Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk vs Salavat Yulaev Ufa Prediction and Betting Tips (30.08.2024)

Command Analysis

Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk

Russian Federation

Current form

The start of pre-season training for Neftekhimik was not easy. After a victory over Avtomobilist in the first match, a series of three defeats in a row followed. The Wolves managed to break the losing streak in a match with a club from the VHL, beating Magnitka with a score of 2:1.

Then Nizhnekamsk again had to meet Magnitogorsk, only much more seriously, in the person of Metallurg. Leontyev's charges immediately yielded the initiative to the clear favorite, mainly due to a large number of penalties, and as a result, the meeting ended early, as the head coach of the «foxes» led the team off the ice, after a hard power move by Roman Abrosimov, for which no punishment followed.

Salavat Yulaev Ufa

Russian Federation

Current form

In the preseason, Salavat Yulaev decided to immediately prepare its main players for the upcoming regular championship and played in almost all matches with the first team, thanks to which it repeatedly achieved the desired result. In six matches, the «greens» suffered only two defeats, both in a tough fight, losing to Severstal (0:1) and Metallurg (2:3).

However, the reserve players also got playing time in the match with the VHL club Magnitka. Due to the change in the lineup, the Ufa team had problems throughout the match, but in the end they were able to snatch victory in a shootout (2:3).

Tip and bets

2.01Salavat Yulaev's victory

The head coach of Neftekhimik after the match with Metallurg said that the team in such tournaments should play with the first team, which means that in the upcoming match we should again expect the best players from Nizhnekamsk. Salavat Yulaev will also not stand aside and will try to show all its potential, which it counts on in the new season. So far, the main team of the «greens» looks much stronger than their competitor, and the players have already managed to warm up after a long break. It is for this reason that we suggest not to take risks and make a confident bet in favor of Salavat. We must not forget the last face-to-face match, in which the «greens» won a confident victory.

Our prediction is a victory for Salavat Yulaev for 2.01

2.09total under 5.5 goals

Bet on total

Neftekhimik cannot boast of high performance in pre-season training yet, but it itself misses few goals. In the upcoming match, the Wolves will try to play reliably again, because if they give Salavat space, there will be no chance of success, as was the case in the last face-to-face match.

Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals for 2.09

Bet on the outcome of the first period

«Neftekhimik» often gives a worthy rebuff to opponents in the first period and does not allow them to gain an advantage. We believe that in the upcoming match «wolves» will again be able to impose a fight at the start of the meeting.

Betting Tip - Neftekhimik will not lose in the first period for 1.45
