Command Analysis
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent 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. However, thanks to a successful start to the season, the Avtozavodtsy have every chance of returning to third place, lagging behind by only three 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. These victories instilled confidence in the team and showed that Torpedo is capable of fighting for high places in the regular championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Torpedo currently has no problems with its roster. All players are in the ranks, and the infirmary remains empty.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Torpedo scores 3.5 goals per match
The club remains one of the most productive in the league despite the decline.
- On average, Nizhny Novgorod residents receive nine penalty minutes per match
The team still has serious problems with discipline, which gives an advantage to competitors.
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv has been showing amazing results this season, confidently occupying the leading position in the Western Conference table with an 11-point lead over its closest competitor. Compared to last season, the Yaroslavl team has significantly improved its attacking game, complementing it with a reliable defensive line. On average, the club concedes only 1.5 goals per match - this is the best indicator in the league, which emphasizes their superiority.
Thanks to such a confident game, the "railwaymen" established one of the longest winning streaks in their history - 11 matches in a row. It is especially noteworthy that most of the matches ended in regulation time, and problems arose only in matches with really strong opponents. 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). Nikitin charges completely outplayed their opponent, but they were let down by the implementation of attacking moments, which led to an offensive defeat. 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.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lokomotiv does not have any serious problems with its roster. The team is only without striker Pavel Kraskovsky.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Lokomotiv concedes 1.5 goals per match
Yaroslavl players demonstrate the most reliable defensive play among all teams in the league.
- On average, the Greens take 30 shots per match
Such efficiency was achieved due to active play in attack. The team consistently creates many dangerous moments in the opponent zone.
Trends
Goal in each period bet - no
In four of the six head-to-head games, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
2.05Bet 2nd period: total under 1.5 goals
In five out of six head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score more than one goal in the second period.
1.94Tip and bets
A defeat to CSKA could seriously affect Lokomotiv confidence in its abilities, especially considering the fact that the Yaroslavl team was superior to its competitor in all parameters throughout the match, but still did not achieve the expected success. In addition to this, the "railwaymen" will again play away, where it is more difficult to show their best side than at home. "Torpedo" has recently managed to give a worthy rebuff to Nikitin charges and has every chance to once again not allow the opponent to win in regular time, which is what we suggest placing a bet on.
Our prediction is that Torpedo will not lose for 1.80
Bet on total
We believe that we should not expect a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Lokomotiv will again rely on its strong side and will try to stop the pressure of the Nizhny Novgorod team, which will have a negative impact on the overall performance of the match.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.73
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Torpedo shows confident play at the start of the match and very rarely allows opponents to gain an advantage already in the starting segment, and the home walls will help the team in this.
Prediction - Torpedo will not lose in the first period for 1.50
