Just twelve days ago, Metallurg scored seven goals for Salavat Yulaev, leaving almost no chance for his opponent. Since then, the hosts have won three more meetings and continue to lead the Eastern Conference confidently. But Ufa residents have not yet managed to achieve stability. After an impressive comeback in Khabarovsk, Viktor Kozlov's team lost to Admiral, for the first time in several matches remaining without any goals at all. Now there is a repeat meeting with the leader of the championship. In our betting tip, we will assess whether the guests will be able to avoid the previous mistakes, and choose the appropriate bid
Command Analysis
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Metallurg's fifth victory in a row was not as easy as the fans might have expected. In the confrontation with the Motorist, Magnitogorsk opened the scoring thanks to Nikita Korotkov, but in the second period they allowed their opponent to seize the initiative. Maxim Denezhkin and Maxim Tarasov hit Alexander Smolin's goal twice, and before the final twenty minutes, the hosts lost 1:2. However, then Vladimir Vorobyov's team noticeably increased.
Nathan Todd restored equality, Andrey Kozlov put Metallurg ahead, and Nikita Mikhailis scored into an empty net. As a result, the victory was 4:2, although Smolin had to save his partners several times. Earlier, Magnitogorsk defeated Dinamo Minsk (3:1), Torpedo in overtime (3:2) and defeated Salavat Yulaev (7:1). At the same time, the coaching staff continues to change combinations, giving different hockey players the opportunity to prove themselves. So far, this rotation has had virtually no effect on the results, and the team confidently holds the lead in the conference.
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
The Vladivostok stage of the Far Eastern trip turned out to be quite unsuccessful for Salavat Yulaev. After a strong-willed victory over Amur (4:3), when the team recovered from the score 0:3, Ufa residents failed to distinguish themselves in the confrontation with the Admiral. Moreover, the score remained equal for two periods, but at the beginning of the third Bourne Rendulic put the hosts ahead. In the end, Ivan Muranov scored into an empty net, setting the final score 2:0.
In total, the guests made 23 shots, and none of them reached the target. Even Sheldon Rempal, who had been scoring regularly before, was unable to help the team. At the same time, Salavat Yulaev's defense also continues to raise questions. Ufa have conceded 19 goals in the last five matches, with seven of them coming from the previous meeting with Metallurg. Then in Magnitogorsk, Kozlov's team lost 1:7. Now it is important not only to establish implementation, but also to try to contain a much more effective opponent.
It will not be easy to repeat the result of 7:1, but the advantage of the Metallurgist looks quite serious even without taking into account the previous personal meeting. Magnitogorsk won five matches in a row, and they were successful even when their opponents were ahead. The team did not have a perfect second period against the Motorist, but they managed to pull themselves together and completely change the situation in the final segment. Salavat Yulaev has significantly fewer such opportunities so far, especially when the attack ceases to bring results.
The last meeting with the Admiral should make Ufa residents think seriously about the implementation of the moments. But it will be difficult to fix all the problems in a few days. The hosts have a more balanced squad, are confident on their court and regularly score at least three goals. Therefore, even without another defeat, Metallurg is able to achieve its sixth victory in a row.
Our betting tip is that Metallurgist will win in 1.80
