Command Analysis

Torpedo

Current form
At the end of the regular season, Torpedo began to decline, and the series of defeats has already reached three matches in a row. A series of failures began when visiting a clear favorite in the person of Avangard. The team was unable to contain the pressure of such a powerful opponent, losing with a score of 3:4. The third period turned out to be a failure, in which Nizhny Novgorod completely lost their advantage, conceding three goals. Goalkeeper Kulbakov did not perform well, deflecting only 87% of shots. As expected, the team was also unable to regain the lost points away from the Motorist, losing by one goal (1:2). There wasn't enough active action in the attack to win.
It may seem that a similar problem arose in the duel with Siberia, as they had to concede with a score of 2:3. But this time the car manufacturers created a huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, but difficulties arose with their implementation. Despite the lost points, the club has already qualified for the playoffs and will remain in eighth place in the Western Conference table until the end of the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Torpedo continues to experience serious problems with the composition. There are six players in the infirmary at once: Abramov, Atanasov, Larionov, Lynch, Misnyakov and Savunov.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Torpedo scores three goals per match.
- The residents of the city realized only 15% of the majority's attempts.

Severstal Cherepovets

Current form
After the successful completion of the home match with Dinamo Minsk and the victory in regular time (5-4), the team went to play on the road, where they met with the clear favorite in the person of Spartak. As expected, the Cherepovets team failed to realize the pressure on their competitor, having been defeated with a score of 2:4. Already at the beginning of the first period, the opponent gained a significant two-goal advantage, which he could not win back. Goalkeeper Samoilov tried his best to compensate for the shortcomings of the club due to his reliable game, but still had to fail.
The steelworkers quickly rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans and in the very next match they snatched the heaviest victory from Kunlun in a shootout (5:4). It is worth noting that the Cherepovets equalized the score just a few minutes before the final whistle. So far, Severstal is on the sixth line in the Western Conference table, and Dinamo Minsk is breathing down its back.

Interesting betting trends

It is quite difficult to determine the winner in the upcoming match, and bookmakers give approximately equal odds for the teams to win. Indeed, both clubs are in terrible shape. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the Nizhny Novgorod team returned to their home arena, where, with the support of the fans, they show their best and rarely lose points. We believe that it is the native walls that will help Nizhny Novgorod residents to win, which is what we propose to bet on.
Our betting tip is that Torpedo will win in 2.27

In the upcoming match, the teams are unlikely to throw all their strength into the attack, as the playoffs will begin soon, which means they need to keep their strength. So you shouldn't expect a lot of abandoned pucks.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Torpedo's first period was far from the most successful. The team rarely earns an advantage at the end of the starting segment, which means that Severstal is quite capable of creating problems for Nizhny Novgorod at the beginning of the meeting.
