Neftekhimik - Salavat Yulaev: betting tip (cf. 2.00) and bets on the KHL match

The last two defeats have turned into a real defensive disaster for Nizhnekamsk. First, Igor Grishin's team lost to Metallurg with a score of 1:8, and then lost to Lokomotiv on the home court (1:5). Yaroslavl team completely controlled most of the meeting and by the middle of the third period led with an advantage of four goals. Dmitry Tyulin scored the only goal of the Petrochemist in the majority, when it was almost impossible to fix the situation.

Until recently, the club's results looked much better. Nizhnekamsk defeated Siberia (3:1) and Sochi (2:1), demonstrating a fairly reliable defensive game. However, after returning home, the team faced problems again. Andrey Belozerov and Rafael Bikmullin remain important offensive performers, but their partners have lacked effectiveness in recent meetings. In addition, the number of mistakes when playing in your own zone has increased significantly.

Ufa residents are gradually regaining confidence after three defeats in a row. The victory over Avtomobilist with a score of 3:2 in overtime turned out to be especially important. Vadim Shipachev scored a double in the first period, and Matthew Maggio scored the decisive goal in the last minute of extra time. A significant role was played by goalkeeper Semyon Vyazovoy, who helped the team withstand the pressure from Yekaterinburg.

Before that, Salavat Yulaev defeated Lada (5-0), with Sheldon Rempal scoring twice in the third period. The Canadian striker remains one of Ufa's performance leaders, while Alexander Zharovsky and Jack Rodwald provide additional support in attack. An important advantage of the guests is the statistics of face-to-face meetings. Salavat Yulaev has won the last five confrontations with Neftekhimik, including two matches of the current championship.
