Ak Bars returns to Kazan after two successful away matches. Moreover, in the last meeting, Anvar Gatiyatulin's team confidently coped with Dinamo Minsk, although before that they had serious problems with the results. But the Torpedo had lost heavily to Severstal the day before, showing practically nothing in the attack. Nizhny Novgorod residents also continue to alternate successful performances with defeats. Will the hosts be able to take advantage of the opponent's failure? In our betting tip, we will look at the latest matches of the clubs and determine the most interesting bet
Command Analysis
Ak Bars Kazan
Two consecutive wins allowed Ak Bars to finally improve their position in the Eastern Conference. First, Kazan beat the Shanghai Dragons in overtime (3:2), and then went to Minsk, where they managed to cope with the local Dynamo with a score of 4:1. However, the beginning of the meeting was not easy. Already in the fifth minute, the hosts realized the majority, but then Anvar Gatiyatulin's team seized the initiative.
Even before the first break, Albert Yarullin and Denis Zernov led the guests ahead. For the latter, this puck was the first after joining the Kazan club. In the second period, Alexey Byvaltsev increased the advantage, and in the end, Mitchell Miller sent the puck into an empty net. Timur Bilyalov made 32 saves and became one of the main heroes of the match. Now Ak Bars needs to fix the home results. The team has lost its last four matches on its court, and has never been able to score more than two goals.
Torpedo
Torpedo was in a completely different mood after the victory over Dynamo Moscow. Nizhny Novgorod scored five goals and won 5-4, with Sergey Goncharuk scoring a double. Amir Garayev also scored twice, and Daniil Seroukh scored an important goal in the second period. After two home defeats in a row, this result turned out to be very timely. It seemed that the attack had gained momentum again.
But the very next meeting in Cherepovets ended in a major setback. Severstal scored twice in the first period, and then hit Dmitry Shugaev's goal twice more in the second. Before the final segment Nizhny Novgorod lost 0:4. Bogdan Konyushkov managed to realize the majority, but Alexey Isakov's team was not enough for more. As a result, the defeat was 1-4, despite the advantage in shots. Moreover, in four of the last five matches Torpedo scored no more than two goals. Now you have to play against an opponent who has just demonstrated a fairly reliable defense.
Two away wins should add confidence to Ak Bars, but the team is still experiencing serious difficulties on home ice. Kazan are not very productive, and in four previous meetings in front of their fans they did not manage to score more than two goals at all. Therefore, it is not worth counting on a large number of goals just because of the latest success in Minsk. Torpedo doesn't always use its moments effectively either. Five goals against Dynamo Moscow are still rather an exception against the background of other recent results.
Nizhny Novgorod residents will certainly try to improve after losing to Severstal, but playing too openly can be dangerous for them. The hosts got more time to recover and are able to offer a fairly cautious hockey. Given the problems of both teams with implementation, there is no need to wait for an effective shootout here. Most likely, the opponents will limit themselves to five abandoned goals or fewer.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.55
