On the 24th of October, there will be a meeting between Salavat Yulaev and Vityaz at Ufa Arena. Will Podolsk residents be able to take revenge on a visit? Or will the Ufa once again be stronger and delight the audience with a beautiful game? Let’s take a look at how teams are performing in this season of the KHL.
Salavat Yulayev
Nikolai Tsulygin’s wards occupy the fifth line in the rating table of the Eastern Conference; they have 25 points. They started the home series with a confident victory over a principled rival – Ak Bars. In the “green rivalry” they managed to beat the team from Kazan (3-1). After that, the Omsk club Avangard came to them. Salavat Yulayev lost to Omsk in shootouts (1-2). It is worth to note that the Ufa team showed character and willpower, thanks to which they tied the score 4 seconds before the final siren and transferred the game to OT, where they created many dangerous chances, but they were not so lucky that time. In the forthcoming match, the defenceman Grigory Panin won’t be able to help his team.
Vityaz
The squad of Mikhail Kravets phenomenally started the regular season, for some time they led the standings of the Western Conference, but now they have fallen to the third line. This decline is because they agreed to exchange players with the SKA team. 2 leading players (goalkeeper and striker) left the Podolsk team, without them they look “bloodless”. At the moment, they have a series of two defeats. In their latest confrontation, Vityaz lost to Sibir with a score (1-4). It is worth to notice that they showed a weak penalty killing, earned two penalties and conceded two goals.
Salavat Yulayev vs Vityaz prediction
In the upcoming encounter, it is worth to bet on the victory of the Ufa team in regular time. Of course, throughout the season they cannot boast of stable results, but the Podolsk residents are now not in the most optimal shape. Due to the factor of the home arena, the wards of Tsuligin will be able to win the upcoming match. Besides, Vityaz has a series of three defeats; they are now showing an extremely uncertain game, which is due to the departure of the two leading players.
Alternative bet – a total of less than four goals. Some teams are used to acting on defence, as they have the poor implementation of scoring chances. Based on this, the defensive and power hockey awaits us. In personal meetings between these two teams, this total was usually the case; this trend is unlikely to break.
