Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Ural team competed for the leadership in the conference throughout the season, but failed to complete the regular season even in the top three of the conference. The machinists were able to keep the fourth place and got the right to start the playoffs on their ice. During the regular season, Nikolai Zavarukhin's wards tried to act with an eye on their own goal and played well defensively. Avtomobilist does not have a large number of effective strikers in the squad and mostly wins thanks to the strong play of his goalkeepers.
The car started with an unpleasant defeat on its own ice, but quickly recovered in the series and took the lead in the confrontation, beating Kazan on the ice of Tatneft Arena. Anatoly Golyshev's squad could have come home in a great mood and tried to knock their opponent out of the playoffs in Tatarstan. The hosts couldn't handle the pressure and were defeated in the last game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Curtis the Wolf will not participate in the game against the cats.
Interesting betting trends
- Machinists win 46.3% of face-offs in the playoffs

Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars wanted to reach the playoffs from first place in the East and had a good chance of completing this task. Anvar Gatiyatullin's team completely failed at the end of the regular season and stopped only at the fifth position in the conference. Kazan scored only 87 points and did not let the Vanguard go ahead thanks to a good game in the second half of March. Dmitry Yashkin's squad won three of the four matches before the start of the playoffs and confidently beat Barys (8-0) and Siberia (3-2, OT) on the road.
The team from Kazan started the playoffs with a landslide victory in Yekaterinburg, but then lost twice to the opponent, unable to get through the defensive redoubts of the Urals. It was extremely important for Ak Bars to win the last match, and the guests came out with a special mood. By the middle of the first period, they scored four goals and held the desired result without any problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikita Evseev and Egor Babenko will not help the team in the fifth game against the Uralians.
Interesting betting trends
- Ak Bars throws 33 times per game on average
- Kazan players earn eight minutes of penalty time for the match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In 9 of the last 12 matches with the participation of the "machinists", the first period was not productive.
1.64Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
Avto scored in the second period in four out of eight matches.
1.60Tip and bets
Ak Bars defeated the opponent in the last match and now the psychological advantage is clearly on the side of the guests. The team from the Republic of Tatarstan puts a lot of pressure on the goalkeepers of the Cars in every game, while the Uralians are still unable to cope with the attacking cats. We think that the fifth match of this series will be a turning point. We believe that Anvar Gatiyatullin's team will show their best hockey in Yekaterinburg and achieve success. We suggest betting on the victory of the second with a zero handicap.
Our betting tip is that Ak Bars will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
The motorist still has a lot of trouble getting attacked. The entire attack of the hosts is based on Stefan Da Costa, who is not playing his best hockey right now. Kazan are able to play reliably in their own half of the court, so it is very difficult to believe in three accurate shots from the hosts. We think that the defense of the leopards will cope with the attack of the hosts.
The betting tip is that the Motorist's individual total is less than 2.5 washers per 1.72
Bet on the total
In our opinion, such an important match will not be effective, because the stakes are very high. Ak Bars will try to act more reliably after a bright match on their ice. The motorist needs to act better in his zone and not let the opponent calmly enter it. We are not waiting for spectacular hockey and suggest betting on a total of fewer goals.
Betting Tip - total less than five goals in 1.67
