Severstal - Salavat Yulaev: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Severstal remains one of the main leaders of the Western Conference and currently occupies the second position in the standings with 49 points. The team is having a great season, but December is not going well for them so far. So, the Cherepovets team suffered two defeats in four matches before going on hiatus. They were able to finish off the Tractor (3:2), after which they lost to Dynamo Moscow (0:1 OT) and Avtomobilist (1:4), and then celebrated success only in the away match with Lada with a score of 3:2.

At the home arena, the steelworkers demonstrate powerful results and, as a rule, delight fans with three abandoned goals. However, if Andrei Kozyrev's squad is doing well in equal formations, then it is experiencing certain difficulties in the majority and in the minority. To date, the club has only 16.7% of the excess sales, as well as 79.1% of the neutralization of the majority of the opponent, therefore, in order to increase efficiency, Severstal, of course, should work on these components.

Disqualifications and injuries

Grigory Vashchenko, Egor Smirnov, Makar Formin and Konstantin Shostak will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

• According to statistics, Severstal wins 46.9% of face-offs
• Residents of Cherepovets carry out only about six power techniques per match.

Current form

Salavat Yulaev found himself outside the playoff zone and is now on the ninth line of the Eastern Conference, literally one point behind Barys. Ufa residents have not been able to gain stability lately, and after a series of three victories, they often began to lose. Before the break, they lost to the Shanghai Dragons (2:3), beat Ak Bars (4:1) and lost again to CSKA (1:3). After the break, the situation did not change for the better, as Viktor Kozlov's team could not cope with Ak Bars on the road (3-6).

Let's emphasize that the results at other venues, in general, leave much to be desired this season, since the Greens won only four victories during regular time and scored no more than two goals on average. Despite this, they can boast of a pretty good defensive game, especially in the minority. So, at the moment, the club has 86% neutralization of the majority of the opponent and is the best in the league in this indicator. However, the first and third game segments still cause Salavat the most problems, and the team feels much more comfortable in the second period.

Disqualifications and injuries

Only Danil Alalykin will miss the upcoming match.
