Torpedo - Lada. Forecast and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Torpedo has completed a three-game away series that did not start in the best way. In the first game, the team met with SKA from St. Petersburg and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. The attacking line created a huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone, and in just three periods made 44 shots, but only one of them was a goal. But in the remaining games, the team completely rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, leaving no chance for Lokomotiv and Spartak, defeating their opponents dry with a score of 3:0 and 6:0, respectively.

It seemed that the Nizhny Novgorod team, having returned to their home arena in a good mood, would continue to please with success, but this did not happen. In the first home match with Metallurg, problems in defense arose again, which allowed the "foxes" to demonstrate their attacking potential to the fullest. As a result, Torpedo suffered a defeat with a score of 3:5. Goalkeeper Bocharov could not cope with a huge number of shots, reflecting 90% of them. In the next match, the team met with another very serious opponent in the person of CSKA and lost again, only this time in a shootout (1:2). Indeed, this season the club suffers from its instability and currently occupies only the eighth line in the Western Conference table.

Disqualifications and injuries

What is remarkable is that Torpedo has absolutely no problems with its roster. All players are in the lineup.

Interesting trends for betting

Current form

Lada was still able to break its long losing streak of six games while playing away. The team went to visit Severstal, where they unexpectedly showed a very reliable game in defense and did not allow the Cherepovets team to even score, winning a dry victory with a score of 6:0. They managed to achieve success due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Pod'yapolsky, who reflected 44 shots, thereby getting a "dry". The team was able to consolidate their success already away to Kunlun, where they also played very reliably and beat Red Star with a difference of one puck (2:1). Once again, Pod'yapolsky made a huge contribution to the points scored.

Returning to their home arena, the Avtozavodtsy once again met with Severstal and this time they also did not allow the Cherepovets team to score, winning their second dry victory in head-to-head encounters with a score of 1:0. As expected, the club was not able to stay afloat for a long time thanks to the efforts of the goalkeeper and suffered a rout in the match with Metallurg (0:4). This time, Lada problem with scoring was fully evident, out of 28 shots not a single one hit the target. Nevertheless, due to a short winning streak, the team was able to rise to eighth place in the Eastern Conference table, but its position is very shaky, since its closest competitor is only one point behind.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lada has problems with its squad. Chervonenko, Popugaev and Safin are in the infirmary.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, Lada scores two goals per match

This season, Togliatti residents have had great difficulty showing their attacking potential.

• The team converted just 12.5% of its power play attempts.

Very weak attacking play does not allow the team to realize opportunities even with an advantage of one player on the court.
