Russians believe in Medvedev:
Daniil Medvedev will conquer Miami. The black series will be left behind
In the Chelyabinsk team, as well as in the Yekaterinburg team, no one really believed, except for the loyal fans. The crossover format of the playoffs exceeded all expectations. This gives us a lot of new emotions, the fans of the Western Conference united, cheering for their clubs, and in the East they dream of a semi-final in which only their favorite teams will be present.
When Avtomobilist beat Ak Bars 4-1 in the series, no one gave it much importance. The Yekaterinburg team was better than its rival in everything. But, on the other hand, a discord arose in the Kazan team: the coach and the players lost mutual understanding. And during the regular season, the Kazan team often showed low-level hockey.
In the four games they won against Ak Bars, Nikolai Zavarukhin’s team took great care to protect the goal. As a result, they only conceded three goals in total. Evgeniy Alikin fully justifies the coach’s trust. Even if the Kazan team had problems, not all of them were able to contain their powerful attack during the regular season. And the 29-year-old goalkeeper did it.
SKA seemed very intimidating. It is true, only on paper and from the outside. The “motorist” did not doubt his abilities at all. The Petersburgers have been reaching the conference finals for several years. So far, it looks like this will be their worst season in the KHL playoffs in recent memory.
How to play without a leader:
Georgia – Luxembourg. Khvicha’s disqualification is a big loss!
No one may have realized the problems that started in the Torpedo series. Nizhny Novgorod, like Ak Bars, slowed down the pace, rumors appeared in the media about the discontent of some hockey players with the work of Igor Larionov, but no one attached any importance to it. Roman Rotenberg’s team lost the first match 2-5, but then won four games in a row.
It seemed that SKA’s game improved with each match. “Avtomobilist” quickly erased these sensations. Nikolai Zavarukhin’s team won the first game of the KHL playoffs quarterfinals 3-2. And about character. The winning goal was scored in the seventh minute of the third half with the score 2:2.
Roman Rotenberg remained calm, promised to correct mistakes and think about solving problems. In reality, everything went wrong. The second match “Avtomobilist” won 3:1 with an even calmer pace. The St. Petersburg team collapsed in the second half, began taking frequent penalties, and the Yekaterinburg team converted a power play. But they could have done more!
The SKA coach does not admit his club’s failure and is confident that the fight has only just begun. This time I would like his words to be confirmed in practice. It cannot be ruled out that the St. Petersburg team will recover and win away from home, even under pressure. But you shouldn’t rule out Avtomobilist either.
Kazakhs believe in their coach:
Greece – Kazakhstan. Nothing is impossible for Magomed Adiev
The most profitable betting option seems to be a total of under 4.5 goals at odds of 1.88. The cost of SKA error on the road has doubled or even tripled. And it is difficult to find the weak point of Avtomobilist. The inhabitants of Yekaterinburg will maintain a strong defense; This is nothing new. Additionally, Rotenberg promised to work with hockey players and reduce the number of eliminations. This means that Zavarukhin’s team will have even fewer chances to score goals.
Prediction and bets for the match Avtomobilist – SKA March 21, 2024
If SKA loses the third match, it will be much more difficult to get back into the series. Although history knows cases like this. Rotenberg will eliminate deficiencies, convey to his hockey players the importance of this match and try to catch motorists making mistakes. They are few, but they exist. Any club can have weak points. The Neva military trainer has a lot of experience and will take advantage of it. Another very interesting match awaits us, in which there will not be many goals.
Tender: total less than 4.5 goals for 1.88.
