Auto - Tolpar. Betting Tip (cf 1.97) and bets on the MHL match

The car earned a direct ticket to the Kharlamov Cup with great difficulty, mainly due to the form gained at the end of the regular season. The team won four in a row, which allowed them to rise to the fifth place in the Eastern Conference table of the Golden Division and avoid the playoff stage. In the first two playoff matches, the club played away to Tolpara, where it first defeated Ufa with a score of 5:2, and then snatched Victoria in a shootout (4:3). In the second leg, goalkeeper Sokolkin showed an incredible game, deflecting as many as 42 shots out of 45, which allowed him to return to the home arena with a comfortable advantage.

Fans' concerns about the shape of the crowd before the start of the playoffs were nevertheless confirmed. Even the home walls did not help the team to start successfully in the Kharlamov Cup. In the first match, Ufa suffered a complete defeat from the Car, having played terribly defensively (2:5). By the middle of the second period, the opponent scored four unanswered goals, and there was not enough time to win back such a gap. In the second leg, the team did not change tactics and again relied on the attacking line, but could not resist the sharp counterattacks of the Yekaterinburg team, which led to the second setback in a row (3:4B). Goalkeeper Yelin again failed to meet expectations, deflecting only 83% of shots.
