Salavat Yulaev UFA vs Amur Khabarovsk Prediction 25 December 2025
🔊 Ufa's Salavat Yulaev and Khabarovsk's Amur are set to clash for the second time in three days as part of the KHL regular season. The hosts are battling for a spot in the Eastern Conference playoff top eight, with the visitors being their direct rivals. However, the team has struggled to deliver impressive results recently.
Head-to-Head
The first matchup of the season between these rivals was highly illustrative. The hosts quickly took a two-goal lead but managed to squander their advantage and ended up with nothing (2-4). Forward Yaroslav Likhachev played a decisive role in his team's victory, scoring a brace in Ufa.
Head-to-head statistics Salavat Yulaev UFA - Amur Khabarovsk
Salavat Yulaev UFA Team Overview
Viktor Kozlov's squad doesn't seem to be in the race for the Gagarin Cup this season. The hosts have lost five of their last seven games, which has understandably left them outside the top eight in the East. Compared to their rivals, Salavat Yulaev doesn't appear to be a frontrunner in this race. The team has only scored 94 goals so far. Their struggles with converting chances have been ongoing for months. While their defense is relatively solid, conceding 102 goals, it hasn't been enough to turn things around. The team needs to improve urgently and significantly.

Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
The club from Khabarovsk has been on the rise lately, securing three wins in their last four matches. While it's not a full-fledged breakthrough in the standings, they have managed to maintain their position in the Eastern Conference's playoff zone and are looking ahead with growing optimism. However, their scoring remains a significant issue. With only 85 goals scored, they struggle to compete on equal terms with the favorites. They will need to rely on resilience and determination to collect points. In this regard, Alexander Andrievsky's squad leaves no room for doubt.

🥅 Goalies
Salavat Yulaev's goaltender Semyon Vyazovoy continues to deliver impressive performances. The homegrown talent boasts a save percentage of 92.5% and has recorded one shutout. The team's struggles are certainly not due to issues in net.
Amur's goaltender Maxim Dorozhko remains one of the top players at his position in the league. The former Vityaz player averages a 92.9% save rate and has already achieved four shutouts. Crucially, he manages to avoid prolonged slumps in form.
Editorial Prediction
The hosts are struggling to impress, plagued by constant defensive errors and a lack of resilience, making them vulnerable opponents. Meanwhile, the visitors may not boast season-long stability, but they've recently found their rhythm, significantly impacting their match outcomes. In fact, in 7 of Amur's last 8 away games, at least six goals have been scored. We believe this trend will continue. Our bet is on total over 5.5 goals.No comments
