LiontipsSalavat Yulaev - Shanghai Dragons: betting tip (cf 1.88) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Salavat Yulaev is actively fighting to stay on the fifth line of the Eastern Conference until the end of the regular season and get into the playoffs from there. So far, the team is three points ahead of the nearest pursuer in the form of a Tractor. It should be noted that Ufa is clearly not in its best condition right now and had previously faced a series of three defeats. Nevertheless, they will play their next matches at home, and their opponents will not be the most difficult.
Let's remind that before that, back in Khabarovsk, Viktor Kozlov's wards lost to Amur (3:6), after which they could not cope with Magnitogorsk Metallurg (1:2 OT) and Dynamo Moscow (2:3 B) in their stands. In the last two meetings, the greens showed a good and well-coordinated defensive game, but they themselves could not offer anything to their opponents in attack. However, Salavat still produces decent results on his ice throughout the season and allowed himself to be beaten only ten times during regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Alexander Komarov will miss the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Salavat Yulaev performs 17 power techniques.
- Ufa players, according to statistics, win 46.4% of face-offs
Current form
The Shanghai Dragons are in ninth position in the Western Conference and have long had no motivation for the rest of the season. The team, of course, is trying to cause problems for its rivals, but it is clearly not operating at its maximum capacity right now. That is why it is not surprising that the Chinese began to lose match after match. At the moment, their losing streak has already reached four matches, and in the near future they will face only serious rivals.
The Dragons lost to Siberia (1:2) and Barys (4:8) on their ice, and after that they lost to Dynamo Moscow (2:4) and Avangard (1:6). In many cases, Mitch Love's squad has trouble defending and allows their opponents to score at least three or four times. The most disastrous performance of the club remains the third game period, in which today it has a 45:77 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded. Do not forget that the team has problems playing in the minority, and it has only 78.8% neutralization.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeremy Grolo, Andrey Kareev, Patrick Rybar and Ben Harpur will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the Shanghai Dragons make 29 shots on target per match.
- According to statistics, the Chinese win 48.8% of face-offs

1.38Tip and bets
Salavat Yulaev is far from optimal shape, but with the support of the home stands, he still has to pull himself together and try to break the current series of failures, especially considering that Ufa now have a lot of tournament motivation, unlike the Shanghai Dragons, who are just finishing the season. Previously, the Dragons lost only in regular time and usually lost by a few goals, so we think that betting on the success of the hosts with a head start looks like a good option.
Prediction - Salavat Yulaev wins with an Asian handicap (-1) on goals in 1.88
Betting on an individual total
The Shanghai Dragons often have performance problems in matches with similar opponents. Salavat Yulaev, in turn, is very reliable defensively and, as a rule, does not allow teams outside the playoff zone to distinguish themselves more than once or twice, especially when playing on his own ice. Based on this, we suggest betting on an individual total of guests.
We take the Shanghai Dragons' individual total of less than two goals for 1.77
