Torpedo - SKA: betting tip for the KHL match
On March 22, Torpedo will try to break its losing streak again, which has already reached four matches in a row. This time, the team will meet with SKA St. Petersburg, which has also started to have problems

Command Analysis

Torpedo

Current form
It seems that Torpedo will not recover until the end of the regular season and will approach the playoffs in terrible shape. The team cannot succeed for four consecutive matches, and all of them ended in regular time. Avtozavod had an away series, where they could not cope with both the clear favorites and the opponent of their level in the face of Siberia (2:3). What is especially noteworthy is that in the duel with Novosibirsk, the club created a huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, but the accuracy of the shots was not enough.
Returning to their home arena, the Avtozavod team met with Severstal and again failed to realize their attacking potential, suffering another defeat with a score of 2:3. Even despite the lost points, it is worth praising goalkeeper Kulbakov, whose efforts made it possible to avoid a complete failure. At the moment, the club is on the eighth line in the Western Conference table, where it will remain until the end of the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Atanasov, Goncharuk, Savunov and Voronin will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Torpedo scores 3.2 goals per match.
- Nizhny Novgorod residents completed only 14.7% of the majority attempts.

SKA St. Petersburg

Current form
SKA had an excellent three-match home streak, in which they did not suffer a single defeat. The team confidently coped with Metallurg (4:2) and Dinamo Minsk (3:1), and also left no chance for Sochi (2:0). However, in their very first away match, the St. Petersburg team started having problems again. The team went to visit the Tractor, where they could not play reliably in defense, which is why they were defeated with a score of 2:4. Goalkeeper Zavragin failed his main task, reflecting 89% of shots.
Next, the club met with another very serious opponent, a motorist. The Army team earned a significant two-goal advantage, but it was not impossible to keep it. Yekaterinburg equalized the score just two minutes before the final whistle, and then suffered an insulting defeat in a shootout (2:3). It is worth noting that SKA can still rise above seventh place in the Western Conference table, as it is only one point behind its closest competitor.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kuznetsov still hasn't recovered from his injury.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, SKA scores 3.5 goals per game.
- St. Petersburg players make an average of 35 shots per match.

It is hard to believe that Torpedo will be able to break his series of failures in the upcoming match. The team is in terrible shape, and this meeting has absolutely no effect on anything, which cannot be said about SKA. Although the St. Petersburg team also began to have difficulties, the club has motivation, as it clearly wants to climb as high as possible in the Western Conference table and enter the playoffs against a less serious competitor. We believe that in their last regular season match, the army team will play at full strength, which will allow them to confidently cope with the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is a SKA victory in 1.97
