Command Analysis

The fourth victory in a row was not easy for Yekaterinburg residents. In the previous match, Avtomobilist beat Torpedo with a score of 3:2 in shootouts, although after the first period he had a two-goal advantage. Maxim Tarasov opened the scoring, taking advantage of an opponent's mistake when leaving his own zone, and then Alexander Kadeikin doubled the advantage after Daniel Sprong's pass. However, Nizhny Novgorod residents gradually seized the initiative. Egor Vinogradov reduced the gap in the second twenty minutes, and Sergey Goncharuk restored equality in the third. In the end, everything was decided in a shootout, where Jordan Gross made the only accurate shot. Evgeny Alikin played especially confidently, repeatedly saving the team after dangerous attacks by the guests.
Before the meeting with Torpedo, Alexey Kudashov's team confidently coped with Barys (4:1), CSKA (5:1) and SKA (3:1). In the last four matches, the team conceded only five goals in regular time, which became the main advantage of the Urals in this segment. At the same time, there are also plenty of dangerous performers ahead. Tarasov has excelled in the last two meetings, and Kadeikin and Sprong regularly participate in creating chances. However, the previous match showed that with prolonged pressure from the opponent, the defense is still capable of making mistakes. This was especially noticeable in the second half of the match, when the Torpedo was permanently entrenched in someone else's zone. Now the owners will face an even more serious test.

A trip to Novosibirsk ended with an unexpected defeat for Magnitogorsk, where the team lost to Siberia with a score of 2:5. Moreover, the guests faced serious problems in the first period. The hosts scored 21 shots on target against Metallurg's four and managed to open the scoring thanks to Pavel Tyutnev. Nikita Korotkov restored equality in the second twenty minutes, but then Siberia scored three goals in a row. Alexander Mirzabalaev was particularly successful in scoring a double. It was only in the final period that Sergey Tolchinsky reduced the gap, but it was not possible to organize a full-fledged return. Anton Kosolapov hit an empty net and set the final score.
At the same time, Konstantin Shafranov's team continues to lead the Eastern Conference and remains one of the most productive clubs in the championship. Before the defeat in Novosibirsk, Magnitogorsk defeated Neftekhimik in overtime (3:2), and also defeated Siberia on their own court (5:1). The offense works especially well, where Nathan Todd, Vladimir Tkachev and Ruslan Iskhakov regularly create dangerous moments. In addition, Metallurg has recently beaten Avtomobilist with a score of 4:2. Then Magnitogorsk lost after two periods, but managed to score three goals in the final twenty minutes. However, the last match showed that the team is also capable of experiencing serious difficulties, especially when the opponent is active from the first minutes.
Tip and bets
Four consecutive wins show that the Motorist has gradually found a suitable organization for the game. Yekaterinburg residents have become much more attentive near their own gates, and Alikin regularly helps partners maintain the necessary results. Metallurg has a more effective attack, but the previous meeting with Siberia demonstrated serious problems with the active pressure of the opponent. In addition, Magnitogorsk are playing their third away match in a row, while the hosts are completing their home series. This can be an additional advantage for the Uralians, who have been showing quite confident hockey for several meetings.
Of course, the recent victory of Metallurg in the face-to-face confrontation forces us to take into account the possibilities of the guests. Magnitogorsk players are able to quickly change the nature of the match thanks to the individual skill of the leading strikers. However, now the motorist looks much more confident than during the previous trip to Magnitogorsk. The support of the fans and the goalkeeper's good form should help the hosts to impose a fight. We believe that the Yekaterinburg team will be able to take advantage of the current state of the opponent and achieve their fifth victory in a row, possibly beyond regular time.
Our betting tip is that the Motorist will win the match in 2.20
