Salavat Yulaev Is A Motorist. Betting Tip (cf 1.97) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The failure in the first game prompted the coaching staff to make some changes in the line-up and urge the players to play more closely in defense and focus on fulfilling game settings. Ufa residents managed to neutralize their evil genius in the Yekaterinburg team, Daniel Sprong, who spoiled a lot of their blood in the last game. The Dutchman was given only two shots on goal during the entire game, and these shots did not reach the target. In these conditions, the other forwards of the Motorist became more active - Alexey Byvaltsev and Danil Romantsev scored four shots on target, but Ufa goalkeeper Semyon Vyazovoy was impenetrable that evening.

But Romantsev eventually became the antihero of the match, leaving his team outnumbered at the end of the first period. The guests took full advantage of this favorable circumstance - Sheldon Rempal sent Egor Suchkov into a breakthrough on the left flank, and without slowing down, he drove a spider out from under the crosspiece of Vladimir Galkin's goal with a jewel-like precision throw. It cannot be said that the game was closed – the teams attacked a lot, but the actions of the defenders and goalkeepers led to the fact that the score did not change 1-0 in favor of the guests. This victory was the hundredth for Salavat during the team's participation in the KHL playoffs and the two hundredth for Ufa coach Viktor Kozlov in his coaching career. The score in the series became 1-1.

The second match of the series was, like the first, of a pronounced cup nature, when hockey players take their actions on the ice with increased responsibility. It was a duel of equal rivals, which was reflected in the statistical results of the game: the teams scored 27 shots each, blocked 15 shots of the opponent, won the throw-ins with a slight advantage on the side of the guests 24-27, on the power techniques – on the side of the hosts 25-20. In the first two periods, there was a lot of sticky fighting on the ice and few scoring situations, the goalkeepers acted reliably. At one point, Nikita Shashkov was unlucky, whose shot was deflected by the crossbar behind Semyon Vyazov.

The goal scored by Ufa in the numerical majority in the first period, as it turned out later, decided the fate of the match. The third period lasted relatively short in total time – there was an episode when the teams operated for more than eight minutes without a single stop in the game. Avtomobilist's players, losing in the score, tried to act more actively, but they made a lot of mistakes – in the third period they made 12 losses against their opponent's five. The final time-out, the active pressure of the Motorist and the assault with the replacement of the goalkeeper with an extra player were not successful. The series is moving to Ufa, but it will definitely return to Yekaterinburg for at least one more game.
