Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo decline has been going on for a very long time, which is why the team has lost a huge number of points and dropped to seventh place in the Western Conference table. It is worth noting that if the team does not quickly come to its senses, it may soon leave the playoff zone altogether. The recent series of defeats of the "automakers" has reached four matches, and all of them ended in regulation time. Only Vityaz and Salavat Yulaev managed to give a worthy fightback, losing by a difference of one goal with a score of 1:2 and 4:5, respectively. In the remaining matches, there were problems with the implementation of moments in the attack, which led to two more failures in matches with CSKA (1:3) and Minsk Dynamo (2:5).
The Nizhny Novgorod team managed to break the losing streak away to Moscow Dynamo, where they snatched victory in a shootout with great difficulty (5:4). Forward Svechnikov made a big contribution to the success, scoring twice. As expected, Torpedo was unable to consolidate its success, as they had to fight the current leader of the Western Conference, Lokomotiv. Still, it is worth giving credit to Larionov team, as they showed a decent game and looked much more active than their opponent, but once again the implementation of dangerous moments in the attack let them down, which ultimately led to a defeat in a shootout (1:2). The team was distinguished by a very productive game throughout the season, but recently it has stopped scoring a huge number of goals, which is why there has been a decline.
Disqualifications and injuries
Torpedo continues to play without one of its main forwards, Igor Larionov, who has not yet been able to recover from an injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Nizhny Novgorod residents concede three goals per match
The club defensive line is showing a very weak game, as it often joins the attack and does not always have time to return, which leads to failures and a large number of missed goals.
- Torpedo receives an average of nine penalty minutes per match
It is also worth noting the club very aggressive style of play, which leads to a large number of deletions.
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev had a very successful home series of five games, in which they suffered only one defeat from Admiral (2:4). The Ufa team quickly rehabilitated themselves for the lost points, winning a confident victory over a very serious opponent in the face of St. Petersburg SKA with a score of 4:2. The team showed excellent play in attack, and in particular, it is worth praising forward Livo, who scored a goal and also gave an assist. The Greens were able to consolidate their success on the road, where they met with Sibir and snatched a hard-fought victory in a shootout (3:2). The match was absolutely equal, the teams even made almost the same number of shots, but still Kozlov charges were a little luckier.
But away from home to Minsk Dynamo, Salavat did not play so well and was only able to make 18 shots on goal, which, naturally, was not enough to win. It again came down to a series of shootouts, where this time they had to lose (2:3). Indeed, away from home this season, the team has been playing with varying success and constantly alternates victories with defeats. Despite this, the club is in fourth place in the table, and the gap from the leader is seven points. The team main distinguishing feature remains its effectiveness, but failures in defense do not allow the Ufa team to fully open up.
Disqualifications and injuries
Salavat Yulaev has only one player left in the infirmary: forward Gleb Kuzmin.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Ufa players score three goals per match
Salavat Yulaev is one of the most productive clubs in the league.
- On average, the Greens take 31 shots per game
The team high performance is primarily due to the large number of shots on goal.

2.25Tip and bets
Torpedo returned to their home arena in triumph, where fans are eagerly awaiting a long-awaited victory over Salavat Yulaev. This match will be a chance for the Nizhny Novgorod team to take revenge for the disappointing one-goal defeat in their last face-to-face encounter. Then, trailing during the match, Torpedo was one step away from overtime, but just a minute before the end they missed the decisive goal. The Avtozavodtsy’s home arena will be a powerful incentive for the team, and fans can expect a bright and spectacular game. Ufa, on the contrary, is experiencing difficulties on the road, which can be an additional advantage for Torpedo. Larionov’s charges demonstrate a high level of play and, despite the recent decline, they maintain confidence and fighting spirit. The return to their home arena should inspire the club to new achievements and help them win, which is what we suggest betting on.
