Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak is in second place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 43 points. The team has demonstrated fairly stable results throughout the season, but over the past month it has improved significantly and started winning match after match. Let us recall that its only defeat was in the confrontation with Lokomotiv (0:2), but in the remaining nine matches it celebrated success. At the moment, the red-whites do not know the bitterness of failure and are on a series of four victories. Earlier on home ice, they dealt with Severstal (4:1), Admiral (6:1), and after a confident victory over Amur (7:3), they made an incredible comeback against Vityaz and won with a score of 5:4 in overtime.
Let us recall that in the meeting with the "bogatyrs" Spartak players should have remained without a single point, but they performed fantastically at the end of the third period, during which they scored three goals and transferred the game to extra time, where they "finished off" their opponent. At the same time, Alexey Zhamnov team was saved once again thanks to a classy attack and excellent realization of moments. And not without a goal by Pavel Poryadin, who is currently among the top five scorers in the league.
It is also worth mentioning that Spartak continues to maintain a high standard in the opening game period, in which they currently have 27:15 in goals scored and goals conceded.

Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo is in eighth place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 33 points. The team cannot be completely satisfied with its position, since it has previously become accustomed to being in the top five. However, for a month it has not been able to find stability and produce any winning streak. Usually, at best, the Nizhny Novgorod team alternates successful matches with defeats. Note that not long ago they lost to Lokomotiv (0:1) on their home ice, after which they went on the road, where they managed to lose to SKA (1:4), but took revenge on the Yaroslavl team, beating them with a score of 3:0.
It is noteworthy that it was in the confrontation with the league leader that Igor Larionov team remained without a single missed puck, although they usually miss at least three times away. Despite this, the "automakers" are very unyielding and allowed themselves to be dealt with within 60 minutes on the road only five times in 17 matches. They continue to feel most comfortable in the second period, in which they have a 28:21 ratio of goals scored and missed and practically do not allow the opponent to score.
It is also worth mentioning that Torpedo plays well in the minority. Today, the team occupies the sixth position in this indicator in the league and has 84.6% neutralization of the opponent majority.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured or disqualified players in the Torpedo squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Torpedo receives 8.13 minutes of penalty time
Nizhny Novgorod residents usually receive at least four two-minute penalties per match
- On average, the Avtozavodtsy team scores 3.88 goals on the road
The team shows great results when playing away
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In the last five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
1.85Bet 2nd period: guests will score
In three out of five matches, Nizhny Novgorod scored goals in the second period
1.60Tip and bets
The Nizhny Novgorod team should definitely not be underestimated in this confrontation. Igor Larionov team has been playing well away this season and has earned most of its points on away courts. Plus, just the day before, it had dealt with Lokomotiv, to whom Spartak had recently lost at home, without a goal. The previous matches between the clubs were evenly contested, so the Muscovites will definitely have a hard time this time. We think that in this confrontation, the Avtozavodtsy should at least take the game to overtime.
Prediction - Torpedo win with a handicap (+1) on goals for 1.77
Bet on individual total
Apparently, the times when Spartak switched over and became more disciplined in defense are gone, since in the two previous games at least three pucks ended up in their net. However, this fact can also be linked to the team fatigue, since they played each last game at the limit and gave their best. We think that it will be difficult for them to hold off the opponent onslaught and end up with fewer than three goals conceded, especially considering how well the "automakers" play on counterattacks.
We bet on Torpedo individual total over 2.5 goals for 2.10
Total Bet
Previous matches between the teams were often spectacular and had a large number of goals scored. Torpedo scores a lot on the road, but Spartak, in turn, also demonstrates excellent performance over a long period of time and, with the support of the home stands, often scores three times. It is quite possible that in this match we will see at least six goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.85
