"Ural" - "Chaika": betting tip for the First League match
On August 18, Ural will meet Peschanokopsk's Chaika at the Yekaterinburg Arena in the sixth round of the First League. Last week, the guests became the main team for discussion among journalists and football critics. Changes on the coaching bridge, as well as rumors about possible transfers of several players to Voronezh's Fakel. How will Peschanokopsk look now under the leadership of Evgeny Kaleshin?

Command Analysis

Ural

Current form
In the last round, Ural beat Ufa (2:0). Head coach Evgeny Averyanov suggested that the opponent play first number, but at the same time emphasized counterattacks. This trick worked twice, and the Ufa team, possessing the ball, was unable to create anything dangerous near the opponent's goal. The club's coach concluded from the matches with Chornomorets and Sokol that it is not always necessary to act on your own behalf to win. At home, the "bumblebees" scored seven out of nine points, and now they will try to inflict their first defeat of the season on Peschanokoptsy.
It is impossible not to mention Alexey Ionov. He has extensive experience playing for a variety of RPL teams, including more than 30 matches for the Russian national team. In the last round, he helped the "orange-blacks" beat Ufa away, scoring the second goal.
The team is in second place in the league table, has 10 points and is three points behind the first team, Arsenal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ural will not be helped by club legend Eric Bikfalvi. For now, the Bumblebees have to cope without him, but the 36-year-old midfielder will definitely strengthen the Yekaterinburg team after his recovery.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club has not lost in 9 of its last 12 official matches (five wins and four draws).
- In 12 of the previous 14 home matches at the official level, the Yekaterinburg team conceded at least one goal.
- The number "2" was in the final score in seven of Ural's last eight official games
Estimated lineup : Mamin; Beveev, Filipenko, Italo, Goglichidze; Ayupov - Ishkov, Egorychev, Mishkich, Zheleznov; Voronov

Chayka

Current form
Very unpleasant news for Chaika fans was the departure of Dmitry Pyatibratov to Voronezh Fakel, and Evgeny Kaleshin was appointed as the new coach. The name of this coach is associated with the recent successful performances of the Peschanokoptsy. The team should not fall apart, but for the players such an event will not pass unnoticed and it is unlikely that the club is in a rosy mood now.
There are also rumors that Svyatoslav Kozhedub may follow his former coach into the camp of the "fire-hazardous". I would really not like the team from the village to fall apart. We know for sure that the club deserved at least the audience sympathy award.
The team beat Rodina by two goals in the previous round, but could not maintain the advantage (2:2). Nevertheless, Chaika's unbeaten streak in the First League has reached five matches (two wins, three draws). The team is in fourth place in the tournament table, four points behind the leader and only one behind its opponent.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in four of the last five matches between Peschanokoptsy in the First League.
- The team has failed to win in 10 of its last 14 away games (five draws and losses).
- Chaika have failed to score more than one goal in seven of their previous eight away games in this tournament.
Estimated lineup : Shtepa; Nikolaev, Nesterov, Karmaev, Pivovarov; Yanov, Zarypbekov; Kozhedub, Khokhlachev, Bammatgereev; Biblik

1.75Tip and bets
Bookmakers underestimate Chaika, apparently due to the change of head coach. We believe that the "white-blues" will try to develop their success with Evgeny Kaleshin, because he is also a fairly competent and experienced specialist. The Peschanokoptsy themselves are extremely motivated and are ready to fight with any opponent. Let us recall that the guests have no defeats, and Ural has only won twice with a difference of more than one goal.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (+1.5) for "Chaika" with odds of 1.67
Betting on Team Goals
We also expect to see a productive match. In the trends, we already pointed out a good option with a goal from Chaika, and the hosts will not leave the field without a goal. The Ural players pose a danger to the Peschanokoptsy goal and will have to upset the opponent's goalkeeper at least once
Prediction - both teams to score with odds of 2.50
Bet on total
Goals are fairly easy for the teams. Chaika scores two goals per match on average, and Ural, one might say, the same. We assume that this meeting will be held with a large number of scoring opportunities, because both teams need points, but they cannot lose. We suggest betting on the total over.
Betting Tip - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.75
