Avtomobilist - Salavat Yulaev: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the KHL Playoffs match

Current form

The start of the series against Salavat Yulaev looked quite cloudless for the Yekaterinburg residents and did not portend any trouble. The advantage of his ice, a confident victory in the first game on March 23 (2-0), a double by Daniel Sprong, a cracker by Vladimir Galkin – what is not a step towards overall success? However, the Ufa team managed to learn the right lessons from the opening match and found such weighty counterarguments that they first equalized the score in the away series, and then took the lead. Having lost both away games (3:4) and (2:5), Avtomobilist has put himself on the brink of relegation and, in case of defeat at home, risks prematurely dropping out of the fight for the Gagarin Cup already at the first stage.

In the fourth game on March 29 in Ufa, the leaders of the team from previous matches were not up to par – Daniel Sprong's stick was silent, and goalkeeper Vladimir Galkin was replaced after missing four goals. Two goals from veterans Alexander Sharov and Anatoly Golyshev were not enough to compete with Salavat, who caught the courage - as a result, the match was lost (2:5), the gap in the series is critical: 1-3.
