"Ak Bars" - "Severstal": betting tip for the match of the Puchkov tournament
Ak Bars will play Severstal as part of the Puchkov tournament on August 23. The Kazan team won the last match and, of course, are favorites in the confrontation with Cherepovets. However, previous matches ended in favor of the steelmakers, and the Greens' roster has been significantly weakened compared to last season. Will this help Andrey Kozyrev's team give a worthy rebuff to their opponent, or maybe even fight for victory? You will find out in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars parted ways with many of its leaders during the off-season and now looks significantly weaker than last year. It is quite possible that the team will have serious problems with scoring. By the way, in the last match with Kunlun, Kazan scored only one goal, but won with a score of 1:0.
However, they still played poorly in defense, as they allowed their opponents to make 37 shots on target, and also allowed 2-on-1 breakouts on more than one occasion. Fortunately, Amir Miftakhov played well in that match, and was at his best.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ak Bars scores most in the second period
- On average, Kazan wins 55.5% of faceoffs
Estimated composition
Miftakhov, Bilyalov, Yudin, Miller, Lyamkin, Yarullin, Zhuravlev, Marchenko, Barabanov, Petan, Yashkin, Korshkov, Semenov, Koshelev, Safonov, Galimov, Terekhov, Dynyak, Katelevsky, Babenko
Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal has retained the core of its team, so it can cause serious problems for many opponents in the upcoming season. At the recent Bashkortostan Republic Cup, the team also showed itself very well and managed to win three victories.
After losing to Avtomobilist (3:4), Cherepovets dealt with Neftekhimik (2:1) and also confidently beat Metallurg (6:2), even though the latter played with its second team. Despite the fact that the club does not have very bright forwards in the team, it still shows decent results and makes excellent use of its moments.
Interesting trends for betting
- Severstal blocks at least 12 shots per game on average
- Cherepovets players make about 28-29 shots on target per match
Estimated composition
Shostak, Shugaev, Kaldis, Ivanov, Ershov, Barberio, Churkin, Formin, Ivantsov, Davydov, Nikitin, Abrosimov, Lishka, Skorenov, Aymurzin, Podshivalov, P'yanov, Stepanov, Kruchinin, Pilipenko
Trends

In two out of three meetings involving Cherepovets, the first period was productive
1.85Bet 3rd period: Cherepovets will score
In the last three meetings, Cherepovets scored in the third period
1.67Tip and bets
Ak Bars did not play their best in the last match against Kunlun. In the match against a weaker opponent, Kazan did not look like a team capable of achieving a major victory. Severstal, on the other hand, showed a meaningful game in previous matches and achieved many victories in the last tournament. In addition, previous matches between the clubs often went in favor of the steelworkers. Based on this, we suggest betting on their success.
Prediction - Severstal wins the match for 2.20
Bet on total
Previous matches between the teams were not particularly productive. Ak Bars, apparently, continues to have problems with converting chances, and is also left without a number of attack leaders. Severstal also does not open up in matches with such opponents, so it makes sense to take the total under.
We take the total under 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.80
