Command Analysis
Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal began its journey at the tournament in St. Petersburg with a crushing defeat to Ak Bars (0:3), despite the fact that the steelmakers had a huge number of scoring chances during the match. The club from Cherepovets was given one day to rest and after the break did not leave a single chance to the Chinese Kunlun (7:3).
Andrey Kozyrev's charges are not performing well in defense at the Puchkov Memorial Tournament. In two matches, the team from the Vologda Region has conceded as many as six times.

HC Sochi
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Sochi team started the tournament with an unpleasant defeat to the youth team, which was obviously considered the weakest team in the tournament. Sergei Zubov's team made the right conclusions after the first game and played well against SKA the next day (0:1, after a shootout).
The Southerners opened the scoring against the Army Men and held the defense throughout the match. The hero of the game was Sergei Ivanov, who blocked 68 shots into his possessions and brought Sochi its first point.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sochi take 27 shots per game
- The Southerners are blocking 14 shots per game on average.
Estimated composition
Ivanov, Krasikov, Koryagin, Graham, Volkov, Fedotov, Machulin, Trishin, Kroschinsky, Baklashev, Popov, Christoph, Chebykin, Tyanulin, Garaev, Timashev, Khafizov, Rasskazov, Fedotov, Avramenko, Nikonov, Kuznetsov.

2.02Tip and bets
Severstal showed itself well at the tournament in Ufa and deservedly took the main trophy. In St. Petersburg, Andrey Kozyrev's charges were unable to show the necessary implementation in the match against Ak Bars , although they played no worse than their opponent, but then easily crushed Kunlun . Sochi lost even to a youth team that was weak by the tournament standards and somehow miraculously survived against SKA. We believe that in this match, the Cherepovets team will take two points in regular time.
Our prediction is a victory for Severstal at 1.73
Bet on total
Severstal conceded six goals in the first two games, but looked very good on the opponent's half of the ice. Sochi traditionally concedes a lot, but it will be easier to break through the defense of the club from the Vologda Region than to score in the SKA goal. We expect at least six accurate shots between the teams.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.60
