Torpedo - Severstal: betting tip (cf 1.97) and bets on the KHL playoffs match

Current form

After winning the first game of the series, and even away (4:1), the car manufacturers significantly increased their chances of a successful outcome. It's not even about the victory itself, but about how exactly it was achieved – in a fast attacking style, which Severstal is considered to be committed to, and which, as it seemed at the finish of the regular part of the championship, Torpedo stopped following. In seven matches in March, the Volga team won only two victories – over outsiders Sochi (4:3) and Amur (5:3).

The start of the series and the first game against Severstal gave hope that the recession was over. Winning the second game seemed quite possible. However, the match was difficult for Torpedo players. Already in the first period, passions began to flare up, estimated by the referees at 12 minutes of deletions for both teams, but the account was not opened. But in the second period, the penalty time was distributed as 0-29 in favor of Nizhny Novgorod, which largely explains the score of the period – 2:0 in favor of Severstal. Striker Alexey Kruchinin scored with a minus sign, who not only scored 5+20 before the end of the game for hitting the head and neck, but was also disqualified for one match by the decision of the KHL Sports and Disciplinary Committee. Torpedo players in this match could not find themselves in attack (attacking actions for the entire match amounted to a modest six minutes and 16 seconds) and only 16 times disturbed the goalkeeper of Cherepovets Alexander Samoilov.

The hosts went to the second game with a clear desire to recoup their defeat the day before with the motto Only victory, there are no other options! The first period already showed the seriousness of the Steelers' attacking intentions: the score on shots on target was 20-5 in their favor. They also had six minutes of play in the majority, but the goals came only in the second period. Team captain Adam Lishka opened the scoring, realizing one of the numerical advantages and scoring his fifth goal of the season against Torpedo. Then the guests stood three against five, defending selflessly, but, having barely appeared in full force, they missed after Ivan Podshivalov's throw. In general, by picking up penalties (the penalty time balance for the game was 12 for Severstal versus 49 for Torpedo), the guests significantly complicated their task in this game. In the third period, Mikhail Ilyin scored a double, which made Severstal's advantage very convincing (4-0). Emotions were boiling on the field until the very end, even two minutes before the final siren, the penalty benches were not empty, there were three Nizhny Novgorod and two Cherepovets residents on them.
