Severstal Cherepovets

Current form
Severstal started the season with a series of away games. Andrey Kozyrev's team played in Nizhny Novgorod and achieved success in the game against the local Torpedo (3:0). The Cherepovets team extended their winning streak in Nagorny to four games in a row.
In the match against the " deer ", Daniil Aymurzin opened the scoring in the third minute and put the guests ahead. The club from the Vologda region was often sent off and at the beginning of the second period of the match received a penalty shot into its own goal. Aleksandr Samoilov showed himself from the best side, he parried the penalty shot and did not miss a single goal during the entire match. The same Aymurzin punished the opponent at the equator of regular time and doubled the advantage of the "steelworkers" , and already at the very end of it, Aleksey Kruchinin put the final point, throwing into the empty goal.
Interesting trends for betting
- Alexander Samoilov stopped all 29 shots on goal and recorded his first shutout of the season
The 27-year-old goalkeeper can firmly secure his status as the team's number one goalie and leave Konstantin Shostak as a backup.
- Severstal earned six penalties in the first match of the season
The Cherepovets team gave their opponents many opportunities to score, but showed great performance in defense.
Estimated composition
Samoilov, Shostak, Dyblenko, Kaldis, Fomin, Barberio, Marin, Davydov, Podshivalov, Churkin, Davydov, Kruchinin, Mukhanov, Pilipenko, Aymurzin, Ilyin, Lishka, Abrosimov, Korostelev, Skorenov, Ivantsov, Stepanov
Trends
Bet 1st period: Severstal will not lose
Severstal have not lost in the first period to Dynamo in their last four games
1.57Bet 2nd period: Dynamo win with Asian handicap (0)
Dynamo have won in the second period in their last three matches
1.50Tip and bets
Dynamo has been playing poorly in defense at the start of the season. The " white-blues " had problems in the preseason, and it is not yet clear whether the new goalkeeper Hunter Miska is any good. Severstal plays in attack, and the matches involving the Cherepovets team in August were extremely productive. In Nizhny Novgorod , Andrey Kozyrev's team allowed the Torpedo players a lot, but they themselves could not realize their chances. Considering the strength of the hosts ' attack, we suggest playing the total over here. In such a match, despite the personal meetings, there should be at least five accurate shots.
Our prediction is total over 4.5 goals for 1.62
Bet on the outcome
The Muscovites did not demonstrate a strong game in defense and did not look their best in front. Severstal, on the other hand, prepared well for the season and should give the favorite a fight on its ice. In this pair, we suggest taking a plus handicap on the Cherepovets team.
Betting Tip - Severstal win with Asian handicap (+1) for 1.77
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Severstal plays well in the first 20 minutes of matches against Moscow Dynamo . In the last three head-to-head matches, the black-and- yellows have not lost or even won. We do not expect a rout of the guests in the first third of the meeting now either.
Betting Tip - Severstal will not lose in the first period for 1.57
