In one of the brightest matches of the KHL game day, we are waiting for a meeting between Torpedo and Avtomobilist. The start of the game of these teams is scheduled for October 18 at 19:00 Moscow time in the palace "Nagorny". Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
"Torpedo"
In the offseason, Nizhny Novgorod residents again did a good job on the market and signed several little-known legionnaires from whom Nemirovski will have to sculpt new stars. While it turns out with varying success, the team does not have stability. Nizhny Novgorod residents alternate between victories and defeats, often failing in defense. In the last match, the team was able to beat Amur in a stubborn struggle at home.
"Motorist"
In the off-season, the team has strengthened quite strongly at the expense of experienced veterans and added depth to the squad at the expense of young people, which has already borne fruit. The team failed to start the championship, but in the last matches it was possible to adjust the game and start winning. So Jokerit and Neftekhimik were beaten, and in the last match even Salavat Yulaev managed to swat in overtime.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- "Motorist" - Prince (injury unknown), Rasseikin (injury unknown), Gross (leg injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of Torpedo with a score of 5:1.
- Avtomobilist has lost only twice in its last five meetings.
- Has a good series of two consecutive victories of "Torpedo".
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in that confrontation, because both teams are able to show a good level of hockey, but they do not have stability. "Avtomobilist" has updated the composition this season and does not always look confident. "Torpedo" is able to take points from the favorites at home, but so far it can't find its game. I think, after all, a hard game with a lot of goals is waiting for us here.
