LiontipsSeverstal - Kunlun. Betting Tip and bets on the match of the tournament in memory of N. Puchkov
Command Analysis
Current form
Severstal showed excellent results in the Bashkortostan Republic Cup, winning the tournament. The Cherepovets team managed to win three times, including against serious opponents such as Salavat Yulaev, Neftekhimik and Metallurg. This result was achieved mainly due to the preservation of the team's core.
It seemed that the «steelworkers» were capable of continuing to give a serious rebuff to the favorites, but in the match with «Ak Bars» they had to suffer a defeat with a score of 0:3.
Interesting trends for betting
- Severstal blocks at least 12 shots per game on average
- Last season, Cherepovets scored an average of three goals 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
Current form
Initially, it might have seemed that Kunlun was in excellent shape at the start of pre-season training, as the team first gave a decent fight to Ak Bars, losing by one goal (3:4), and then crushed Moscow Spartak (4:1).
However, Mikhail Kravets' charges were unable to continue to perform in the same spirit and began to show themselves in a less than ideal manner, as evidenced by two defeats to Lokomotiv (1:4) and Ak Bars (0:1). It seems that the problem with the attacking line has not gone away and will continue to cause problems throughout the season.
Interesting trends for betting
- Kunlun scored an average of 2.33 goals per game last season
- Kunlun averaged 26 shots per game, one of the worst in the league.
Estimated composition
Volkov, Keizer, Jurusik, Smith, Sharychenkov, Wood, Merkley, Ottenbreit, Somerby, Chelios, Clendeling, Lefebvre, McCoshen, Pautow, O'Regan, Wilkie, Helbgewachs, Chartier, Elinuk, Yurcho, Vaughan O., Vaughan T., Traovac, Yip, Campbell, Lockhart, Moyle, Fu P., Fu S.

2.18Tip and bets
So far, Severstal has been showing itself much better than Kunlun in the preseason and has consistently not only created serious problems for the favorites, but confidently beaten them. Kunlun cannot boast of such results, mainly due to serious changes in the roster and poor teamwork. It is for this reason that we suggest making a confident bet in favor of the Cherepovets team.
Our prediction is Severstal's victory at 1.65
Bet on total
Kunlun continues to have problems in defense, allowing their opponents to realize their attacking potential time after time. Severstal prefers attacking hockey, which means that we should again expect a large number of goals scored.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.97
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Severstal performs well at the start of the match and quite often earns an advantage in the first half, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Severstal win in the first period for 2.26
