Torpedo — Spartak: forecast for the KHL match
On February 6, we will have a curious match in the framework of the KHL regular season, in which Torpedo will sort out relations with Spartak. Nizhny Novgorod residents are currently far from their optimal condition and previously could not get out on a long winning streak, however, the red-whites are also approaching this confrontation not completely confident in their own abilities. The last two matches between the clubs ended in favor of the hosts. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will learn about this from the forecast

Command Analysis

Torpedo

Current form
Torpedo has set itself the highest goals this season. It is no coincidence that the team has acquired famous players, showing clear intentions to fight not only for getting into the playoffs, but also at least for reaching the conference finals. However, she has not been stable at all lately and is losing a lot of points. That is why it is not surprising that the club found itself in the eighth position of the Western Conference and is already five points behind its closest competitor in Minsk.
By the way, in the previous three out of five matches Nizhny Novgorod lost in regular time. They lost to Dynamo Moscow (1:4), after which they dealt with Sochi (3:1), and after two unsuccessful away matches in a row against the blue and white (2:4) and CSKA (1:6) returned to the home arena, where they proved their superiority over Vityaz in a hard-fought 2-1 shootout. In the last confrontation with the Bogatyrs, they created a lot of dangerous moments and even had three attempts to realize the majority, but scored only one goal in the game.
By the way, the majority of the game remains a sore spot for Igor Larionov's squad, as it still has only 14.4% of excess sales and occupies one of the last positions in the championship according to this indicator. Do not forget that with the support of the home stands, Torpedo is performing rather mediocre this season, since up to this point it has managed to win only seven victories within the regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Abramov, Larionov, Lynch, Misnikov and Svishchev will not be able to help their team in the upcoming confrontation.
Interesting betting trends
- Torpedo has 45:55 points scored and missed in the third period.
Nizhny Novgorod residents usually do not spend the third twenty minutes in the best way and often concede in it
- According to statistics, Torpedo gets 8.19 minutes of penalty time per match.
Avtozavodtsy are eliminated about four times per game and do not have perfect discipline.

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak is currently in the fourth position of the Western Conference and has 67 points to its credit. The team cannot feel fully comfortable due to the high density in the standings, as the loss of literally one or two points can drop it to sixth place. That is why she should never relax if she still wants to finish the regular part of the championship in the top three and get a more comfortable opponent in the opening round of the playoffs.
We would like to emphasize that the Muscovites have been successful in three out of five previous meetings. They played great against Lokomotiv (4:2) and CSKA (4:1), and after defeats against SKA (3:4B) and Severstal (6:8), they regained their composure and fairly confidently dealt with Lokomotiv on the road with a score of 5:4. having exposed the league's best defense five times. By the way, one of the club's top scorers, Pavel Poryadin, has recently returned to the squad. He is still in excellent condition and has scored points using the goal+pass system in all three matches after the comeback.
In general, Alexey Zhamnov's squad is used to demonstrating high performance and in most cases opens up the opponents' defense at least three or four times. As a rule, she scores most of her goals during the second half of the game, in which she currently has a 69:53 ratio of goals scored and missed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bychkov, Ivanov, Tkachenko and Yefremov will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Spartak currently has 18.7% of the majority sales
The team is also experiencing certain problems with the implementation of excess, but in this format it still looks better than its counterpart.
- According to statistics, Spartak gets 6.08 minutes of penalty time per match.
Muscovites are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and demonstrate decent discipline.
Trends

In three out of five matches between the teams, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.80The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In three out of five meetings, the Muscovites were successful in the second leg.
2.45Tip and bets
We think that Spartak looks more stable and slightly preferable than Torpedo during this season. Plus, the Muscovites were energized in the last away match with a confident victory over Lokomotiv, so they are certainly ready for a fight with Nizhny Novgorod. Avtozavodtsy in previous meetings often remained without points and lost by a few goals. Even the victory over Vityaz was given to them with great difficulty, so it is likely that in the upcoming confrontation the hosts will concede within the regular time.
Forecast - Spartak's victory in 2.20
Betting on an individual total
In many matches, Spartak demonstrates a great offensive game and usually opens up the opponent's defense at least three or four times. Nizhny Novgorod players have difficulty defending against such opponents and miss quite a lot. So, in three out of five matches, the hosts allowed their opponents to score at least three or four times. Based on this, it makes sense to rely on the individual total of Zhamnov's team.
We take Spartak's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Previous matches with the participation of the guests turned out to be incredibly productive and took place with a huge number of goals scored. Spartak operated exclusively on opposite courses and was not afraid to concede an extra goal, because they knew perfectly well that they could score more. Nizhny Novgorod players also counterattack against such opponents, so there is a high probability that at least six goals will be scored in this match.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.80
