The Nizhny Novgorod team recently excelled away, with impressive victories against Amur (7:2) and Barys (10:1).

3.30Tip and bets
It’s challenging to identify a clear favorite in this matchup, which makes us question the bookmakers' odds. Both Torpedo and Metallurg have shown impressive performances recently and are in excellent form. Additionally, Lariyonov's team won both of their last two games against Magnitka in regulation last season, so the Professor knows exactly how to approach the Wolves. It's quite possible that this game could even go into overtime.
Prediction - Torpedo to win with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals at 1.67
Ставка на индивидуальный тотал
В прошлых встречах «Торпедо» отличалось как минимум четырьмя голами. Атака нижегородцев - мощное оружие, поэтому «Металлургу» будет очень непросто сдержать натиск своего визави. Плюс ко всему, в трех прошлых встречах из четырех против «автозаводцев» хозяева пропускали не меньше трех шайб.
Ставим на индивидуальный тотал «Торпедо» больше 2.5 шайб за 2.00
Ставка на общий тотал
Предыдущие матчи «Металлург» проводил зрелищно и много забивал, однако и немало пропускал сам. Нижегородцы тоже показывали приличную результативность и мощно играли в атаке. Нас ждет поединок между клубами, которые умеют остро играть в нападении, поэтому есть смысл поставить на тотал больше.
Берем тотал больше 5.5 шайб с кф 1.85
