Vityaz vs Metallurg Magnitogorsk Prediction and Betting Tips (15.08.2024)

Command Analysis

Vityaz

Russian Federation

Current form

Oddly enough, after such a disastrous performance last season, Vityaz did not seriously change the roster and made do with only a few adjustments. Indeed, the club finished last year in the last place in the Western Conference table, which was primarily due to the attacking line and low attack performance. Of the players who arrived, only promising forward Dmitry Buchelnikov is worth noting, and otherwise the team was practically not strengthened.

The Podolsk team has already tried its luck in a friendly match with Admiral, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 4:7. It is too early to draw conclusions about the team's form, but there is an assumption that the «bogatyrs» will not show significant improvements in the new season.

Metallurg Magnitogorsk

Russian Federation

Current form

Last season for Metallurg turned out to be one of the most successful in the club's entire career. The team showed great play throughout the regular championship, thanks to which it entered the playoffs from the first line in the table, and after that it took the Gagarin Cup for the third time.

It is quite expected that after such a successful season the team remained practically in the same composition. It is worth noting only the players who left the club, namely forwards Nikita Grebenkin and Maxim Karpov. The promising Danil Bashkirov and the already experienced Scott Willson will try to replace them.

Tip and bets

1.76handicap (-1.5) on Metallurg

Metallurg is a clear favorite in the upcoming match for several reasons. Firstly, the team is head and shoulders above its opponent, which it demonstrated throughout the past year. Secondly, it is worth considering the clubs' not very active transfer policy, which indicates a weak change in the lineups, which plays into the hands of the current Gagarin Cup holder. We believe that Magnitogorsk will take full advantage of their advantage and win an easy victory over Podolsk.

Our prediction is Metallurg's victory with a handicap of (-1.5) pucks for 1.76

Metallurg prefers open attacking hockey and quite often pleases fans with a large number of goals scored. Vityaz does not have a reliable defensive line, which means it will have to play on the opposite courses.

As we have already noted, Metallurg looks much stronger than its competitor, which it will try to take advantage of, creating serious pressure on Vityaz already in the first period.
