Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv stumbled only in the opening match with Salavat Yulaev, and in the rest of the matches it looked great. The hardest part was left behind, as the Yaroslavl team showed their best on the road and were able to defeat Victoria with the score 4:2 and 3:0, respectively. They managed to play their hockey and not let the opponent score more than two goals.
In the latter case, Daniil Isaev scored a cracker, reflecting a total of 27 shots. Then the railwaymen had certain problems with discipline, and they retired three times, but they played at a high level in the minority. Note that Loko feels most comfortable during the playoffs in the second game, in which he has a 20:9 ratio in goals scored and conceded and always tries to find his moments on the far benches.
It is noteworthy that in the framework of the Gagarin Cup, the club does not have a pronounced leader in the attack zone, since all three take an active part in the attack and regularly earn points using the goal +pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikulin and Panik will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The locomotive gets an average of 5.8 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, Yaroslavl makes 31 shots on target.
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev has probably reached his maximum this season. The team did not look so stable throughout the year and was able to get in good shape just before the start of the playoffs. However, she literally hung by a thread in the confrontation with Spartak and miraculously escaped from the Gagarin Cup draw there. However, in that series Ufa showed better performance than against Lokomotiv.
Viktor Kozlov's squad only counts on attacking, but if the opponent does not allow them to create a large number of dangerous moments, then this attack comes to a standstill. By the way, the club's coach noted at the post-match press conference of the fourth match that the opponent plays well both defensively and offensively, but does not make mistakes at all in defense.
It is also worth mentioning that Salavat has never scored in the majority in this series, although he is still one of the best in the playoffs in this indicator and has 25% of excess sales. Of course, in order to pass such opponents, it is necessary to use this aspect, otherwise it will be almost impossible for Yaroslavl to score.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kuzmin and Todd will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Salavat gets an average of 5.72 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, Ufa players perform 20 power moves per match.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.55Bet 2nd period: victory of Yaroslavl
In the last four matches, the hosts have kept the second leg for themselves.
2.45Tip and bets
In our opinion, Lokomotiv can complete the series in the upcoming match. Yaroslavl residents are in good shape now and in many aspects they look better than their counterpart. The key factor is playing defense, because the railroad workers practically do not allow them to create dangerous moments at their gates, but they use their moments quite well. We think that with the support of the home stands, Nikitin's team will get Victoria and go through to the finals.
Betting Tip - victory of the Locomotive in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
Salavat could not open his opponent's defense more than twice in the last three matches, and in the last case he was completely left without missing goals. In addition, Ufa have never scored in the majority in this series and, in general, have problems with the implementation of chances. If Daniil Isaev plays well again, it is hard to believe that the guests will be able to score even twice.
We bet on Salavat's individual total of less than two goals for 1.70
Bet on the total total
In such an important match for both teams, we don't expect to see a lot of goals scored. Lokomotiv will play in their usual style and minimize the number of chances at their own goal. By the way, only one of the four previous matches between the clubs ended with more than four goals scored. Based on this, we suggest betting on a total of less.
We take a total of less than 4.5 goals for 1.85
