Vyacheslav Butsaev's squad took some time, but they have finally started to address their challenging position in the standings. In four of their last six games, the team managed to earn points. While they haven't secured a win in regulation time during this stretch, that's not the primary goal.

🥅 Goalkeepers
Sibir's goaltender Anton Krasotkin has been one of the team's standout performers recently. The netminder saves an impressive 94% of shots on average, showcasing near-flawless play between the pipes.
Salavat Yulaev's goalie Semyon Vyazovoy has firmly secured his spot as the team's starting netminder. While he's not yet at the level of elite examples, he does what matters most-providing his teammates with plenty of opportunities. On average, the goaltender saves 90.3% of shots, a respectable figure given his circumstances.
Editors' Prediction
The main issue for both clubs remains their lackluster scoring ability, with just a combined total of 68 goals so far this season-fewer than Metallurg Magnitogorsk alone, who have netted 74 times. This inefficiency is even more pronounced for the visitors, as six of Salavat Yulaev's last seven games have seen fewer than six goals scored in total. We believe this trend will continue to hold true. Our bet is on total under 5.5 goals.No comments
