LiontipsTractor - Torpedo: betting tip (cf 1.88) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Chelyabinsk Tractor received the right to participate in the Gagarin Cup this season even without its participation. This happened after Khabarovsk Amur was defeated by Barys on March 10 and lost the chance to catch up with Chelyabinsk in the Eastern Conference standings. At the moment, the tractor drivers have 67 points and are sixth in the East. Neftekhimik has the same number of points, but Nizhnekamsk played one more match.
Traktor's January and February results were generally good: 23 points in 18 matches, but the beginning of March turned out to be discouraging. In one of the first five matches of the final month of the regular season, Chelyabinsk demonstrated unconditional superiority over Torpedo away (5:0), but the other four matches ended in defeats after a hard struggle: at home from Ak Bars (0:1), away from CSKA (0:1), Metallurg (2:3, B) and the nearest neighbor in the Petrochemicals table (1:2, FROM). The following detail of the Tractor's current condition is noteworthy. In the last six matches in a row, the team has not conceded in the first periods, winning four of them. On the other hand, the second periods were much weaker, the advantage gained could not be maintained three times, and as a result, points were lost in these three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sergey Mylnikov will not play against Nizhny Novgorod.
Interesting betting trends
- Traktor gets an average of 8.84 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Chelyabinsk residents, according to statistics, win 51.4% of face-offs
Current form
The Nizhny Novgorod team, which not so long ago had a good chance to compete for the top spots in the western playoff bracket, is gradually losing its position and has already lost fourth place to the Moscow Army. If the results of all 25 matches played in 2026 can be considered satisfactory: 28 points, a goal difference of 73-73, then, starting from the end of January, it is impossible not to notice a clear decline in the results of the car manufacturers.
Since January 26, 16 matches have been played and only 14 points have been scored, six meetings have been won, and all of them with a difference of one goal. At the same time, the team is active in the attack, making an average of 30 shots on target, but only seven percent of them reached the goal. The beginning of March did not change the situation: in four games against HC Sochi (1:5 and 4:3), Traktor (0:5) and Avangard (1:4), only two points were scored with a 6-17 puck balance and four percent shooting efficiency. SKA and Dynamo Moscow are coming on the heels of Nizhny Novgorod in the table, which already have an advantage over them in terms of lost points. On the eve of the playoff matches, it is necessary to strengthen the team's game both defensively and offensively. Torpedo players finish the regular tournament with home games with Neftekhimik and Cupid.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, Torpedo has no difficulties with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Torpedo wins 49.9% of face-offs.
- Nizhny Novgorod residents receive 6.55 minutes of penalty time according to the statistics.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In six of the seven games with the participation of the hosts, the first period was not productive.
1.82Bet 1st period: Chelyabinsk victory
The hosts won in the first period in three out of four games.
2.65Tip and bets
Both teams are not in the best shape, but the Chelyabinsk team looks somewhat preferable. Evgeny Koreshkov's team will play with the support of their native stands, and most recently they defeated their opponent in Nizhny Novgorod. Torpedo is showing very weak results at the start of spring and is unlikely to be able to take two points in regular time. We believe in the bears' success.
Prediction - Tractor wins with Asian handicap (0) on pucks in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
After Dmitry Nikolaev joined the team, the Tractor began to skip much less. The former Spartak goalkeeper often helps out his partners and, against the background of Sergei Mylnikov's injury, took the role of the first number of the hosts. The guests have big problems in terms of implementing the moments this spring. We do not think that Nizhny Novgorod residents will be able to score more than twice.
We take an individual Torpedo total of less than 2.5 pucks with cf 1.83
