Torpedo vs. Lada: KHL Match Prediction
On December 8, Torpedo will try to break its losing streak, playing at home, where this time it will face Lada. It cannot be said that the Togliatti team is in great shape, so the Avtozavodtsy have every chance to grab points in the upcoming match. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast that will help you decide on your bets
Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo has completed a three-game away series that did not start in the best way. In the first game, the team met with SKA from St. Petersburg and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. The attacking line created a huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone, and in just three periods made 44 shots, but only one of them was a goal. But in the remaining games, the team completely rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, leaving no chance for Lokomotiv and Spartak, defeating their opponents dry with a score of 3:0 and 6:0, respectively.
It seemed that the Nizhny Novgorod team, having returned to their home arena in a good mood, would continue to please with success, but this did not happen. In the first home match with Metallurg, problems in defense arose again, which allowed the "foxes" to demonstrate their attacking potential to the fullest. As a result, Torpedo suffered a defeat with a score of 3:5. Goalkeeper Bocharov could not cope with a huge number of shots, reflecting 90% of them. In the next match, the team met with another very serious opponent in the person of CSKA and lost again, only this time in a shootout (1:2). Indeed, this season the club suffers from its instability and currently occupies only the eighth line in the Western Conference table.

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

Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada was still able to break its long losing streak of six games while playing away. The team went to visit Severstal, where they unexpectedly showed a very reliable game in defense and did not allow the Cherepovets team to even score, winning a dry victory with a score of 6:0. They managed to achieve success due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Pod'yapolsky, who reflected 44 shots, thereby getting a "dry". The team was able to consolidate their success already away to Kunlun, where they also played very reliably and beat Red Star with a difference of one puck (2:1). Once again, Pod'yapolsky made a huge contribution to the points scored.
Returning to their home arena, the Avtozavodtsy once again met with Severstal and this time they also did not allow the Cherepovets team to score, winning their second dry victory in head-to-head encounters with a score of 1:0. As expected, the club was not able to stay afloat for a long time thanks to the efforts of the goalkeeper and suffered a rout in the match with Metallurg (0:4). This time, Lada problem with scoring was fully evident, out of 28 shots not a single one hit the target. Nevertheless, due to a short winning streak, the team was able to rise to eighth place in the Eastern Conference table, but its position is very shaky, since its closest competitor is only one point behind.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lada has problems with its squad. Chervonenko, Popugaev and Safin are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Lada scores two goals per match
This season, Togliatti residents have had great difficulty showing their attacking potential.
- The team converted just 12.5% of its power play attempts.
Very weak attacking play does not allow the team to realize opportunities even with an advantage of one player on the court.

2.00Tip and bets
Torpedo demonstrates a bright attacking style of play in every match, which allows them to achieve success throughout the season. The Nizhny Novgorod team confidently resists even the strongest clubs in the league. In the upcoming match, they will face Lada, which has significant difficulties in both creating and realizing scoring opportunities. This will probably prevent Lada from achieving success. It is also worth noting that Larionov team will play at home, where the support of fans will significantly increase the chances of winning.
Our prediction is Torpedo victory at 1.87
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, you definitely shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored, even considering Torpedo excellent attacking play. Lada will once again sit back in defense, which will have a negative impact on the overall performance.

Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to the home advantage, Torpedo has every chance to create serious problems for Lada already in the first period, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Torpedo win in the first period for 2.32
