Torpedo vs Dinamo Minsk Prediction and Betting Tips (31.10.2024)

Match announcement

Torpedo

Russian Federation

Current Form

Torpedo continues to struggle, losing points from match to match. The team didn't end their short away series well, suffering a narrow defeat to Salavat Yulaev by just one goal (4:5). Nizhny Novgorod was close to forcing overtime, but forward Firstov received a penalty, leading to a conceded goal just a minute before the final whistle. Returning to their home arena, it seemed the team would easily overcome the troubled Vityaz, but that didn't happen. The praised scoring ability of Larionov's squad vanished, resulting in a second loss with a score of 1:2.

Continuing to play at home, the team faced a stronger opponent in CSKA and again managed to convert only one dangerous chance, losing with just one goal on the scoreboard (1:3). Torpedo has been inconsistent throughout the regular season, with the club's defense being the most unstable. Defenders often get caught up in the attack and fail to return to their zone, losing their advantage. Currently, the team is only seventh in the Western Conference standings, despite being one of the league's highest-scoring teams.

Suspensions and Injuries

The team continues to face lineup issues, which seem to be affecting their results. In the upcoming match, forwards Belevich, Berlev, Larionov, and defenseman Voynov will again be unable to play due to injuries.

Interesting Betting Trends

  • On average, Torpedo scores 3.6 goals per match

The team continues to rely on their offensive line, often scoring a high number of goals.

  • Nizhny Novgorod averages nine penalty minutes per match

Igor Larionov has yet to establish discipline in his team, leading to frequent penalties.

Dinamo Minsk

Belarus

Current Form

Dynamo has been inconsistent this season, often dropping points rather than securing victories. Currently, the team is eighth in the Western Conference standings, but it's worth noting they are only four points away from third place. The Minsk team's offensive line shows decent scoring ability, but it often can't make up for numerous defensive lapses, which is the main reason for their less-than-ideal start in the regular season.

At the moment, the Bison are on a road trip and have already played two away games. In the first, Minsk faced the Western Conference leader and managed to put up a strong fight against the clear favorite, losing by just one goal (2-3). Goalie Tikhomirov didn't perform well and had to be replaced early in the second period after conceding the third goal. After a confident performance against Yaroslavl, it seemed Dynamo could challenge Severstal, but that didn't happen. Once again, weak defense let them down, leading to a crushing 2-5 defeat.

Suspensions and Injuries

Dynamo is also facing some lineup issues, primarily affecting their offensive line. Forwards Dyubey and Stas are still sidelined, and goalie Kareev hasn't recovered from his injury.

Interesting Betting Trends

  • Dynamo averages 37 shots per game

The Minsk team plays very aggressively in attack and currently leads the league in shots on target.

  • The Bison have converted only 16.7% of power play opportunities

However, the team struggles with shot efficiency, rarely capitalizing on a one-player advantage.

Tip and bets

2.14victory for Torpedo

Torpedo has another chance to redeem itself in front of fans and break its losing streak, as the team faces a clear underdog in Minsk Dynamo in the upcoming match. Indeed, the Bison are also not in top form, as shown by their heavy defeat to Severstal. It's important to note that recently, the Minsk team has struggled in away games and rarely achieves the desired result, especially against strong competitors. Therefore, we suggest not taking risks and betting on a victory for Nizhny Novgorod.

Our prediction - Torpedo to win at 2.14
