Kunlun — Torpedo: forecast for the KHL match
The next home series of "Kunlun" will continue in Mytishchi on February 13. The Chinese surprised everyone in the last match and confidently beat Salavat Yulaev for the second time this season. Mikhail Kravets' team does not lose hope of reaching the playoffs this season. To do this, they need to win against Torpedo at all costs, which is currently ranked eighth in the conference. Will the Pekingese be able to take away points from a competitor? This is stated in the forecast for the confrontation
Command Analysis
HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun does not intend to give up and continues to fight for entry into the playoffs, but lately it has been moving further away from the eighth place in the West. Mikhail Kravets' team has been in ninth place in the West for a long time and has 51 points in its piggy bank after 54 matches. The Beijing team slowed down after a strong start to the new calendar year and lost six out of nine matches. The Dragons started at home with a victory over Traktor (4:3, OT), but after it they lost to Sochi (2:4), Ak Bars (3:6), Avtomobilist (1:2, OT) and Dynamo Moscow. The Stars got the right time to rest and analyze their game, and after returning, they sensationally outplayed Salavat Yulaev (4:2).
Kunlun remains the worst defensive reliability team in the conference. On average, Kunlun concedes 3.22 goals per game, while at home they concede 3.43 goals per match. At the same time, the Stars have made significant gains in their half of the court lately and have made fewer defensive mistakes. Patrick Rybar performed well in the match against the Uralians and this season reflected 93.70%. Jeremy Smith remains the number one in the Beijing team.
Tomas Jurcio is Kunlun's top scorer throughout the regular season, but now he is injured. The Slovak striker scored 29 goals (9+20) and is on the 75th line in the list of KHL goalkeepers. Spencer Fu scored and earned the same amount (14+15) and is also one of the top 100 hockey players in the league's offensive plan. Along with them, Tyler Graovac (11+15) is among the top league leaders.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomas Yurcho, Semyon Sinyatkin and Fu Jang are injured and will not play against the "deer".

- Kunlun gets eight 7.94 minutes of penalty time
A team is usually eliminated more than four times per match.
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo remains on the eighth line in the Western Conference table and can still rise higher. Igor Larionov's team earned only 60 points in 54 games. Now Kunlun has reached the positions of Avtozavodsk, which may well leave the Nizhny Novgorod club without a playoff, but the guests managed to slightly break away from the Chinese. Gorky residents have won six out of nine matches and are in good shape. The "Deer" failed the end of the last guest tour, losing to Dynamo and CSKA (1:6) in Moscow. After returning to the ice of Nagorny, Vyacheslav Voynov's squad scored important points in matches against Vityaz (2:1, B) and Spartak (3:2, B). At the start of the new guest tour, Torpedo defeated Ak Bars in Kazan (5:1), without giving the opponent a single chance.
Maxim Letunov became the new leader of Torpedo in terms of the number of points scored. The 28-year-old forward made 32 assists (12+20) and beat the young Nikita Artamonov (17+14) and veteran Dmitry Kagarlitsky (8+23). Young Artamonov missed the meeting against Kazan, but this did not prevent his partners from gaining a confident victory.
Torpedo players play poorly in defense and miss a lot. It is because of this that the team from the Volga region loses most of the matches. In the last seven games, the guests have conceded 19 times, while they managed to produce strong matches against Sochi, Vityaz and Ak Bars. Ivan Kulbakov remains the main goalkeeper of the club, but he reflects only 91.90% of shots. This season, he made one shutout in 27 starts and put Ivan Bocharov on the bench.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirill Svishchev, Artem Misnikov, Mikhail Abramov, Robert Lynch and Igor Larionov will not come with the team to Mytishchi.
Interesting betting trends
- Torpedo scores an average of three goals per match.
Nizhny Novgorod players continue to show excellent offensive play, demonstrating high performance.
- Avtozavodtsy completed only 14.4% of the majority's attempts.
Torpedo is notable for its bright and effective offensive play. However, the team does not always effectively use the removal of opponents.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In five out of nine matches in Mytishchi, the first period was not productive.
1.80Bet 3rd period: Torpedo will score
Nizhny Novgorod scored in the third period in eight out of ten games.
1.40Tip and bets
Kunlun got the necessary boost of confidence after defeating Salavat Yulaev in the last game. Mikhail Kravets' team broke a series of four defeats in a row and intends to return to the fight for entry into the playoffs. Torpedo unexpectedly defeated Ak Bars in Kazan, but in that game the hosts themselves rather lost the meeting, while the goalkeeper of the club from Tatarstan played terribly. We believe that the Dragons have a good chance of snagging points. Red Star is extremely motivated to win and, in fact, this will be almost the last chance for the stars. We believe that Kunlun will not lose in the regular season.
The forecast is that Kunlun will not lose in 1.82
Betting on an individual total
Kunlun could not score more than one goal during two games, but scored four accurate shots in the last match. The Beijing team scores only 2.44 times per game, but it's not going to have the strongest defense right now. Torpedo concedes three goals per match on the road and is unlikely to be able to restrain the motivated Chinese.
We're betting more than 2.5 pucks on Kunlun's individual total with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on the total total
The teams have faced each other three times this season and have played quite productive games twice. Kunlun has improved in all aspects, but Igor Larionov's players have not become more reliable on their side of the ice. At the end of September, the opponents scored six goals between them. We are waiting for at least six goals this time. Let's bet on the total more.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.90
