Salavat Yulaev noticeably slowed down and gradually dropped to eighth place in the Eastern Conference. The last defeat against the Shanghai Dragons turned out to be especially unpleasant, to which Ufa lost, leading 2-0. Lada, on the contrary, unexpectedly began to gain points and recently beat two serious rivals. However, Tolyatti residents still have big problems with their performance. Now the guests will have another difficult trip, this time to Ufa. In our betting tip, we will assess the current state of the teams and select a bid
Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Performance problems are becoming more noticeable. In four of the last five matches, Salavat Yulaev scored no more than two goals, and the only exception was the victory over Metallurg (5-4 B). After that, Ufa lost twice at home, losing to Ak Bars (1:2) and Sochi (1:2). It is especially unpleasant that even against not the most reliable opponents, Viktor Kozlov's team hardly creates enough dangerous moments.
In St. Petersburg, Salavat Yulaev was close to defeating the Shanghai Dragons. Maxim Zagrebin and Matthew Maggio scored in the second period, giving the visitors a 2-0 advantage. However, in the final twenty minutes, the opponent completely turned the tide of the meeting. Ufa conceded three times, with Riley Sutter scoring the decisive goal just six seconds before the siren. The 2-3 defeat was the third in a row, and now the team needs to improve in front of its fans.
Lada Togliatti
For a long time, Lada remained one of the weakest teams in the championship, but there have been some improvements in recent meetings. At first, the Tolyatti team unexpectedly managed to defeat the Avant-Garde (3:2 OT), and then went to Yaroslavl, where they met with the Locomotive. However, even these results still do not allow us to get out of the last place in the Western Conference. Things are especially difficult for the offense, which has scored only eight goals in the previous five matches.
The 1-0 victory over Lokomotiv turned out to be quite unexpected. Yaroslavl players attacked much more and sent the puck into the goal twice, but both goals were canceled after video reviews. Andrey Mishurov performed reliably at the last turn, and Andrey Altybarmakyan scored five minutes before the siren. This goal turned out to be the only one and brought Lada a second victory in a row. Now Igor Gorbenko's wards will have to test their defenses in Ufa.
After two unexpected victories, Lada got the opportunity to improve its position a little, but it's too early to talk about serious progress in the attack. Tolyatti players still don't create too many dangerous chances and rely on reliable play near their own goal in many ways. Salavat Yulaev is also going through a difficult period. Ufa went winless three times in a row, and even in home meetings with Ak Bars and Sochi they failed to score more than one goal. Therefore, there are few prerequisites for particularly effective hockey right now.
The guests will certainly try to repeat the recent success in Yaroslavl and will pay increased attention to defense. It is important for the owners to prevent another misfire, so we do not expect excessive risk from them either. A lot can be decided in the fight for one or two goals, especially if the goalkeepers play a reliable match again. We believe that the meeting will be quite cautious and the opponents will not score a lot of goals.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.65
