Avtomobilist vs. Traktor: KHL match betting tip
On September 4, we are expecting the Ural derby, in which Avtomobilist will face Traktor. The Yekaterinburg team has been mediocre in most of its recent face-to-face meetings with Chelyabinsk and has often lost. In addition, Zavaruhin's team has not performed well in friendly matches during the pre-season, so it will be interesting to see how they play at home. Traktor, in turn, looked very good in friendly matches, and was able to strengthen a little in the off-season. What bet should you place on this match? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist decided to keep the core of the team, but at the same time part with Alexey Makeyev and Sergey Shirokov, who were very useful in attack. However, we should not forget that Brendan Leipsic and Nick Merkley came to the club, so Avto, one might say, came out on top from these transfers. True, Nikolay Zavarukhin's team looked pale in the preseason and played many matches unsuccessfully.
To be fair, it should be noted that the club played some games with a less than optimal lineup. Although in the last meeting with Vityaz in the Moscow Mayor's Cup, the Yekaterinburg team had almost all of its main players on the court, the result was negative - 2:5.
Interesting trends for betting
- Avtomobilist blocks an average of 15 shots per game
The Yekaterinburg players play tight hockey and have large defenders, so they catch a lot of shots
- Avtomobilist has 19.4% of the majority sales
Last season, the Yekaterinburg team's power play wasn't particularly successful, and in friendly matches they averaged one attempt out of five.
Estimated composition
Galkin, Alikin, Zborovsky, Osipov, Gamzakov, Sevostyanov, Zhuravlev, Tryamkin, Vorobyov, Ebert, Merkley, Valk, Denezhkin, Byvaltsev, Golyshev, Leipsic, Meisek, Khripunov, Obidin, Kashtanov, Romantsev
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor, on the contrary, was not entirely satisfied with the results of the previous season, so there were many changes in its roster. The goalkeeper line remained practically untouched, but the attack changed. Let us recall that the Chelyabinsk team managed to get Alexander Kadeikin and Andrey Svetlakov. In friendly matches, the Bears looked more or less good, but they did not play with the most formidable opponents.
For example, they beat Yugra (3:0), but in the final match with Amur they lost with a score of 2:5. It is also worth recalling that a Canadian specialist, Benoit Groux, was appointed head coach, so the club's management probably has very serious intentions for this season.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Traktor scored at least three goals during the preseason
Under Gru's leadership, the team strives to play active and sharp hockey, creating dangerous moments on a regular basis.
- The Bears ranked ninth in first-period play last season.
Traktor tries to start its matches actively and score a quick goal, so in three out of five matches it scored in this period
Estimated composition
Sukhachev, Fukale, Dronov, Nikolaev, Ibragimov, Kämpfer, Telegin, Blazhievsky, Karpukhin, Popov, Sikura, Sharov, Rykmanov, Shabanov, Kotlyarevsky, Tkachev, Kravtsov, Kadeikin, Svetlakov, Tertyshny, Robinson, Zharkov
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive.
2.20Bet 2nd period: victory of “Traktor”
In three out of five matches, the Chelyabinsk team achieved success in the second period
3.00Tip and bets
Traktor is again considered a slight underdog in the matchup, since Avtomobilist is playing at home. However, in terms of roster, things are currently better for the Chelyabinsk team, and they looked better than their counterpart in the preseason. In addition, the Bears' style of play may prove very inconvenient for the Yekaterinburg team. Benoit Groux's team has significantly improved in the implementation of moments, while Avto's affairs in this regard are mediocre.
Prediction - Traktor win with handicap (0) for 2.15
Bet on total
We expect to see at least five goals scored in this game. Usually, derbies between clubs are very hot and take place in a colorful struggle. Traktor has slightly changed its approach to hockey compared to last season and has become more active on counter courses, so it makes sense to bet on the total over.
We take the total over 4.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on individual total
During the preseason, Chelyabinsk players often scored at least three goals. The club strengthened its attack line in the offseason and made a number of good transfers, acquiring strong and skilled players. Note that Avtomobilist has conceded at least three times in the last three out of four matches.
We bet on Traktor's individual total over 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.20
