Lokomotiv - Torpedo: betting tip (cf 1.75) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Lokomotiv is located on the second line of the Western Conference and now has 63 points in its asset, sharing the first position with Severstal. In the new year, the Yaroslavl team is still unable to find stability, and they have not won more than one victory in a row. Previously, they alternated successful fights with defeats. So, on the road, the railwaymen lost to Metallurg (4:5 OT), and after defeating Siberia (3:2 OT) they lost to Torpedo again (0:3). 

Fortunately, upon returning to the home arena, Bob Hartley's team nevertheless pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over the Shanghai Dragons with a score of 2:0, and Daniil Isaev was on guard in that match and parried a total of 23 shots. It should be noted that Yaroslavl usually concede very little on their ice and in most cases manage with less than three goals conceded. However, the team has so far failed to improve its game in the majority, and it still has only 15.3% of excess sales, which is completely unusual for one of the leaders of the table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Only Egor Surin will not be able to help his team in the upcoming meeting.

Interesting betting trends

• According to statistics, Lokomotiv conducts 24 power moves per match.
• Yaroslavl players win 57.1% of face-offs on average.

Current form

Torpedo occupies the fourth place in the Western Conference and, in theory, can also claim the first position, from which it is separated by only five points. The team, to put it mildly, did not spend the end of December and the beginning of January in the best way, and during this period suffered four defeats, but now it is in pretty good shape and has developed the series to three victories. After an unsuccessful away match against Severstal (6-7), Nizhny Novgorod defeated Dynamo Moscow (4-3 OT), and after defeating Lokomotiv, they beat Spartak away 1-0.

Denis Kostin has had an amazing performance in both recent matches and has parried more than 60 shots in total. It is worth noting the fact that Alexey Isakov's squad performs quite strongly on foreign grounds and has lost only seven times in regular time, and also usually scored three goals. We emphasize that Torpedo's business with the majority is somewhat better than Yaroslavl's, and the club currently has 20% of excess sales.

Disqualifications and injuries

Alexey Kruchinin will not be able to help the team in the upcoming match
