Command Analysis
Amur Khabarovsk
Amur's four-match winning streak ended in the confrontation with Spartak. Khabarovsk quickly opened the scoring thanks to Vitaly Abramov, who scored in the second minute. However, then the hosts remained three against five rivals and allowed the Muscovites to restore equality. And five minutes before the siren, Christian Yarosh scored the decisive goal. As a result, the defeat was 1:2, although in terms of the content of the game, Alexander Andrievsky's team looked quite decent.
Prior to that, Amur had performed almost flawlessly on the defensive. First, the Motorist defeated (3:0), then he beat the Tractor twice (2:1 and 2:0), and then he coped with Lada (1:0). Khabarovsk have conceded only three goals in the last five matches. The game in the minority was especially impressive, where the team did not allow the opponents to distinguish themselves during 13 meetings. This series was interrupted only by Spartacus. In general, reliability remains the main advantage of the hosts, even despite the latest defeat.
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Ufa residents continue to alternate successful matches with frankly unsuccessful ones. Viktor Kozlov's team first managed to snatch victory from Siberia in overtime (5:4), but then received seven goals from Metallurg (1:7). After that, we managed to beat Neftekhimik with a score of 4:3, with Sheldon Rempal scoring a double. It seemed that Salavat Yulaev had finally fixed the situation, but the next meeting ended in defeat again.
Against Siberia, the hosts took the lead twice in the first period thanks to goals from Maxim Kuznetsov and Jack Rodwald. But in the second twenty minutes, the guests managed not only to equalize the score, but also to take the lead. In the final segment, Sergey Popov consolidated the advantage of Novosibirsk (2:4). Moreover, Salavat Yulaev spent a lot of time on the attack, but failed to take advantage of his opportunities. Ufa have conceded 14 goals in the last three meetings. With such a defense, it is really difficult to count on stable results.
Cupid now makes a much more pleasant impression precisely due to the organization of the game. Khabarovsk residents have practically stopped making serious mistakes and have learned to achieve results even with minimal performance. The defeat by Spartak turned out to be insulting, but it did not negate previous successes. But Salavat Yulaev conceded 14 goals in three matches and still cannot find the necessary stability in defense. Moreover, Ufa residents regularly lose their advantage even after a successful start to the meeting.
Of course, the guests have a strong enough offense that can create problems for any team. But there will be much less free space against the current Amur. Khabarovsk residents will certainly try to play as disciplined as possible, not allowing the opponent to disperse quick attacks. With the support of the home stands, such hockey may well bring them another victory.
