Analysis and prediction for the KHL match “Torpedo” – SKA (09/21/2024)
Many teams do not look at all like they did at the start of the regular season. Among them is Torpedo, over which clouds have gathered. Even Igor Larionov could not resist criticism and, after another defeat in the last match against Severstal, told the press service of the hosts that he would not answer questions via Zoom. The KHL warned the coach of the car manufacturer.
The third attempt will be successful or not:
“Metallurgist” – “Neftekhimik”. Andrei Razin owes it to the fans
Most likely, this is due to pressure. In such a situation, even the strongest coaches can lose their nerves. Nizhny Novgorod lost five out of seven matches. In the last three matches in a row, they suffered defeats to Spartak (2-4), Sochi (3-5) and Severstal (4-5). But this summer, Torpedo received experienced players Voinov, Kagarlitsky and Svechnikov. So what’s the problem?
According to Larionov, his players often give their opponents opportunities that they don’t deserve. If this continues, SKA will surely take advantage of the gifts. The St. Petersburg club is just beginning to gain momentum. In the summer, Evgeny Kuznetsov joined the team. His experience of playing big games in the NHL will certainly come in handy. But not all at once.
Ovechkin’s former teammate needed time to adapt to the KHL. SKA won the last two games: against Lada (4-3 in overtime) and Sochi (7-4). In these games, Evgeniy provided four assists. The 18-year-old Ivan Demidov was a surprise. He scored five points using the goal-pass system in this short period.
Dziuba will bring good luck to Akron:
Akron-Krasnodar. Dzyuba will serve as a talisman.
In general, there is a feeling that everything is starting to work out for Roman Rotenberg. Beginners gradually get used to his setups and tactics and get the desired result. Regarding Demidov, the SKA coach said that the young forward has hockey intelligence. He also noted that he sees a future in him.
This once again suggests that, unlike Torpedo, there is no tension at the St. Petersburg club. In short, it would be reasonable to bet on SKA winning in regular time at odds of 2.00.
Tender: SKA wins at 2.00.
Safe game for the favorite:
“Zenit” – “Fakel”. No problems for the RPL leader
