Command Analysis

Traktor

Current form
So far, Traktor has been tearing things up in pre-season training, confidently beating almost any opponents on their way. In five games, serious problems arose only with Lokomotiv, as the Chelyabinsk team decided to play openly, allowing the Yaroslavl team to realize their potential in attack, which they paid for, losing in a shootout 4:5.
The Bears have already managed to fully rehabilitate themselves before the fans, first beating Sibir dry (3:0), and then easily defeating Barys (4:2). The strengthening of Traktor's defense in the off-season is already bearing fruit; the team has conceded only nine goals in five matches.
Interesting trends for betting
- Traktor scores an average of four goals per game in the preseason
- Traktor concedes an average of 1.8 goals per match
Estimated composition
Mylnikov, Dronov, Kempfer, Karpukhin, Telegin, Blazhievsky, Ibragimov, Shabanov, Tkachev, Sikura, Kravtsov, Der-Argunchintsev, Svetlakov, Yurtaikin, Robinson, Kadeikin, Zharkov, Popov, Kotlyarevski, Kadeikie, Tertyshev

Lada Togliatti

Current form
So far, Lada has not met with serious opponents in the pre-season, but it is worth noting that the team confidently copes with competitors and goes without a single defeat. Togliatti twice won over the national team of Kazakhstan with a score of 7:1 and 2:1, respectively. The club was also able to beat Amur (5:3) and snatch victory from Barys in overtime (4:3), thereby becoming the owner of the Cup of the President of Kazakhstan.
It is worth noting that in the offseason the coaching staff made a serious bet on the defensive line, signing six defenders, although so far the reinforcement has not shown itself to be effective, and the club achieves success mainly due to the attacking line.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada averaged 25 shots on target last season, the worst in the league
- Lada has only 13% of the majority sales
Injuries and disqualifications
Ivan Romanov (injury)

1.53Tip and bets
Both teams are already playing with their first teams, so the upcoming match is expected to be a very serious fight, which bookmakers do not agree with. They give too high a coefficient for Lada to win, although last season the Togliatti team consistently forced the fight on the Bears and won half of the matches. Indeed, so far the Chelyabinsk team does not look a cut above its competitor, which means there is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the unreasonably high coefficient and bet in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is a Lada victory with a handicap of (+1.5) goals at 1.71
Bet on total
Both teams focused on strengthening their defense during the offseason. However, Lada is still unable to provide reliable defense, so the team continues to rely on attack. Traktor will likely strive to prove itself at the home tournament. This means that fans can expect spectacular and productive hockey.
Betting Tip - total over five goals for 1.60
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Traktor must take advantage of the home advantage and start the match with serious pressure on Lada, thanks to which they are quite capable of earning an advantage at the end of the first twenty minutes.
Prediction - Traktor wins in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.50
