In the match between Vityaz and Admiral, I give preference to the home team. Vityaz has strengthened before the season, kept the core of the squad, and has a new ambitious coach. Admiral has not been able to significantly strengthen the team and plays poorly away from home. The home arena and motivation make Vityaz the favorite. I expect them to win in the regular time.
The match between Vityaz and Admiral promises to be low-scoring, as both teams failed to show a bright game in the previous season. The main focus will be on defense, indicating a likely low total score. Knowing the stylistic characteristics of both teams, it can be assumed that they will play cautiously and avoid risky attacks, leading to a small number of goals scored. Therefore, it is recommended to bet on the total under 4.5 goals.
Vityaz and Admiral are strong in attack and not very stable in defense, which could lead to a high-scoring game. Both teams have shown a high level of goals scored in the preseason. Vityaz has improved their roster, while Admiral looks like a dark horse. I expect a high-scoring game and believe that the total goals over 4.5 could be justified.
