final part of the tournament with a victory in Yekaterinburg, scoring four accurate shots. Timur Bilyalov played a great game, which seems to have displaced Amir Miftakhov from the base. The team from the Republic of Tatarstan did not defend so well in the second match of the series and could not show their best hockey after returning to the ice of Tatneft Arena.
Disqualifications and injuries
Egor Babenko and Nikita Evseev will not play against the machinists again.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Ak Bars concedes 2.67 goals per match.
- On average, Kazan players make 34 shots per match.
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist was very good in the first part of the season and for a long time was on the first line in the East. The team from Yekaterinburg could not withstand the pressure of competitors and gradually fell down in the new calendar year. The team, led by Nikolai Zavarukhin, was able to squeeze out the last of its strength and increased at the end of the regular season, which allowed the machinists to at least start the playoffs on their own ice. Uralians play indoor hockey and try to play as reliably as possible in defense.
Anatoly Golyshev's squad started at home with an unpleasant defeat from Kazan, without showing a reliable game on their half of the ice. Evgeny Alikin has missed at least two times in every playoff match so far, while his offensive line partners compensate for his mistakes. The car has regained the advantage of home ice and will definitely return to Kazan once again.
Disqualifications and injuries
Curtis Volk did not come with the team to Kazan.
Interesting betting trends
- A motorist on average concedes three goals per match.
- On average, drivers receive an 8.67 minute penalty per match.

1.50Tip and bets
Ak Bars started the series with a victory, but now the team from Kazan is already losing. A second defeat on home ice will practically be a departure from the playoffs, because the opposition is very equal and no one wants to concede. The Uralians are not so good defensively, but they are still very good at using their chances offensively. We think that Anvar Gatiyatullin's team will be able to pull themselves together and, with the support of their home crowd, will achieve an important victory. We offer a bet on the first victory, taking into account overtime.
Our betting tip is for Ak Bars to win the match in 1.55
Betting on an individual total
Avtomobilist is not as reliable as the Ural team's coaching staff would like him to be. In each of the playoff matches, the machinists concede at least two goals, while Evgeny Alikin still enters the court from the first seconds. Ak Bars needs to go ahead and try to even the score in the series. We believe that this time the hosts can score at least three goals.
Betting Tip - Ak Bars' individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.77
Bet on the total
The teams are playing indoor hockey and the stakes continue to rise. Ak Bars needs to go ahead and try to compare the score in the series, but the Motorist still does not have the former reliability in defense and the guests will have to open up. In our opinion, the fourth match of the confrontation will be bright and will please the stands with at least five accurate shots.
Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.70
