Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo ended the three-game home series unsuccessfully. In the first game against Sibir, which was considered an underdog, the Nizhny Novgorod team showed a solid defense. They did not allow the opponent to score a single goal and won with a score of 2:0. They could have won by a bigger margin, as they made 50 shots at the goal. Goalkeeper Bocharov blocked all the shots and got a shutout. In the second game against Admiral, the Nizhny Novgorod team unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:6. Already in the middle of the first period, goalkeeper Kulbakov had to be replaced, but this did not save the situation. The team continued to miss goals, and attacks did not bring results. In the final game of the home series, the Avtozavodsk team met with the leader of the Eastern Conference, Traktor, and again could not show a decent game, losing with a score of 3:5. Goalkeeper Bocharov blocked only 78% of the shots.
The club then went on an away trip, where they finally rehabilitated themselves before the fans and broke their losing streak. The team met Lada and won with a score of 3:2. It is especially worth mentioning striker Lynch, who scored twice. After this victory, the team returned to the home arena, where it seemed they would not be able to even give Spartak a worthy rebuff due to their weak form, but Larionov team pleased them again, snatching a victory in overtime (3:2). However, it is worth noting that goalkeeper Kulbakov made a huge contribution to the success, having deflected 46 shots out of 48. Without such an outstanding performance by the goalkeeper, they would have clearly had to fail. Even despite the long decline and a large number of lost points, Torpedo continues to remain in the playoff zone, occupying the eighth line in the Western Conference table.

Larionov and Misnyakov continue to remain in Torpedo infirmary.

Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur had been on the decline for a long time, and the latest losing streak reached four matches, all of which ended in regulation time. The team managed to put up a decent fight only against Metallurg, thanks to the excellent play of goalkeeper Shaimardanov, who did not allow the Foxes to fully realize their attacking potential. Khabarovsk also had problems with converting attacking moments, of which there were plenty, which ultimately led to a defeat (2:3). In all other matches, the team suffered crushing defeats time after time. What is especially noteworthy is that the Tigers were unable to fight back even against opponents of their level, losing to Sochi and Kunlun with a score of 5:2 and 5:0, respectively. The defensive line showed a terrible game twice, allowing competitors to create a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone, and Red Star made 52 shots.
Continuing to play at home, the Khabarovsk team played a return match with Ak Bars. At the beginning of the second period, the Kazan team already had a three-goal advantage, but Amur did not give up, but on the contrary, picked up the pace and due to this was able to make an incredible comeback, and as a result snatched victory in regulation time with a score of 5:4. The entire first line showed a great game, having scored seven effective actions in total. After an unexpected victory, the Tigers met another very powerful opponent in the person of Metallurg and again pleased the fans with success, snatching victory in overtime (3:2). The main hero of the meeting was goalkeeper Jarusik, who blocked 48 shots. Although the points scored helped the club rise from the last line in the Eastern Conference table, the gap from the playoff zone is still too large and amounts to 18 points.

Amur has no problems with the squad. Only Korotkikh is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Amur scores two goals per match
The Tigers have been playing horribly offensively throughout the regular season.
- Khabarovsk residents realized only 13% of their power play attempts

In four out of five head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.50Tip and bets
Yes, Amur was able to cope with obvious favorites in the last matches, but it is worth noting that this happens very rarely, and it is also worth considering the fact that the Khabarovsk team looked much worse than their competitors in each match. In the upcoming match, the tigers will have to face another very serious opponent, Torpedo. In addition to this, Amur will play away, where it is even more difficult to show their best side. The Nizhny Novgorod team, in turn, received additional confidence in their strength, having defeated Spartak. Avtozavodtsy will again play open, attacking hockey, which will be a serious problem for the guests. We believe that the home team will easily win, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our prediction is Torpedo victory at 1.69
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored. Amur has serious problems in defense and consistently misses a large number of goals. Torpedo will start playing attacking hockey from the first minutes and will create serious problems for its opponent. So, as a second bet, we choose total over.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.94
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Torpedo, due to its significant superiority over its opponent, will begin to create serious pressure on Amur from the first minutes of the match. Home walls will help the Nizhny Novgorod team earn an advantage already at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Torpedo win in the first period for 2.07
