Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo, after all the changes in the lineup, still looks pale. The team showed mixed results in the preseason, and now it can’t get a win in the regular championship. In the first match, the “automotive plant” team fought with “Severstal” and lost dry (0:3). Overall, the Nizhny Novgorod team didn’t look much worse than their competitor, but they let down by the realization of attacking moments, of which there were plenty.
Then Igor Larionov's team played against Ak Bars and this time they could count on success, as they already had a two-goal advantage at the beginning of the second period. However, the team did not have enough strength for the rest of the game, which Kazan certainly took advantage of and not only tied the score, but also snatched victory in the shootout.

Torpedo still showed good results in the preseason, but in the regular championship they have not yet been able to fully demonstrate their attacking potential.

Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist's start in the new season turned out to be extremely tense, as in the first match they had to play a "Ural derby" with Traktor. The principal rival created enormous pressure on Avto's goal, and in total made as many as 48 shots, and if not for the heroic play of goalkeeper Alikin, they would have had to leave without points. But the Yekaterinburg team managed to hold out, and as a result, the match ended with a score of 3:2 in regular time.
Avtomobilist stayed at home, where they played against Sibir and this time won a confident victory (4:0) without any problems. Once again, the team played quite reservedly in defense, and this time goalie Galkin distinguished himself, repelling 36 shots. As you can see, Zavaruhin's tactics are justifying themselves so far. However, there are questions about the attacking line: 42 shots in two matches is too little.
Interesting trends for betting
- Avtomobilist currently has one of the best statistics for the implementation of throws - 16%.
Although the Yekaterinburg team rarely attacks, they realize almost every dangerous moment at the opponent’s goal, which is why they win.
- Avtomobilist goalkeepers stopped 82 shots in both games.
It looks like Avtomobilist's goalie line is in great shape, as even non-starter Galkin played at 100%, recording his first shutout of the season.
Estimated composition
Alikin, Galkin, Ebert, Tryamkin, Osipov, Vorobyov, Zborovsky, Zhuravlev, Blacker, Gamzakov, Golyshev, Da Costa, Khripunov, Meisek, Volk, Leipsic, Merkley, Byvaltsev, Obidin, Kashtanov, Romantsev, Kuznetsov.

1.87Tip and bets
Torpedo once again got the chance to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans at home, which it must take advantage of. The team as a whole shows a good game and should have taken two points in the second meeting, but the pace was a little lacking at the end, which allowed Ak Bars to make a comeback. By the upcoming match, the Nizhny Novgorod team must correct this mistake and give Avtomobilist a full-fledged fight. The Yekaterinburg team, in turn, showed an excellent game at home, but is unlikely to be able to hold on as confidently on the road. It is for these reasons that we suggest betting on the victory of the home team.
Our prediction is Torpedo's victory in the match at 1.87
Bet on total
Avtomobilist is not showing the best game in defense, but the team's goalkeepers are unlikely to allow the match to be productive, as they are in excellent shape, which means we are betting on the total under.
