Command Analysis
Current form
Ak Bars got off to a great start in the semi-final series with Metallurg. The team gained peak form during the playoffs and defeated Magnitogorsk with a score of 5.:2. Already in the first period, we managed to earn a very significant three-goal advantage. It is impossible not to mention defender Miller, who scored a hat-trick of assists. However, the defensive line played poorly in the second leg, and goalkeeper Bilyalov also failed, which led to a defeat (2:4).
Returning to the home arena, Gatiyatulin's team bet on the defensive line. Very sharp counterattacks and excellent individual execution of the players made it possible to regain the advantage in the series, winning a very convincing victory with a score of 4:1. This time, striker Katelvsky unexpectedly scored a double. Goalkeeper Bilyalov also rehabilitated himself in front of the fans, deflecting 27 shots out of 28, thus avoiding additional problems.

Current form
Metallurg met a very powerful opponent for the first time in this Gagarin Cup draw. Indeed, in the first two rounds, the team easily coped with obvious outsiders in the face of Siberia and Torpedo. Magnitogorsk residents had problems from the very start of the semi-final. The house walls did not help to hold back the powerful pressure of the leopards, which led to a complete failure (2:5). Goalkeeper Smolin also showed his worst side, who was completely replaced in the first period after the third missed goal. However, in the return match, the foxes still took revenge, winning a landslide victory (4:2).
That was the end of the success. Razin's team went to play on the road, where, although they created a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, they could not break through the strong goalkeeper of the Leopards, suffering another defeat with a score of 1:4. It seems that the team was not ready for such serious competition, and its high speed is not enough.
Disqualifications and injuries
Silantyev continues to be in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- Metallurg scores an average of three goals per match in the playoffs.

Tip and bets
It is rather strange that the bookmakers are giving Ak Bars such a high coefficient again, since the team has already defeated Metallurg twice in the series. Magnitogorsk are experiencing huge problems in defense and cannot cope with the powerful pressure of the opponent. In addition to this, Kazan will once again perform on the home arena, where, with the support of their native stands, they have even more chances of success. Nevertheless, we suggest that you make the most reliable bet on the double chance of the ice masters.
