Torpedo will host the next match of the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League with Dinamo Minsk. Our portal has prepared a forecast for the meeting.
"Torpedo" NN
Now Igor Larionov's team is on the fourth line in the Western Conference table — in 12 matches it scored 16 points. Nizhny Novgorod have already scored 39 goals this season (the second result in the West after SKA). Torpedo held the previous match in the regular season on September 30 in Moscow with Spartak (3:4). Fans of the Nizhny Novgorod club probably want to forget about that game as soon as possible. After the first period, the guests confidently outplayed the opponent with a difference of three goals, but then something went wrong. The Red-whites entered the second period with a new goalkeeper and eventually organized a grand comeback, and Torpedo did not score a single point.
Dynamo Minsk
The previous match in the regular season, the "bison" played on their site with SKA and were defeated with a score of 1:5. At the same time, the KHL season attendance record was set at the game — 15,005 spectators. After the first period, two ones burned on the scoreboard, but then SKA seized the initiative and won a landslide victory. Now Craig Woodcroft's team is eighth in the Western Conference table — it scored 14 points in 13 matches. At the same time, Minsk residents have already conceded 39 goals — the worst result in the West along with Kunlun.
Statistics and figures:
- Bookmakers consider "Torpedo" a small favorite of the meeting;
- Previously, the teams met each other 36 times: Torpedo won 22 victories, Minsk club - 14;
- The last game with the participation of rivals ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Torpedo.
Forecast
In my opinion, Torpedo will justify the status of the favorite received from the bookmakers. Nizhny Novgorod players look a little preferable to the opponent, besides they play on their own court. In this regard, I will put the Torpedo on zero odds.
