Sibir Novosibirsk vs Salavat Yulaev Ufa Prediction 7 October 2026
🔊 It hasn’t been long since their clash in Ufa, but Sibir and Salavat Yulaev are set to face off once again. The first meeting went Sibir’s way, yet they failed to build on that momentum, ending their road trip with a loss to Neftekhimik. Things look even bleaker for Salavat Yulaev, who have dropped three straight games while conceding 13 goals in that span. Now Sibir return home, aiming to capitalize once more on their opponent’s defensive struggles in a short turnaround.
One goal was disallowed, while the other was scored by the goalkeeper.
📊 The recent clash in Ufa delivered plenty of drama. Just eight minutes in, Semyon Vyazovoy came out of his net to intercept but inadvertently deflected the puck into his own goal. The goal was credited to Alexander Pershakov. Salavat Yulaev twice managed to pull level, yet Sibir kept regaining the lead.
The turning point came with the visitors up 3-2. Jack Rodewald found the back of the net, but after a coach’s challenge from Sibir, the goal was overturned. In the dying moments, Darren Dietz sealed the win with an empty-netter, setting the final score at 4-2 in favour of the Novosibirsk side.
Head-to-head statistics Sibir Novosibirsk - Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Once again, they fail to put together a winning streak.
Sibir still struggle to string together back-to-back wins. Their 4-2 victory over Salavat Yulaev looked like it could be a turning point, but they immediately stumbled in Nizhnekamsk, falling 3-2 to Neftekhimik. Notably, the Novosibirsk side had taken the lead heading into the third period thanks to goals from Maksim Sushko and Egor Korshkov, but surrendered the final twenty minutes to their opponents.
The shot count in Nizhnekamsk was dead even at 34 apiece, and Sibir actually spent more time in the offensive zone-13:32 compared to 12:25. Still, their scoring woes persist, as the club averages just two goals per game. Amid these struggles, Alexander Yaremchuk stands out: since joining the team, he has scored three times in five appearances. The forward himself noted that trust from the coaching staff and increased ice time have helped him settle in quickly. Osipov and Gordeev remain sidelined through injury, while the status of Abramov, Beck, and Valitov is still uncertain.
