Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Ufa residents continue to alternate good matches with frankly disastrous ones. After a strong-willed victory over Siberia in overtime (5:4), Viktor Kozlov's team went to Magnitogorsk, where they immediately received seven goals from Metallurg (1:7). Moreover, the hosts scored three times by the fourth minute, after which Salavat Yulaev had to change the goalkeeper.
But in the next meeting, Ufa residents rehabilitated themselves in front of their fans. On home ice, the team beat Neftekhimik with a score of 4:3, and the main character was Sheldon Rempal, who scored a double. Vladislav Yefremov and Maxim Zagrebin also scored, with the latter scoring in the minority. However, the ending turned out to be nervous again. The guests reduced the gap 42 seconds before the siren, but the hosts still held the advantage.
Sibir Novosibirsk
Novosibirsk residents are also not stable yet, although they have held the last two meetings quite confidently. First, Yaroslav Luzenkov's team beat Traktor 2-1 on the road. Arkhip Nekolenko scored both goals, and Anton Krasotkin helped his partners out several times.
Siberia then went to Astana, where she managed to take revenge on Barys for the September defeat. However, the meeting was not easy. After the first period, the guests lost 1-2, but they managed to win back only in the final twenty minutes. First, Taylor Beck converted the majority, and then Pavel Tyutnev brought victory (3:2). Stepan Nikulin was especially good, scoring three points. In general, things are gradually getting better for Novosibirsk, but the defense still makes mistakes.
Salavat Yulaev now looks a little preferable to his opponent, although Siberia definitely should not be completely written off. Novosibirsk have won their last two matches and are gradually gaining confidence, but Ufa have more serious offensive capabilities. Especially important was the return of the productive game of Sheldon Rempal, who immediately scored a double against the Petrochemical. Of course, the hosts have enough problems in defense, as the recent meetings have shown well.
However, Siberia is also far from always reliable and regularly allows rivals to create dangerous moments. In the previous match between these teams, Ufa managed to win back the gap and snatch victory in overtime. Now they will play in front of their fans again and will certainly try to be more active from the first minutes. If the hosts can avoid blunders in defense, their attacking potential should be enough for another success.
Our betting tip is that Salavat Yulaev will win by 1.80
