Command Analysis
Current form
Ak Bars had a brilliant regular season and, without the slightest difficulty, won the right to participate in the Gagarin Cup ahead of schedule. According to the results of the preliminary stage, the team took an honorable third place in the Eastern Conference, and the club's impeccably organized defense deserves special attention.
In the first series of the playoffs, Kazan had a chance to meet with a strong opponent, Tractor. It immediately became clear that the Leopards did not expect such an aggressive offensive from the Chelyabinsk team. Already in the opening period, the guests made 19 shots, which gave them a significant advantage. Ak Bars' first goal took place only ten minutes before the final signal, shortly after which the team realized the numerical advantage and took the lead. It seemed that the outcome of the meeting was decided, but twenty seconds before the final whistle, the bears again equalized the score, and as a result, Kazan pulled out the victory in overtime with a score of 3:2. The main star of the match, of course, was goalkeeper Bilyalov, who deflected 46 shots out of 48. Without his efforts, everything would have ended in complete failure.

Current form
Traktor came to the playoffs in great shape. Just before the end of the regular season, the team picked up a great pace and played a series of four matches in a row. This allowed her to take a more advantageous position before the Gagarin Cup, rising to sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
The start of the playoffs turned out to be very emotional for Traktor. The club played away from Ak Bars and dominated the court from the first minutes, creating many dangerous chances at the opponent's goal. But the puck was constantly flying past the target, and one of the goals was canceled due to interference with the goalkeeper. As a result, the Tractor was able to earn only a minimal advantage, although everything could have ended in the first twenty minutes. The main tragedy occurred at the end of the meeting. In the third period, the bears allowed their opponent to take the lead, conceding two goals. 20 seconds before the final whistle, they equalized the score. The fight was no less intense in extra time, and the teams practically played another period. Nevertheless, Traktor conceded a goal in the 17th minute of extra time and suffered an insulting defeat with a score of 2:3.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only goalkeeper Mylnikov remains in Traktor's infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- Chelyabinsk players score an average of three goals per match.
- The Bears receive an average of nine penalty minutes per match.

Tip and bets
As you can see, the superiority of Ak Bars over a Tractor is only on paper. In fact, the Chelyabinsk team is in no way inferior to their opponent and were almost able to start the series with a victory due to an incredibly active game in attack. The support of the native stands will certainly help the leopards in the upcoming match, but it is very difficult to believe in a confident victory in the main time. We believe that the bears will continue to perform in the same spirit and, at least, will not lose in regular time.
Our betting tip is that the Tractor will not lose in 1.82
In the opening match of the series, the goalkeepers played a major role, demonstrating their gorgeous form. Both teams created a huge number of dangerous moments, so the next meeting may well be much more productive. We believe that the clubs will be able to shoot a total of more than 4.5 goals, for which we propose to place a bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.60
