LiontipsSalavat Yulaev - Neftekhimik: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Salavat Yulaev is in eighth position in the East and plans to play in the playoffs this season. The team led by Viktor Kozlov scored 38 points in 41 meetings and can beat Amur, which has one point more and played one match more than the hosts. Ufa players still have a negative goal difference, but this does not prevent them from regularly scoring points. After a disastrous stretch in December, Grigory Panin's squad was able to beat Amur (4:2) and Severstal (2:1, B) at home, but did not put the squeeze on Dynamo Minsk (2:3, OT).
In the two opening periods of the match against the bison, the Yulaev team did not look much worse than the opponent, but the Minsk team punished the hosts for violating discipline. In the third 20 minutes, Salavat Yulaev went ahead in an attempt to win back, and it bore fruit. First, Alexey Vasilevsky scored at the start of the final third of regular time, and a few minutes later Jack Rodwald realized the majority. It helped the hosts score points, but they still lost in overtime.
Alexander Zharovsky became the new leader of the attack of the hosts. The striker scored 29 points (11+18) in the goal+pass system.

Danil Alalykin will not help his team in the upcoming match.

Current form
Neftekhimik is in fifth place in the East and has no plans to drop below it. Nizhnekamsk scored 43 points in 42 starts and have already left their competitors from Chelyabinsk behind quite a lot. Igor Grishin's team failed December, losing five matches in a row, but they were able to sweeten their pill a little at the end of the year. Wolves beat Shanghai Dragons (4:3, OT) and defeated Torpedo (5:0). At the start of January, Alexander Dergachev's squad was outplayed in Sochi (1:2).
Timur Khairullin quickly led his team ahead in a duel against one of the main outsiders of the league. Neftekhimik held the advantage in the score for a long time, but failed defensively in the middle of the second period and missed twice. The wolves put pressure on Pavel Khomchenko's goal, but they could not win back and left the Bolshoi without points.
Andrey Belozerov scored 36 points (21+15) this season. He is the club's best striker.

All the guest leaders will come to Ufa.
Interesting betting trends

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In four games out of five involving Ufa, the first period was not productive.
1.75Bet period 2: the guests will not lose
Ufa has not won in the second period for eight consecutive games.
1.50Tip and bets
Salavat Yulaev has not played after the break yet, and it is not yet clear what to expect from the team under the command of Viktor Kozlov. The petrochemist has already tried his hand in the new year and suffered an unpleasant defeat in Sochi. Igor Grishin knows how to set up his team in the right way, so we expect to see the wolves as assembled as possible in Ufa.
Betting Tip - Petrochemist will not lose in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Salavat Yulaev has improved in terms of implementing chances lately, but the attack of the hosts is still difficult to call powerful. Neftekhimik knows how to hold a shot, while Nizhnekamsk is played by one of the best goalkeepers in the league, who regularly helps out his partners. We think that the visitors will not allow the opponent to create much in their zone and will not concede more than two or three goals.
We're betting on Salavat Yulaev's individual total of less than three goals in 1.55
