Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Salavat Yulaev vs Avtomobilist

Salavat Yulaev

Salavat Yulaev in his current state is one of the most unpredictable clubs in the KHL, capable of delivering both a series of great matches and failing miserably in a certain segment of the championship. The team already had a disastrous start, then an almost perfect October, another failure with six defeats in a row followed in mid-November, from which Viktor Kozlov's wards safely got out only closer to the pause in the championship. Confident victories in Omsk over Avangard 3-1 and in Novosibirsk over Siberia 6-3, it would seem, should have given the team an additional impetus, but in reality this did not happen.

The calendar favored the Ufa team, allowing Salavat to play four games in a row at home after a pause. The result is still quite modest - three points out of six possible. In the game against the Omsk Avangard, the Ufa team managed to grab one point, losing 1-2 in overtime. This was followed by a crushing defeat 1-5 from Amur, and Salavat has not yet lost so big at home this season. They managed to partially rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans in the next match, in which the Ufa team beat Admiral with a score of 5-3. After this victory, Salavat Yulaev returned to fifth place again, beating the same Admiral in the Eastern Conference standings.

Avtomobilist

The pause in the championship did not help the Urals either, knocking the team off the winning rhythm. Only one defeat in the last thirteen matches before a pause in the championship, and after the break, two defeats in a row at once. Moreover, like Salavat Yulaev, Avtomobilist lost in home matches, although Nikolai Zavarukhin's wards look great this season in Yekaterinburg. The matches against Siberia turned out to be unsuccessful, defeat 0-4, and Admiral, whom Avtomobilist lost with a score of 2-3.

Two misfires in a row did not particularly affect Avtomobilist's standings, the team from Yekaterinburg continues to be at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, having a certain point reserve in front of its closest pursuers. Avtomobilist now has 59 points in 41 matches played, while Metallurg, who is in second place, has played one match more, scoring 57 points.

Game Totals Prediction

Both teams did not enter the championship in the best way after a week and a half pause, but if Salavat has the points scored, Avtomobilist is only losing so far. The attack stopped working for the Urals, the star strikers are silent, having scored only two goals in two lost matches. It can't go on like this all the time, so Meisek, Da Costa, Golyshev should expect a scoring breakthrough in the next matches. Our prediction is the Individual Total of the Motorist over 2.5 with odds of 2.37.
