Siberia - Salavat Yulaev: betting tip and bets for the KHL match

Current form

Siberia made a terrible start in the Gagarin Cup and in the first two matches could not stop the pressure of Salavat Yulaev, suffering crushing defeats with a score of 0:7 and 2:8, respectively. From the worst side, the defensive line showed itself, which allowed the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous moments and realize them. It seemed that after such a weak start, the club would not come to its senses, but the home walls helped Novosibirsk not only to get the first victory, but also to even the score in the series. The team closed in defense and tried to play on the mistakes of the opponent, which made it possible to achieve success (2:0). After that, the snowflakes clearly believed in their strength and played on opposite courses, winning the second victory in a row (2:1). Striker Kostin played a great game twice.

However, in the next away match, the team again failed to give a worthy rebuff to the Ufa team, having already suffered the third defeat (2:5). This defeat has led to the fact that the club is now on the verge of relegation and any mistake can be fatal. Exactly how this will affect Siberia's game is still unclear.

Current form

Salavat Yulaev approached the playoffs as one of the main favorites of the Eastern Conference and started the series with Siberia that way. The team didn't leave any chances to the opponent due to the excellent attacking play. Ufa players created powerful pressure on Novosibirsk, constantly throwing at the goal, and in the first two matches the accuracy of these shots was off the scale. However, the team was unable to show the same productive game at a party, which turned out to be a big surprise. One abandoned puck in two meetings is clearly unusual for the club.

It seemed that the accuracy of the shots had something to do with the support of the home stands, as Salavat returned to his home arena and defeated his opponent with a score of 5.:2. Throughout the match, the team easily entered the Siberian zone and did not allow them to launch counterattacks, which allowed them to achieve an important victory. Now the club is just one step away from the quarterfinals and will try to avoid additional problems by completing the series today.
