Metallurg Magnitogorsk vs Severstal Cherepovets Prediction and Betting Tips (19.08.2024)

Command Analysis

Metallurg Magnitogorsk

Russian Federation

Current form

Metallurg did not start the pre-season training in the best way. In the first two matches, the team was unable to cope with Vityaz (4:6) and Avtomobilist (2:4). As you can see, the main reason for the defeats was the weak play in defense, the «foxes» allowed their competitors to realize themselves in the attack time after time. The team was able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans in the second match of the Bashkortostan Republic Cup, winning a hard-fought victory over Neftekhimik with a score of 2:1. This time, Podskrebalin played in goal, and he played much better than his teammates.

Severstal began their preparation for the season with a tournament in Ufa. In their first match, they met Salavat Yulaev and won a confident 1:0 victory. Not only the defenders played well, but also goalkeeper Samoilov, who blocked all shots at his goal.

Then the Cherepovets team met a stronger opponent, Avtomobilist. The match was tense, and Severstal lost by one goal — 3:4. The main reason for the defeat was poor play in the minority: the team conceded two goals after deletions.

Tip and bets

2.09Metallurg's victory

Both teams avoided major changes in the lineup during the off-season and are likely to remain at about the same level in the upcoming season. Pre-season training for the team is ambiguous, because the clubs are not playing with their first lineups, experimenting with players and giving young players a chance to prove themselves. Still, it is worth considering that Magnitogorsk is superior to its competitor in many parameters, due to which they should win in regular time, and we suggest not to take risks and make a confident bet in favor of the favorite.

Our prediction is Metallurg's victory at 2.09
