Analysis and prediction for the KHL match “Severstal” – “Metallurg” (09/16/2024)
Andrei Kozyrev’s team is a formidable rival for any KHL team, regardless of its status. Severstal often lacks stability. It can beat a clear favorite or lose to an outsider. But this is easily dealt with. The head coach must understand the reasons.
Lynx lost to Dynamo Moscow (1-3) and Sibir (2-5), defeated Torpedo (3-0), Kunlun (4-2) and in the last match beat CSKA (4-2). The result of the match with the army team surprised many. The Red and Blues started the regular season well and showed effective hockey. But Cherepovets turned out to be better in the third period, scoring two important goals.
Inter have only become stronger:
Monza – Inter. Inzaghi does not lose his touch
The winning goal was scored by Kirill Pilipenko, to whom 19-year-old Mikhail Ilyin passed the ball in the fall. It looked impressive. Andrei Kozyrev has many young and talented hockey players in his squad. They can achieve victories not only thanks to their skill, but also through bold decisions.
Metallurg is apparently missing this very thing. The Ak Bars goalkeeper said the right thing after the victory over the Foxes (2-0). Amir Miftakhov said that Magnitogorsk were champions last season. In fact, this regular season is a completely different game.
Andrei Razin’s team lost four out of five matches this season. They lost to Lokomotiv (2-3), Neftekhimik (0-2 and 2-3) and Kazan (0-2). Metallurg got its only win over SKA (5-4 in overtime). The coach constantly makes excuses and says that the team is missing small things. But there are no changes in sight.
This time he again pointed out that they could have scored a goal. Perhaps Andrei Razin forgot that there is a big gap between “could” and “did”. Let’s hope that the “foxes” come to their senses and gain faith in themselves. They will also improve their implementation. Most of the games were ineffective. The only thing that made me happy was the shootout with St. Petersburg.
“Mattress covers” are superior to “bats”:
Atlético-Valencia. Mamardashvili has Premier League thoughts and Sørloth will eclipse Álvarez
The relationship between Metallurg and Severstal is complicated. The results of head-to-head matches do not favor the Magnitogorsk team. They have won only three of their last eight meetings. In seven, Cherepovets scored at least three goals. We predict that the individual total of the “lynxes” will be more than 2.5 goals to 1.85. Even if Magnitogorsk manages to break through, Andrei Razin’s team will not remain silent.
Tender: Severstal’s individual total is over 2.5 goals to 1.85.
