“Salavat Yulaev” - “Torpedo”: forecast for the KHL match
On October 24, Salavat Yulaev will play its second match in a row at its home arena, where it will face Torpedo this time. The teams have never met this season, which means that watching their confrontation will be even more interesting. Our experts, in turn, tried to highlight the most relevant bets, which can be found in the forecast
Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev has not been showing the best results this season, as evidenced by their eighth place in the Eastern Conference table and only 18 points. The team has problems in defense and is unable to compensate for them with offensive efficiency, which often leads to defeats. The Greens completed a three-game away series, which began with a 2-4 defeat to Dynamo Moscow. Once again, the opponent was allowed to create many dangerous moments, which they took advantage of. Then the Ufa team went to visit the league main outsider, Barys, and still managed to win, and with difficulty (3-2). The series of away games ended with another defeat to another favorite, Traktor (2-4).
Returning to their home arena, Kozlov charges partly rehabilitated themselves for the lost points, snatching a hard-fought victory from Sochi in a shootout (3:2). They managed to achieve success thanks to their well-coordinated attacking play; it is difficult to single out any one of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. However, it is worth noting that the fans most likely expected a more confident victory from their club, as the "leopards" are far from being the most serious competitor.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is safe to say that Salavat Yulaev has no problems with its roster. All key players are in action, and only Gleb Kuzmin and Yaroslav Tsulygin remain in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Salavat concedes an average of 3.1 goals per match
As we have already noted, Ufa players are not known for their most reliable defensive play.
- Ufa players realized 25% of their power play attempts
The Greens have an excellent record of converting extra players into goals and continue to consistently take advantage of their opponents' penalties.
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
After an unsuccessful start to the season, Torpedo has gained great form and continues to please fans with a series of points, which has already reached ten matches. The team won six victories in a row, and then met with a very powerful Traktor and suffered an offensive defeat in overtime (4:5). The Nizhny Novgorod team tied the score just a few seconds before the final whistle, but ultimately lost anyway. Returning to their home arena, Larionov charges fought with Neftekhimik and this time they got what they wanted, snatching victory in extra time with a score of 5:4. Once again, forward Letunov showed an excellent game, scoring a goal and also giving an assist.
"Avtozavodtsy" had every chance to consolidate their success and gain another victory outside of regulation time, but in the match with Moscow "Dynamo" it came down to a shootout, where they still had to give in (2:3). Then the Nizhny Novgorod team again played a match with Nizhnekamsk, but already on their court, where they played much more reservedly and achieved success without any problems (3:1). Thanks to the points scored, "Torpedo" has already risen to fourth place in the Western Conference table and has every chance to fight for second place.
Disqualifications and injuries
One of Torpedo main losses remains defender Vyacheslav Voynov. Also in the infirmary are two forwards Andrei Belevich and Anton Berlev.
Interesting trends for betting
- Torpedo scores an average of 3.8 goals per match
Throughout the regular season, the Avtozavodtsy team has been relying on their attacking line, which allows them to consistently score a large number of goals.
- Nizhny Novgorod residents receive an average of 10.8 penalty minutes per match
But the team has problems with discipline on the court; Torpedo is often sent off, which gives an advantage to opponents.
Trends
Goal in each period bet - no
In six head-to-head games in a row, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
2.50Bet 3rd period: total under 1.5 goals
In six head-to-head games in a row, the teams have failed to score more than one goal in the third period.
2.40Tip and bets
Oddly enough, bookmakers single out Salavat Yulaev as a clear favorite in the upcoming match, despite the fact that the team has not shown the best results throughout the season. As we have already noted, Torpedo is in excellent shape and has been steadily earning points for a long period of time. Another important factor is that the Nizhny Novgorod team performs confidently on the road, where in seven matches they have suffered only one defeat, and that was outside of regular time. So we suggest taking advantage of the unreasonably high odds and betting in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is Torpedo victory with a handicap of (0) at 2.34
Bet on total
The upcoming match may well be productive for several reasons. Firstly, most of the matches involving Torpedo this season have been filled with a huge number of goals scored, as the team prefers open hockey. Secondly, it is worth noting that the defense on both sides is far from reliable.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.77
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to its superiority over its opponent, Torpedo can start playing first, which will allow them, at a minimum, not to lose in the first period, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Torpedo will not lose in the first period for 1.50
