The locomotive is Salavat Yulaev. KHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

The railwaymen retain the first place in the West, but they may lose the lead in the very near future. Bob Hartley's team scored 38 points in 27 games and are only three points ahead of Dinamo Minsk, who played two fewer matches. In addition to Minsk residents, Torpedo is also breathing down the backs of Yaroslavl residents, who are in their best shape. The locomotives had a great time at the end of October and had a great start to the new calendar month. After a fairly successful home series of games, Alexander Yelesin's squad started on the road with a defeat in Nizhny Novgorod (1:2), but then turned out to be stronger than Spartak in the capital (6:3). Back home, Lokomotiv played their worst match of the season, losing dry to Barys (0-4).

Yaroslavl went into the match against Astana with the second goalkeeper at the start, but the latter was not so bad and conceded only one goal in the first 40 minutes. In the third period, the hosts let down their discipline and conceded three unanswered goals without scoring a single one. Loko lost to the leopards by all accounts and even with a big score could not throw one of the outsiders of the league.

Alexander Radulov continues to lead the team and is among the top ten scorers in the league. The veteran has scored 25 goals this season (12+13) and, together with Egor Surin (11+10), does most of the work on offense.

Current form

Salavat Yulaev made a terrible start to the new season, but Ufa is gradually improving its position in the table. To date, Viktor Kozlov's wards occupy the ninth position in the conference and are fighting hard for a place in the cup eight. Yulaev's team has earned 22 points in 25 starts and is one point behind Barys, who is ahead, but Astana have played two more matches than the guests. The Greens had a great time in the second half of October and scored a series of five consecutive wins, but since the beginning of the new month, the results of the team from the Republic of Bashkortostan have deteriorated significantly. In the last guest tour, Grigory Panin's squad won in Astana (2:1), but lost dry in Nizhnekamsk (0:1). Ufa lost to Lada (3:5) at home, but unexpectedly beat SKA (2:1) a day later.

In the game against the army, Salavat Yulaev missed a quick goal, but managed to recoup before the end of the first 20 minutes. At the equator of the match, the then hosts took the lead and were able to hold the desired result until the end of regular time, preventing the opponent from making a large number of shots on goal in the final third of the game.

Maxim Kuznetsov remains the team's top scorer. He scored 16 points (4+12) and often assists his teammates.
