Analysis and forecast for the round of 16 match of the KHL playoffs “Traktor” Chelyabinsk – “Salavat Yulaev” Ufa (03/04/2024)
It’s time for the Continental Hockey League playoffs. On March 4, four third-round matches of the round of 16 of the Gagarin Cup will be played. In one of them, at the Arena-Traktor stadium in Chelyabinsk, the local Traktor will host Salavat Yulaev. The first confrontation is scheduled for 17:00 Moscow time.
The fight for leadership in the First League continues:
“Khimki” – “Tyumen”. Talalaev will resume the season with a victory
In the first match, Salavat Yulaev lost 3:4. In the post-match press conference, Viktor Kozlov noticed that his players were a little nervous. They were not completely mentally prepared for the start of the playoffs, but in the second game the uncertainty disappeared.
However, it should be noted that the eliminations of their opponents helped the Ufa players a lot. The incident with Charles Robinson was especially memorable. The American knocked down Grigory Panin, known for his ability to provoke his opponents, with a single blow. For this reason, he received two disciplinary fines and two major fines for fighting.
Alexey Zavarukhin called his ward’s actions self-defense. He focused on the origin of Panin. One way or another, a large number of fines and rough play do not bode well for the Chelyabinsk team. They risk losing the series not because of the quality of hockey, but because of emotions and lack of discipline.
One of the leaders of Salavat Yulaev, Alexander Khmelevsky, noted that Zavarukhin’s players must continue to break the rules and sit in the penalty area, and his team will score. Logical. The majority sales percentage of the Ufa team is decent – more than 20.
But how to leave these “nerazzurri”?
Inter – Genoa. Simone Inzaghi is looking forward to the Scudetto
Kozlov’s team spent the regular season very productively. The coach improved the game mechanics and the team became much more stable than last season. The Ufa team lost only 26 of 68 matches. During this period, they scored 196 goals, but only lost 143; only SKA and Lokomotiv had fewer goals.
Gradual progress can be seen in the performances of the young hockey players of “SYU”, in particular in the game of Danil Alalykin and Danil Bashkirov. The latter scored goals in both games with Traktor. Kozlov was very pleased that the young attackers fought against opponents of a higher weight category and managed to defend themselves.
In the next match, as in the previous one, a lot of fighting is expected. Alexey Zavarukhin, after the defeat in the second match, noted that there will only be fights between “Traktor” and “Salavat Yulaev”. For obvious reasons, the coach relies on the power play and intimidation of the opponent.
On Traktor there are much stronger and bigger hockey players than there are technicians. The Chelyabinsk team won only 37 of 68 games in the regular season, and only 27 of them were won in regulation time. During this period, they scored 183 goals and conceded 167.
Be that as it may, the best option for betting, in our opinion, seems to be TM 4.5 discs with an odds of 1.90. The fact is that Chelyabinsk residents concede an order of magnitude less often at home than on the road. In 34 games in the KHL regular season, they only conceded 63 own goals, but scored 92.
The Gunners are doing very well in the last rounds of the Premier League:
Sheffield-Arsenal. Arteta will continue his act of intimidation
The first away game in the KHL playoffs, like the first game against the Chelyabinsk team, can be stressful and of insufficient quality for Kozlov’s players. It is likely that the coach supports reliability in defense and that is why he will try to take the lead in the series.
Prediction and bet for the third match of the Gagarin Cup “Traktor” – “Salavat Yulaev” on March 4, 2024
The series promises to be a very interesting and intense fight. However, we don’t expect too many goals. The first two games were productive. Coaches are likely to draw conclusions and adjust their players’ defensive play. Traktor rarely loses at home and the Ufa team a priori has a very strong defense. We suggest reviewing the “fund” by objectives.
Tender: total less than 4.5 goals for 1.90.
