Torpedo - Lokomotiv: betting tip for the KHL playoffs match
The series between Locomotive and Torpedo moves to Nizhny Novgorod on March 31. The Deer tried very hard to win at least one meeting in Yaroslavl, but scored only one goal in two matches. Yaroslavl does not intend to prolong this confrontation, because they will most likely have to play in the second round against Avangard, who has gained excellent form. The railwaymen look two heads stronger than their opponent and must win all the games. Do the owners agree with this? This is stated in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo had a good chance of being among the leaders of the conference. The Nizhny Novgorod team played rather poorly in the second half of the season and was in eighth place in the West for a long time. Igor Larionov's team felt the pressure of Kunlun at the moment, but they increased in time and were able to stay in the top eight. Nizhny Novgorod were not in the best shape for the games and lost five matches in a row before the start of the playoffs, without showing a strong offensive game.
The Deer arrived in Yaroslavl in a not very rosy mood, but they were able to give at least some fight to the opponent, maintaining the intrigue until the end of the second period. A day later, the Gorky team took to the ice with a different attitude and were very close to dragging the meeting into overtime. So far, the hosts lack sharpness in attack, because they scored only one goal in 120 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vasily Atanasov and Daniil Savunov remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Torpedo earns nine penalty minutes at the start of the playoffs.
- Nizhny Novgorod players make only 20 shots per game in this series.
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Throughout the season, Lokomotiv was the best team in the conference and the league as a whole. Back in the fall, Yaroslavl seized the leadership in the West and only increased their advantage over their competitors. The railwaymen won the Continental Cup and brought the first trophy to the capital of the Golden Ring in the history of the KHL team. Even at the very end of the regular season, Igor Nikitin's team did not slow down and continued to beat the most powerful clubs in the league. Before the start of the playoffs, the guests were considered the main favorites for the trophy and remain so to this day.
The locomotives started the series at home with maximum concentration and did not plan to give the opponent faith that he could go further. Alexander Yelesin's team played a strong second period in the first meeting of the confrontation and played well defensively in the second match. Daniil Isaev remains the leader of Loko and has conceded only one goal in two games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Stepan Nikulin remains on the Locomotive's injured list.
Interesting betting trends
- Lokomotiv throws 31 times per match in the playoffs
- Yaroslavl players block 14 shots in the first series

In six face-to-face matches in a row, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
1.95Tip and bets
We do not think that Yaroslavl residents will let themselves relax after winning on their ice, because the matches, despite the result, turned out to be quite intense. The railwaymen need to beat Torpedo in four games and prepare for the next opponent, who will be much stronger than the Nizhny Novgorod team. Igor Larionov's team showed character and, perhaps, are unlikely to be able to cling to at least one duel against the KHL leader. We believe that the team from Yaroslavl will win again in regular time. We take a bet on the Victoria of the guests.
Our betting tip is that Lokomotiv will win in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Lokomotiv has completely blocked all the opponent's attackers and does not allow them to enter their zone calmly. Daniil Isaev is in great shape and regularly helps out his partners. Torpedo literally does not succeed in attacking throughout March, so it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to distinguish themselves with more than two accurate hits.
Betting Tip – total individual total Torpedo less than two goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
The series between the teams does not turn out to be bright, because Loco forces the opponent to play his game. The locomotives missed only one puck in 120 minutes of clean time, while they themselves scored only three times not into an empty net. We do not believe in the spectacular nature of the match in Nizhny Novgorod. We suggest betting on a total of fewer heads.
Betting Tip – total less than 4.5 goals in 1.95
