Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
At the start of the playoffs, Ufa faced Novosibirsk Siberia and failed to show their best hockey throughout the series. Viktor Kozlov's team performed quite strongly on their ice, but they failed to win a single match on the road (4:3 in the series). In the second round, Salavat Yulaev faced Spartak and, after an embarrassing defeat in the second game of the series, was one step away from being eliminated from the tournament. Grigory Panin's squad showed character and achieved success in three meetings in a row, reaching the semifinals (4:3 in the series).
Yulaev's team came to Yaroslavl for a victory and achieved their goal in the opening match of the series (3:1). The Greens put the squeeze on their opponent in the end and deservedly won, although they threw less often than Loko. A day later, Joshua Livo returned to the lineup, but he could not help his partners consolidate the advantage. The Ufa club was losing by two goals before the start of the third period and failed to catch up with the opponent.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv got far from the strongest opponent in the first round of the playoffs. The team led by Igor Nikitin completely controlled the course of the series against Torpedo and did not give Nizhny Novgorod a single chance to advance further (4:3 in the series). The railwaymen did not lose a single match and calmly advanced to the next round. In the series against Avangard, Yaroslavl had some problems and they lost the advantage in two matches and achieved success only in the seventh meeting (4:3 in the series).
The locomotives got an important rest time and came out pretty fresh for the first match of the semifinals, but they couldn't realize their chances and missed an offensive goal at the end of the third period. Alexander Yelesin's team did not get too upset and a day later quite calmly took revenge (2:1). Yaroslavl once again led by two goals before the final 20 minutes and lost in it.
Disqualifications and injuries
Semyon Nikulin and Richard Panik will not come to Ufa with their partners.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the Locomotive makes 32 shots on target.
- According to statistics, Yaroslavl wins 60.2% of face-offs.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In both games of the series, the first period was not productive.
1.58Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
Yaroslavl scored in the second period in two games at home
1.65Tip and bets
Lokomotiv lost in the opening match of the series for the second time in a row, but was able to win in the second meeting, dominating the opponent. The steam locomotives were much stronger than Salavat Yulaev before the start of the third leg of the last game and deservedly equalized the score in this confrontation. The Railwaymen play very hard on the road and in this playoff they lost only one match away. Viktor Kozlov's team is very good in Ufa, but we believe in the finalists of the last draw. We offer a bet on the victory of the second, taking into account overtime.
Our betting tip is that Lokomotiv will win the match in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Salavat Yulaev generally played well offensively, but without taking into account the puck in an empty net, he scored only three accurate hits in 120 minutes. The Ufa team usually looks great ahead on its ice, but now a Locomotive is coming to visit it. Yaroslavl are the best defensively and are unlikely to concede more than one or two goals.
The betting tip is Salavat Yulaev's individual total of less than two goals in 2.05
Bet on the total
The series between the teams, as expected, turns out to be quite inconclusive. Both teams try to act with a constant eye on their own goal and do not intend to make stupid mistakes in defense. Now the score in the series is equal, so it is unlikely that one of the sides will open and go ahead from the first seconds. We don't expect more than four accurate shots from the teams.
The betting tip is a total of less than 4.5 goals in 1.85
