Forecasts for KHL playoff series first game Metallurg-Salavat Yulaev

UFA, 25 February 2019. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.
On February 25, two clubs of the Eastern Conference of the KHL - Metallurg and Salavat Yulaev start competing for the Gagarin Cup. The first two matches of the playoff series between the Metallurg and Salavat Yulaev will be held in Magnitogorsk.
In today's game, the bookmakers consider the home team as their favorite: victories over the most important rival - Ak Bars and a perfectly co-ordinated powerplay team (26.9% power-play success rate - second place in the league).
HC Salavat Yulaev after the regular championship is among top ten KHL teams by all parameters. However, hockey experts believe that for the most part of the season, Nikolay Tsulygin’s players played with an emphasis on defense.
The beginning of the first standoff in Magnitogorsk between Metallurg and Salavat Yulaev is at 7 p.m. The live broadcast will be available on the BST channel.
