LiontipsSpartak - Torpedo. Betting Tip and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Spartak has climbed to the second line of the Western Conference and has already managed to earn seven points. It should be noted that the team suffered its only defeat in the match against Sochi (1:2 SO), but in subsequent matches against Minsk (5:2) and Moscow Dynamo (4:2) it celebrated success. Alexey Zhamnov, as in the previous season, is counting on his powerful play in attack. In general, it can be said that the coach is counting only on the first three of the attack, because it is they who create most of the dangerous moments at the opponent's goal.
The red-and-whites also have a pretty good power play, as they currently have a 21% power play conversion rate. Incidentally, in the last meeting with Dynamo, two goals were scored in unequal teams, and the goals were scored by the same Poryadin, Goldobin and Morozov.
Interesting trends for betting
- Spartak receives an average of nine minutes of penalty time per match
At the start of the season, Spartak players are not distinguished by discipline and disrupt opponents' attacks through penalties
- On average, Muscovites score at least three to four goals per game
Spartak plays very powerfully in attack and creates many chances, and the trio Poryadin-Morozov-Goldobin does their job
Injuries and disqualifications
Egor Zaitsev (injury)
Current form
Torpedo is expected to show serious results this season, so a banal exit to the playoffs will not satisfy anyone. In general, the team has a very good roster, but at the same time, at the start of the season, it has had problems creating and implementing chances. Nevertheless, after two defeats in a row, the Nizhny Novgorod team managed to recover and won two victories. First, on home ice, they dealt with Avtomobilist (3:1), and then on the road, they made a comeback against CSKA and won with a score of 4:3 in overtime.
It is noteworthy that currently none of the players in the club has more than one goal scored, because Igor Larionov relies on all lines in the attack. However, the "automakers" play poorly in the 5x4 format and currently have no goals scored in the majority.
Interesting trends for betting
- Torpedo blocks an average of 14 shots per game
In the first matches, the Nizhny Novgorod team rarely conceded goals due to the fact that they took many shots
- The Avtozavodtsy team averages 28 shots on target
Larionov's team took few shots at goal and were not very active in the opponent's zone
Injuries and disqualifications
Belevich (injury), Berlev (injury), Orlov (injury)
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
1.96Bet 2nd period: Muscovites will score
In three out of four matches, Spartak scored in the second period
1.40Tip and bets
Spartak is certainly in good shape, but despite a series of victories, it has played almost all of its matches with uncertainty. Torpedo is also not known for its stability, but we would not write it off, especially after a strong-willed victory over CSKA. The teams previously met in a friendly match during the preseason, and then the Nizhny Novgorod team beat the red-and-whites with a score of 3:2. We think that in the upcoming match they will give a worthy rebuff to their opponent.
Betting Tip - Torpedo win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals for 1.64
Bet on individual total
Torpedo has shown good defensive play in previous matches and has never conceded more than three goals. Also, the Avtozavodtsy have reliable goalkeeper Ivan Bocharov, who corrects the mistakes of the defenders and is in optimal condition. It is quite possible that this time Larionov's team will also concede less than four goals.
We bet on Spartak's individual total under 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.62
Total Bet
Many previous matches involving the Nizhny Novgorod team were not particularly productive and had fewer than six goals. Torpedo, as we noted above, plays well in defense, so even against Spartak we would not expect a large number of goals scored. Plus, three out of five matches between the clubs had a total under.
We take the total under 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.80
