The most interesting game of the day
Adler Mannheim, which was eliminated in the semi-finals of the German Del-League last season, has swept a big broom in the summer. As many as 17 players have left the team since the spring!
You could imagine Mannheim suddenly weakened after such turmoil, but the newcomers are men of such a tough caliber that the opposite will probably happen to the team.
Among Mannheim’s new signings, the most familiar to Finns are last season’s Ilves’ second most effective defender Jyrki Jokipakka and a striker who played in the national team and the Jokers Markus Hännikäinen.
KHL-level toughness and experience will be brought to Mannheim by the defenders this season Jordan Murray and John Gilmour as well as a very effective striker Linden Way.
When the German national team strikers are added to the guard of newcomers Daniel Fischbuch, Maximilian Eisenmenger and Tom KühnhacklMannheim has potential for anything.
New coach Johan Lundskog has made Mannheim’s joint game work surprisingly well and quickly. The team lost the first training match of the season, but has since won all five of their next games. In the CHL, HCB Südtirol (4–2) and Salzburg (3–2) have fallen at home. The victories were deserved considering the events of the game (total expected goal for Mannheim 5.7–2.6).
The team’s internal CHL points market this season is led by Jokipakka together after two matches by David Wolf and Matthias Plachtan with power 1+1=2.
Tappara’s start in the CHL has been twofold. In the opening match against Aalborg of Denmark, Tappara was unexpectedly quiet and confused, but in the second match at home, the team was completely sovereign against Belfast Giants. However, I personally don’t give too much weight to the 6–0 win over Belfast, because the Northern Irishmen were surprisingly tired in that match after the previous night’s Lukko match.
In terms of betting, Tappara is definitely overvalued against Mannheim with the current odds (1.65/4.30/4.10) and on the contrary Mannheim is undervalued. Bets in this match should definitely be viewed from the side of the away team. There’s also a kind of opulence that tastes good here.
The best bets are x2 with a coefficient of 2.16 and that both teams score at least two goals with a coefficient of 1.80.
Tappara–Mannheim starts at 18:30.
The best betting tip of the day
The best search of the day can also be found in CHL.
The Swiss Servette has started his CHL season well below his abilities. A 2-5 loss to Innsbruck thanks to the empty goals at the end and a narrow 3-2 win over Kosice do not match the true level of last spring’s Swiss league champions.
The team is very strong in terms of material and now at home against a really weak HCB Südtirol, you can expect a performance that matches their level. Veikkaus practically offers top-of-the-market coefficients for Servette across the board. The level of HCB Südtirol was sampled in the last round, when Ilves claimed a 7-1 away win against Bolzano.
Servette’s firepower should be too much for HCB Südtirol. I personally choose the 1.52 odds offered for Servette’s over 3.5 goals very carefully and conservatively. The bravest can quite well play a line higher than the goal with a coefficient of 2.18.
The world’s highest odds of 1.37 offered for Servette’s regular regular time win is also playable. The match starts at 20:45.
Today’s ranking match (5–8) of the World Basketball Championships between Lithuania and Slovenia tastes like a lot of points. Tired teams are unlikely to be able to fully devote themselves to playing defense. The line is 174 points and the coefficient is 1.87. The match starts at 15:30.
Games of the day:
Tappara–Mannheim x2 (coefficient 2.16)
Tappara–Mannheim, both score at least 2 goals (odds 1.80)
Servette–HCB Südtirol, Servette over 3.5 goals (odds 1.52)
The total balance of the day’s games for the year: 76/132/99%
