LiontipsVityaz - Lada. Betting Tip and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Vityaz has played all of its matches in the new season at home, where it has had mixed success. After a less than successful start and a defeat to Admiral (2:3), the team doubled its points, first beating Amur dry, and then snatching victory from Sochi (5:4). In the match with the Leopards, Pavel Desyatkov's charges earned a huge advantage in the first period, but almost allowed their opponent to tie the score due to poor defensive play, which was the club's main problem last season.
Then the "bogatyrs" played against a more serious opponent, in the person of Minsk "Dynamo", and again were unable to stop the opponent's pressure, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Dorozhko did not play at his best, and he had to be replaced in the first period, after three goals were missed. Initially, it seemed that "Vityaz" was able to seriously work on defense and would stop letting in a huge number of goals from match to match, but it seems that expectations were not met.
Injuries and disqualifications
Vashchenko (injury), Stewart (injury), Galuzin (injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Vityaz concedes an average of three goals per match.
At the beginning of the season, Vityaz consistently held off the opponent's pressure, but now the team is completely unable to cope with the opponent's attack, allowing them to make effective shots at their goal time after time.
- In the match with Dynamo, the Podolsk team was sent off nine times
Vityaz has stopped playing reliable and accurate hockey and now consistently violates the rules, which is breaking the structure of the club's game.
Estimated composition
Shikin, Dorozhko, Golovkov, Busygin, Valentsov, Malorosiyanov, Stewart, Voronkov, Vasiliev, Roy, Galuzin, Yarovoy, Zubov, Savchik, Gautier, Buchelnikov, Chivilev, Daryin, Baptist, Vorobiev, Tsitsyura, Arkalov, Morozov, Detkov.
Current form
Lada showed a good game in the preseason and consistently beat outsiders, but the team still failed to start the regular season successfully. In the first match, the team had to face the finalist of the Gagarin Cup, Lokomotiv, and suffered a dry defeat with a score of 0:3. Indeed, the attacking line could not show itself at all, making only 20 shots on target. Then the Togliatti team played with another leader of the league, SKA, and again lost to the clear favorite (1:3). However, this time the club played much more aggressively and seriously outshot its competitor.
The Avtozavodtsy were able to realize their attack in the match with Moscow Dynamo, defeating the White-Blues with a score of 6:3. After the first period, Lada had a two-goal advantage, which they only strengthened throughout the match. Defender Berezina demonstrated a magnificent game and scored three points, which is 15% of his scoring performance last season.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada concedes an average of three goals per match
So far, Lada's defense leaves much to be desired, which is why they had to lose points in the first two matches.
- Lada wins only 46% of faceoffs on average
The Togliatti team is not showing its best performance in handling the puck, which gives the opponent a certain advantage.
Estimated composition
Podyapolsky, Trushkov, Kalabushkin, Semin, Berezin, Koromyslov, Paigin, Barantsev, Sharakanov, Altybarmakyan, Fisenko, Ozhgikhin, Kugryshev, Nekolenko, Mikhailov, Safin, Joseps, Greco, Chernikov, Moiseev, Popugaev
Trends
Bet 1st goal: "Lada"
In four out of six head-to-head matches, Lada opened the scoring
1.95Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In eight out of nine games, teams failed to score more than one goal in the first period.
1.63Tip and bets
Last year, Lada showed a good game and confidently made it to the playoffs, which they can do again this season, since the team's roster has remained virtually unchanged. In the first two matches, the team experienced serious problems, but still managed to correct its low attacking performance, thanks to which they routed the clear favorite. In general, Togliatti is a solid middling team, capable of confidently dealing with outsiders, as well as giving a fight to the KHL leaders. This cannot be said about Vityaz, the team suffered a rout in its very first match with a serious opponent, which once again proves the team's unpreparedness for serious competition. Even at home, it will be difficult for the "bogatyrs" to resist Togliatti, but despite this, bookmakers give a huge coefficient for the success of the guests, which we suggest taking advantage of.
Our prediction is a Lada victory at 2.75
Bet on total
Vityaz has faced serious problems in defense and is letting in a lot of goals. Lada can take advantage of this and show its attacking power. The Podolsk team will have to play actively to impose a fight, which can lead to productive hockey.
Betting Tip - total over 4.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the outcome of the first period
The first period is rarely successful for Vityaz. The team either allows opponents to gain an advantage, or keeps the score unchanged until the second twenty minutes. For this reason, we suggest betting on a Lada victory with a zero handicap in the starting period.
Prediction - Lada wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.94
