Salavat Yulaev will compete for points with Kazakhstan Barys in away match: predictions

UFA, 25 December 2017. /Bashinform News Agency, Natalia Ovcharuk/. The failures of the Kazakhstan KHL club continue. The HC Barys (Astana) is rapidly falling down the standings of the Eastern Conference and takes now the eighth line. Although in the first half of the regular season the team was in the lead. In the last three games Barys scored points only in the match with HC Slovan (2: 0), and after that they were defeated by the Moscow Dynamo (3: 5) and Neftekhimik (Nizhnekamsk) (0: 4).

The HC Salavat Yulaev spent the last away series not very well in 2017. At first there were lost matches to Sochi and Ak Bars with the same score (1: 2), and then a strong-willed victory over Sibir (6: 3).

Hockey experts claim that today the defense of Barys leaves much to be desired. Recently Salavat Yulaev, too, makes many mistakes in the defense. Given these facts, bookmakers are waiting for many goals in this match.

The match Barys (Astana) - Salavat Yulaev (Ufa) begins at 18.30, Ufa time.
