Avtomobilist - Torpedo: betting tip for the KHL match
A motorist will take a Torpedo on the ice of his home Uralets Arena on March 13. Nikolay Zavarukhin's team slowed down after a strong stretch and dropped to fifth place in the conference. Nizhny Novgorod residents still occupy the eighth place in the West and are unlikely to be able to rise higher. In September, the reindeer were stronger than their rivals in the Volga region and beat the machinists in regular time. How will it be this time? Look for the answer in the betting tip for the game

Command Analysis

Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg

Current form
Avtomobilist dropped to sixth place in the conference and can only claim fourth place in the East so far. The Machinists scored only 81 points in 63 games and are in terrible shape, gradually losing their positions in the East. Nikolay Zavarukhin's team slowed down after a strong series of victories and lost in four previous matches. The Uralians played poorly on the road and lost to Metallurg (1:3), Dynamo (1:4) and Ak Bars (1:3). After returning to Yekaterinburg, Anatoly Golyshev's squad lost to CSKA (3:4).
The hosts play very poorly offensively and have scored only six goals in four matches since the beginning of March. The car has scored only 2.59 goals this season and has not performed well up front throughout the season. Stefan Da Costa remains a bright spot in the team. The Frenchman scored 55 points (14+41) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jesse Blacker and Curtis Volk will not play against Torpedo.
Interesting betting trends
- Machinists win 47.5% of face-offs

Torpedo

Current form
Torpedo finishes the regular season in eighth place in the West. Nizhny Novgorod scored only 70 points and at the moment even joined the fight with the Chinese, who scored a good move and began to put pressure on the guests. The reindeer are unlikely to be able to climb higher, because they are five points behind the higher Severstal and have played one more match. Since the second half of February, Igor Larionov's team has been alternating wins and losses. At the start of the guest tour, they lost in Omsk (3:4), although they could easily have clung to a positive result.
The Volzhans are playing well offensively at this stage of the season. Torpedo players score at least two goals per game for 12 consecutive games and realize their chances quite well in March. Since the beginning of the month, they have scored 14 accurate shots, having played five matches in the spring. Nikita Artamonov regained his leadership in the club's goalscoring list. The young forward has 38 (22+16) points to his credit.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mikhail Abramov, Vitaly Atanasov, Igor Larionov, Ryan Lynch, Artem Misnikov and Daniil Savunov will not arrive in Yekaterinburg on Thursday.
Interesting betting trends
- Torpedo throws only 31 times per game on average.
- Nizhny Novgorod players earn 7.92 minutes of penalty time per match.

1.47Tip and bets
A motorist needs to score points in a duel against Torpedo, because the Urals can remain on the sixth line in the conference. Throughout the season, Nikolai Zavarukhin's players played better on their own ice and looked pretty good in the match against CSKA. Nizhny Novgorod residents go to Yekaterinburg after losing in Omsk, where the guests had excellent chances of success. The deer may well give battle to the machinists, but we believe in Anatoly Golyshev's team. We think that she will win this meeting. We offer a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Our betting tip is that the Motorist with the Asian handicap (0) will win in 1.60
Betting on an individual total
Avtomobilist played very poorly offensively for a long time, but the hosts finally broke through in the last game against CSKA. The drivers are required to score at least three goals against Torpedo, which very rarely plays reliably in defense. The drivers have someone to create chances for, so we believe in at least three good shots from the Urals.
The betting tip is that the Motorist's individual total is more than 2.5 washers per 1.70
Bet on the total
Avtomobilist and Torpedo did not play effectively in Nizhny Novgorod, but now everything should be different. The machinists opened up in the last match on the home court and were good in front, but they couldn't hold off the opponent. The Olegs never sit back and always run forward. We expect at least six goals from the teams.
Betting Tip - total more than five goals in 1.75
