LiontipsThe Metallurgist miner Novokuznetsk. Betting Tip (cf 1.60) and bets on the VHL match
Command Analysis
After the hardest possible first round of the playoffs and a 4-3 victory over the Hammer, the miner faced an even more powerful opponent in the quarterfinals in the person of Metallurg. The club completely failed the first match, practically without creating dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, and only due to the smart play of goalkeeper Novoselov, they managed to avoid defeat, losing with a difference of only one goal (1:2). As expected, the Verkhnepyshmin team played much more actively in the attack in the second leg, but there were huge problems with the implementation, which led to a dry defeat (0:1).
Metallurg held a great regular season and continued to delight fans with successful results already in the framework of the Petrov Cup. In the 1/8 playoffs, the team faced off against CSK VVS and met fierce resistance, but a powerful offensive line allowed them to avoid additional problems and gain the upper hand with a final score of 4:2. Novokuznetsk also started the quarterfinals at home, where they played flawlessly defensively, allowing Gornyak to score only one goal in both meetings and thus winning two regular-time games (2:1 and 1:0). Now the club will go to play on the road with the most comfortable advantage.

Tip and bets
The miner returned to his home arena, where, with the support of his native stands, he has a much better chance of success. However, it is worth considering that the club is much inferior to Metallurg in all key parameters, which was perfectly noticeable in the first matches of the quarterfinal series. Novokuznetsk residents perform superbly on the road, where they practically do not lose. It is also worth noting the face-to-face meetings in which the Verkhnepyshmin team has not been able to achieve the desired result for 11 matches. So we suggest not to take any chances and bet again in favor of the clear favorite.
Our betting tip is Metallurg's victory in the match at 1.60
