Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo played a three-game away series, which began with a crushing defeat by St. Petersburg SKA with a score of 1:4. The reason for such an unfortunate result was the very low implementation of attacking moments, of which there were plenty. In total, the team made 44 shots at the St. Petersburg goal in three periods. But in the following matches, the Nizhny Novgorod team fully rehabilitated themselves before the fans, not only realizing their attacking potential, but also showing excellent defense, thanks to which they managed to confidently defeat Lokomotiv (3:0) and Spartak (6:0). Goalkeeper Bocharov showed his best side twice, reflecting 72 shots in both matches.
Returning to their home arena, the "auto plant" team fought with "Metallurg" and failed to take advantage of its weak form, suffering a 3:5 defeat. Once again, the opponent created a huge number of dangerous moments in the "Torpedo" zone, which Bocharov was unable to cope with this time. The end of the match turned out to be a failure, as they conceded as many as three goals in eight minutes. Indeed, this season, the Nizhny Novgorod team has shown inconsistent results and has difficulty earning points, which is why they are only in eighth place in the Western Conference table.

What is remarkable is that Torpedo has no problems with its roster. All players are in the lineup.

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA continues to be in excellent shape, and the team winning streak has already reached three games in a row. It began away to Moscow Dynamo, where the "army men" did not allow their opponents of their level to realize their attacking potential at all, winning a dry victory (1:0). The main hero of the meeting was goalkeeper Prosvetov, who reflected all 38 shots, thereby registering another "dry" in his career. Returning to the home arena, the Muscovites fought with a much less dangerous opponent in the person of Barys and confidently beat the Kazakhs with a score of 3:1. This time, it is worth praising the attacking line, and in particular forward Mamin, who scored a puck and also gave an assist.
Vorobyov charges had to consolidate their success on the road, where they met another obvious outsider, who was much more difficult to beat. Vityaz was able to give a worthy rebuff and transfer the game to overtime, where CSKA still achieved its goal and snatched victory with a final score of 2:1. The most productive player was Nesterov, who gave two assists. As you can see, the team has not had problems creating moments in attack lately, but their implementation leaves much to be desired. At the moment, the club is only in fifth place in the Western Conference table, with 41 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only defender Dmitry Samorukov remains in the infirmary for CSKA.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, CSKA concedes 2.4 goals per match
Muscovites can boast one of the most reliable defensive lines in the league this season.
- The Army Men converted 22% of their power play attempts
It is also worth noting the excellent implementation of numerical superiority, which allows you to punish opponents for mistakes.

1.63Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, bookmakers cannot single out a favorite and give approximately equal odds for the teams to win. We believe that CSKA has slightly more chances for success, since the team achieves the desired results mainly due to excellent play in defense, which will be a huge problem for Torpedo. Indeed, the Nizhny Novgorod team is famous for its effectiveness in attack, but their stability leaves much to be desired. The Army Men, unlike the Avtozavodtsy, consistently earn points and perform well on the road, so we bet in their favor.
Our prediction is a CSKA victory with a handicap of (0) for 1.84
Bet on total
The upcoming match has every chance of being very productive. Both teams have pleased fans with very active attacking play throughout the regular championship and have consistently scored a large number of goals, which is also to be expected in this match.
Forecast - total over five goals for 1.80
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Still, we cannot ignore the fact that Torpedo will be playing at home, where it is quite capable of giving CSKA a worthy rebuff at the start of the match. We believe that the "automakers" will, at a minimum, not allow the "army men" to gain an advantage in the starting segment.
Prediction - Torpedo wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.89
