LiontipsAvtomobilist - Neftekhimik. Betting Tip and bets on the match of the Cup of the Republic of Bashkortostan on August 15, 2024
Command Analysis
Current form
Avtomobilst did not show the best hockey during the regular championship and was far from the leader in the East, but still easily got a ticket to the playoffs, where they showed themselves in all their glory. The Yekaterinburg team managed to reach the semifinals, where they met the future winner of the Gagarin Cup, in the person of Metallurg, and suffered an offensive defeat in the decisive match with a difference of only one puck.
It was quite predictable that «Auto» would try to remain without serious changes in the lineup, keeping almost all the players. Of the additions, it is worth noting only the former forward of Minsk «Dynamo», in the person of Nick Merkley.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Avtomobilist receives seven minutes of penalty time per match
- Avtomobilist on average realizes every fifth majority
Estimated composition
Galkin, Blaker, Tryamkin, Obidin, Byvaltsev, Khripunov, Osipov, Vorobyov, Meisek, Volk, Zborovsky, Golyshev, Da Costa, Ebert, Trofimov, Denezhkin, Romantsev, Kashtanov, Kashnikov, Leipsic, Merkley
Current form
Neftekhimik fought for a playoff spot throughout the entire last season, but due to long slumps and a large number of lost points, the team still had to miss out on the cup. Remarkably, the team was literally one win short of its main goal.
The main problem of Nizhnekamsk was a very weak game in defense, which the club tried to fix through transfers. Two Avangard defenders joined the «wolves» in the persons of Kiselevich Bogdan and Abrosimov Roman. The attack line rather lost more than gained, since two outstanding scorers left the team at once, such as Nail Yakupov and Nikita Setdikov.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Neftekhimik concedes three goals per match
- On average, Neftekhimik makes 28 shots on target per match
Estimated composition
Dolganov, Khlystov, Dergachev, Belozerov, Kovalev, Serikov, Mityakin, Seleznev, Sokolov, Zhukenov, Korbit, Gainullin, Urakov, Tochilkin, Abrosivom, Kiselevich, Leontyev, Sharif'yanov, Leshchenko

In four out of six head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score more than one goal in the second period.
2.09Tip and bets
Last year, Neftekhimik looked rather poor, mainly due to the defensive line, which they managed to fix a little. But the Wolves also showed a weak game in attack, and the club did not fight with this during the off-season. Avtomobilist still remains one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference, which it fully justified in the Gagarin Cup. The Yekaterinburg team retained the main core of the team, which means it will again have serious strength both in the preseason and in the regular championship. It is for these reasons that we suggest making a confident bet in favor of the clear favorite.
Our prediction is Avtomobilist's victory at 1.77
Bet on total
Neftekhimik will clearly try to improve their defensive play and from the very first matches will play mostly neat, sticky hockey, so you shouldn’t expect a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match.
Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals for 1.65
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Avtomobilist is quite superior to its opponent, due to which it has every chance to start dominating from the first minutes, which, in turn, will allow the Yekaterinburg team to earn an advantage in the starting segment.
Betting Tip - Avtomobilist win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.53
