Match announcement
Torpedo
Current form
Torpedo began to recover from the slump and is increasingly gaining points. The four-game home series began with a defeat to the Western Conference leader, Lokomotiv (0:5). However, the team quickly rehabilitated itself, beating Barys with a score of 3:1. Goalkeeper Bocharov reflected 96% of the shots, and the defense played reliably. In the next match, Nizhny Novgorod lost to Kunlun in overtime (3:4). In the final game of the series, Nizhny Novgorod met with Dynamo Minsk. The team again had difficulties in attack and lost with a score of 0:3, despite 23 shots on goal.
In the return match with the Minsk team, the Avtozavodtsy already played away, where they gathered all their strength and were able to not only take revenge, but also win confidently with a difference of two goals (4:2). Once again, the attacking line showed a very bright and productive game, and in particular, it is worth praising the forward Letunov, who scored twice. Also, one cannot fail to note the efforts of goalkeeper Bocharov, who did not allow the opponent to cling to a comeback. Returning to the home arena, the club met with a far from serious opponent in the person of Siberia and took advantage of its superiority, winning dry (2:0). Torpedo made as many as 50 shots at the Novosibirsk goal in three periods, which miraculously did not turn into a rout. Thanks to the points scored, the team again begins to strengthen its position in the playoff zone and is currently in eighth place, with 46 points.

The Nizhny Novgorod team has some problems with realizing their numerical superiority.
Admiral Vladivostok
Current form
Admiral is still not in the best shape, and the losing streak has already reached six matches in a row. What is especially noteworthy is that almost all of them ended in regulation time, and, oddly enough, they managed to cling to one point only in matches with obvious favorites, losing to SKA and Metallurg in overtime with a score of 2:3 and 3:4. After another failure on the road, the sailors returned to their home arena, where in the return match with Sibir they also failed to please the fans, losing dry (0:1). Few could have expected such an outcome, since the club shows its best side at home and rarely loses this season. And in terms of play, the Vladivostok team looked many times better than their competitor, but they were not lucky at all with the implementation of moments in the attack.
Then Tambiev's team went away again, where they were able to put up a decent fight against Metallurg. Once again, the club was only a few minutes away from victory, but they were unable to maintain their advantage, allowing the Foxes to take the game into overtime, where they had to concede. A virtually identical situation occurred away to Avtomobilist, where Admiral also had the advantage for almost the entire match, but five minutes before the final whistle they had to miss a goal while short-handed, and then another one, but in the final seconds of the game, which ultimately led to a defeat (3:4). It is difficult to call this a particularly serious decline, since the team continues to demonstrate a good game and has played almost all of its games away, where it does not play at its best. Despite the lost points, the club remains in the playoff zone, with 43 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Nikolaev remains in the Admiral's infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Admiral scores 2.67 goals per match
This season, the sailors have not been particularly productive in attack.
- Vladivostok residents realized 25% of their attempts on the majority
However, in terms of playing with a one-man advantage, the club remains one of the best in the league.

1.70Tip and bets
Torpedo is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are many reasons. Firstly, the team has finally recovered from its slump and has begun to show the game that fans expect. Secondly, Admiral is in decline, and in addition to this, it will again play away, where it shows itself from the worst side. The team is already tired of constant travel, which affects its quality of play. It is for these reasons that we suggest not to take risks, but to make a confident bet in favor of the home team.
Our betting tip is a victory for Torpedo in 1.87
Bet on total
We believe that the upcoming match may well be productive. Torpedo prefers an open, attacking style of play and will impose such hockey on Admiral, who also relies on the attacking line this season and often forgets about defense. So there is an excellent opportunity to bet on the total over.
Betting Tip - total over five goals for 1.73
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Torpedo often starts matches with active actions in attack, and this meeting should not be an exception. Admiral may not cope with the powerful pressure of the opponent at the start of the match and allow him to earn an advantage already in the first 20 minutes.
Betting Tip - Torpedo win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.60
