The Ufa players started the season quite well – with three away victories, though not at all over the most principled rivals. But then, when the opponent became more or less biting, the first defeat appeared. Nevertheless, Salavat started very, very well.

Avangard started the season even better – with four wins in a row. The first three turned out to be at home, and there was one fairly principled rival, Dynamo Moscow, which was also defeated. And then there was the first trip of the season, to Magnitogorsk, and there Avangard really showed its teeth.

And also Balashikha residents practically do not miss. In four games, they conceded three goals, that is, 0.75 goals conceded on average per match, while for goals scored the same indicator is 2.25. Agree, not a bad difference. All this allows us to call Avangard the favorite of the upcoming confrontation, which is emphasized by the statistics of personal meetings in the regular seasons: over the past two years, Avangard won seven of the eight regular season fights against Salavat.

On the side of the hosts, perhaps the season opening match in Ufa. It, of course, is of no small importance, since in such matches the hosts usually tear their sirloin to the British flag, but this moment is unlikely to be decisive. Moreover, Avangard have already had a couple of such matches this season, and they already know exactly what they will have to face.

In general, the away victory of Avangard appears throughout, and moreover, it is still quite confident. Unexpected, of course, cannot be discounted, but this is not the case to lay on it. Therefore, we write down: the guests will win in regulation time in a “grassroots” match and with an advantage of at least two goals.
