Command Analysis

Neftekhimik

Current form
Neftekhimik played the opening match in a good rhythm and confidently beat Avto. However, it should be taken into account that the opponent played that match in a less than optimal lineup. Already in the next match with Salavat, being the favorite, Nizhnekamsk unexpectedly lost with a score of 2:4, and then Ufa also played with the second lineup. This did not help the Wolves at all. Oleg Leontyev decided to try new combinations of players, which did not work out in the best way. It is quite possible that in the upcoming match the head coach will experiment and make adjustments to the lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Neftekhimik is sent off no more than three times per match
- According to statistics, Nizhnekamsk players make at least 25 shots

Ural

Current form
Metallurg, despite the friendly status of the tournament, is one of the main favorites, so it wants to win. The team played its first match in the championship more or less in an optimal lineup, but, strangely enough, it could not cope with Avtomobilist - 2:4. The "foxes" had two chances to score in the majority in that match, but they did not use either of them. But Razin's team scored a goal in the 4x5 format. It is worth remembering that many key players are currently in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, forward Nikita Mikhailis scores 0.95 points per game
- According to statistics, the "foxes" violate the rules at least three times per game

1.40Tip and bets
Metallurg, all things being equal, is of course stronger than its counterpart. The Foxes had a poor first match and have not yet managed to get into the rhythm of the game. They will play the second match with approximately the same lineup, so the interaction between the players will be much better. Neftekhimik continues to play with various combinations and because of this cannot build a clear game plan. Based on this, we suggest betting on the Foxes' success.
Prediction - Metallurg win for 1.80
Bet on total
Previous meetings between the clubs were highly productive and often had at least six goals scored. The Foxes have a powerful attack line, and Neftekhimik will definitely not sit back in defense. We expect an active game from both clubs and suggest betting on the total over.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.80
