Command Analysis

Vityaz

Current form
Vityaz completed an away series of three matches, which turned out to be far from the most successful. After a successful performance in the home arena and an unexpected victory over Salavat Yulaev (3:1), the team went to visit Avtomobilist, where they could not show their attacking potential, and in three periods scored only one goal and suffered the expected defeat (1:2). Despite the lost points, it is worth praising the efforts of goalkeeper Dorozhko, who managed to avoid defeat. Next, the heroes faced an even more dangerous opponent in the person of the Avant-Garde, who gained amazing form. Despite this, Desyatkov's wards were able to impose a decent fight on Omsk and even moved the game into overtime, equalizing the score just six minutes before the final whistle. However, in the end, I still had to concede (3:4).
It seemed that Podolsk, after such a confident game in matches with clear favorites, would be able to cope with Siberia, but this did not happen. The team started the meeting confidently enough and even earned a significant two-goal advantage, but it wasn't enough. Once again, Vityaz had serious defensive problems, which allowed the opponent to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments. Due to this, Novosibirsk made a comeback and snatched Victoria in extra time. It is worth noting that at the moment the club is on the tenth line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is already 15 points, which leaves almost no chance of getting a ticket to the Gagarin Cup.

Torpedo

Current form
Before the start of the away series, Torpedo played two home matches, which showed mixed results. In the first match, the team faced a clear outsider in Sochi and left no chance for their competitor, defeating him with a score of 6:3. Throughout the match, Nizhny Novgorod players created powerful pressure on their competitor, and as a result, they scored as many as 47 shots in three periods. Strangely enough, the fourth link performed best, and in particular, it is worth praising striker Artamonov, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist. However, the team was unable to consolidate its success. Larionov's team hosted CSKA at the arena and also tried to play from a position of strength, creating many dangerous moments in the Muscovite zone. However, this time the puck stubbornly did not fly to the target, which led to an insulting defeat (2:3).
But in their first away match, the team immediately rehabilitated itself in front of the fans. Nizhny Novgorod met with Severstal and played much more modestly, but this did not prevent them from achieving the desired result (3:2). The most productive was striker Tertyshny, who scored a double. It is impossible not to mention the efforts of goalkeeper Kulbakov, who reflected 93% of shots, which did not allow the opponent to catch on to the comeback. After that, Torpedo fought CSKA again, but this time in the Moscow arena, where the defensive line failed. Goalkeeper Kulbakov failed to cope with a huge number of shots, which eventually led to a defeat with a two-goal difference (2:4). It is worth noting that the club still has not received a ticket to the playoffs, although it has a solid advantage over the ninth place in the Western Conference table. So car manufacturers definitely shouldn't relax.

1.50Tip and bets
It is hard to believe that Vityaz is capable of giving a worthy rebuff in the upcoming duel. The team is inferior to its opponent in many ways and definitely does not qualify for the playoffs, which means it has nothing much to count on. Walls at home also do not always help Podolsk residents achieve success. Torpedo, in turn, is in good shape, and most importantly, the club has serious motivation, because it can still drop one line lower. The bookmakers also single out the guests as clear favorites, and we agree with them, which means we are betting in favor of the car manufacturers.
Our betting tip is the victory of Torpedo in 2.02
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams cannot boast of a good defensive game and this season they often allow their opponents to fully realize themselves. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 2.00
Betting on the outcome of the first period
It is worth noting that Vityaz's first period was one of the most successful. Recently, the team rarely allows its opponents to gain an advantage already in the starting segment.
