Head-to-head statistics Lada - Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Lada Team Overview
Lada’s opening game at the Romazan Memorial was a far cry from their clash with Amur in Ufa. This time, the Togliatti side played with much more composure and discipline. After a goalless first period, Pavel Kudryavtsev put Lada ahead. Amur responded on the power play to level the score, but Rasim Shakirov restored Lada’s lead. In the dying moments, Ben King sealed the victory with an empty-netter. A 3-1 win marks a strong start to the tournament.
Meanwhile, the club continues to shape its roster ahead of the league campaign. Yevgeny Groshev and Dmitry Lineytsev have been sent to VHL teams for more ice time, while Lada previously parted ways with Pavel Gogolev. At the same time, several players are making the most of their opportunities-Rasim Shakirov, for example, scored again and remains one of the standout performers for Lada this preseason.

Salavat Yulaev Ufa Team Overview
Ufa opened their tournament campaign with a 4-2 win over Traktor. The first period was evenly contested for much of the frame, but Sheldon Rempal broke the deadlock just before the break. Salavat then took the lead twice, and although their opponents managed to level the score early in the third, Denis Orlovich-Grudkov quickly restored the advantage. Devin Brosseau sealed the result, netting his second of the night into an empty net.
Ahead of the tournament, the club bolstered their attack by signing 23-year-old Canadian forward Matthew Maggio, previously part of the New York Islanders system. Additionally, Belarusian forward Vasily Filyaev had his tryout contract extended through the end of August. The coaching staff are still weighing up their roster options, but the offensive unit already looks assured. Against Traktor, the team consistently created dangerous chances and capitalized on four of them.

⭐️ Editorial Prediction
The last head-to-head clash is still fresh in the minds of both teams, but much has changed since then. Lada have played several more games, tightened up defensively without the puck, and made a confident start to the tournament in Magnitogorsk. Salavat Yulaev are also showing steady improvement. Their victory over Traktor highlighted that the team are starting to rediscover their rhythm, with their attacking leaders increasingly making the difference.
There’s another point worth noting. Throughout the preseason, Salavat have consistently created chances in front of goal and their performance against Traktor reaffirmed their ability to capitalize on those opportunities. Meanwhile, even in their wins, Lada tend to allow opponents dangerous spells near their net. Given this, backing Salavat Yulaev’s individual total over 2.5 goals stands out as the most appealing option.
