Torpedo - Lokomotiv. Forecast and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Torpedo has been struggling for a long time, which has led to a loss of positions in the Western Conference table. The team has dropped to sixth place, having scored only 31 points.

Recently, the team has begun to show signs of recovery, scoring points in matches with serious opponents, such as Lokomotiv and Salavat Yulaev, losing only in the shootout and overtime, respectively. It is noteworthy that Larionov charges demonstrated high activity and created many dangerous moments near the opponent goal, but the implementation was disappointing.

After a series of failures, the Avtozavodtsy broke their losing streak at home, defeating Sochi with a score of 7:1. It is difficult to single out any of the players in this match, as many showed effective play. The success was consolidated in a match with Minsk Dynamo, where the team snatched victory in overtime (2:1). In this game, goalkeeper Kulbakov made a great contribution, reflecting 95% of the shots.

Of course, there were some crushing victories: "Loko" easily dealt with the league outsiders, such as "Amur" (5:0) and "Kunlun" (5:1). However, the team long winning streak was interrupted in the match with CSKA, where the Yaroslavl team was unable to demonstrate its attacking potential and suffered a dry defeat (0:2).

This match became an important lesson, showing that even the best teams can face difficulties and that success requires not only strength, but also the ability to implement your moments.
