If in the Eastern Conference Lada was the main sensation of the current season, then in the Western Conference it happened with Torpedo, as the team was even the leader of the standings for a while, although it happened against the backdrop of the decline of SKA and CSKA. Of course, the team then had a slump and now the gap from the Western Conference leader is already 9 points, but Torpedo still intends to gain maximum points, as the fight in Bobrov Division for 1-2 places is not over.
Vityaz in the current season could not show a confident game, the team is still one of the outsiders of the division. There are still 17 games left until the end of the regular season, but Vityaz has virtually no playoff chances, as the gap is already 25 points. So we don't think the visitors will pick up points today in Nizhny Novgorod, and all of the last face-to-face meetings ended in Torpedo victories.
Prediction: Torpedo to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.62
