Command Analysis
Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal does not intend to give up in the fight for the second place in the West. The team from the Vologda Region has earned 73 points in 58 games and has now dropped to fifth position in the conference. The Black and Yellow are in great shape and they have managed to win in 9 of the last 14 matches. After the break, Andrey Kozyrev's team failed on home ice and lost two meetings in regular time. In the away series, the steelworkers confidently beat Barys (6:2) and Avtomobilist (4:0), but could not break through the defense of Metallurg (1:4). The guests of that time were able to equalize the score at the end of the first period, but they missed in the last second of the opening 20 minutes, which became decisive in that match.
Daniil Aimurzin took the lead in the goalscoring list from the hosts. The striker scored 52 points (29+23) and ranks seventh in the list of the most productive hockey players in the KHL. He is followed by Kirill Pilipenko, who until recently was the strongest forward in the team. The Russian has 51 points (27+24) in the goal+pass system.
Black and yellow do not perform well in their half of the court at this stage of the season. In the five previous meetings, they conceded 16 times, while Alexander Samoilov played poorly in recent matches and was not reliable. On average, the Russian makes 91.42% of saves per season, while his colleague Konstantin Shostak manages only 89.13% of attacks on his possessions.
Disqualifications and injuries
Artem Shchuchinov and Yaroslav Dyblenko will not help their partners in the game against the Volga Region.

Cherepovets occupy the tenth position in the championship in the minority game.
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo retains eighth place in the West and is unlikely to be able to rise higher. Igor Larionov's team earned only 64 points in 58 games. Car factory workers have broken away from Kunlun and now feel quite comfortable. In theory, the guests can still move at least to the seventh place in the conference, but for this they need to give a long winning streak. After four victories in a row, Vyacheslav Voynov's squad ended the trip with a defeat in Moscow from Spartak (4:7), and after returning home they defeated Sochi (4:7). After getting some time to rest, the reindeer lost to the red-blues on their ice (2:3), without showing a strong hockey level.
Nikita Artamonov became the new leader of Torpedo in the number of points scored. The 19-year-old forward made 35 effective actions (20+15) and beat the more experienced Makim Letunov (12+22) and veteran Dmitry Kagarlitsky (9+25). The young striker did not have a bright game for a long time, but earned four points in the match against Sochi.
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 five games, the visitors conceded 15 times, while they managed to produce strong matches against Kunlun, Vityaz and Ak Bars. Ivan Bocharov started at the last line of defense in the last two meetings. He has blocked only 91.16% of shots this season, but so far he has put Ivan Kulbakov on the bench.
Disqualifications and injuries
Danil Savunov, Artem Misnikov, Mikhail Abramov and Igor Larionov will not come with the team to Cherepovets.
Interesting betting trends
- Torpedo scores an average of 3.1 goals per match.
Nizhny Novgorod players continue to show excellent offensive play, demonstrating high performance.
- Car manufacturers have implemented only 14.6% of the majority's attempts.
Torpedo has a bright and effective offensive game. However, the team does not always effectively use the removal of opponents.

Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks

1.55Tip and bets
Severstal played well on the road and beat one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference, although it could not take two points away from Magnitogorsk. The Steelers have lost points in recent matches on their ice, so now they will be extremely motivated to win, because they need to rehabilitate themselves in front of their home stands. In addition, Andrey Kozyrev's team continues to fight for the second place in the West and is very eager to reach the playoffs, having gained home ice advantage. Torpedo is unlikely to rise higher, and the team from Nizhny Novgorod is essentially just completing the regular season. During the course of this season, the hosts were simply more stable and stronger than the opponent and beat the Volga twice in regular time. We suggest betting on the victory of the first and in the upcoming meeting.
Betting Tip - Severstal's victory in 2.12
Bet on the total total
The match between the rivals in Cherepovets in early autumn turned out to be extremely productive. Throughout the regular season, neither side tries to sit back defensively and always goes forward, trying to score as much as possible. Torpedo players often have problems defending, but they are able to score at least a couple of times against the black and yellow. We expect at least six accurate hits from our opponents.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Severstal has scored 3.45 goals on home ice this season and rarely forgives opponents. The hosts failed in the previous two matches on their home ice and now intend to correct this situation and rehabilitate themselves in front of the stands. Torpedo doesn't work well on its own half of the ice, so we believe in at least three or four pucks from the steelers.
We are betting more than three goals on Severstal's individual total with a coefficient of 1.95
