Torpedo was able to break a long losing streak in the KHL just this past game. Although there are only 8 games left in the regular season, Torpedo has already secured a playoff spot, and it's unlikely that the team's standings in the Bobrov Division will change in the meantime, as the gap to Spartak and SKA is too significant.
Sochi is currently showing some of its best form this season, although the team's playoff chances are long gone. In the last calendar stretch, Sochi lost only to Kunlun, with the last 4 away games ending in wins, including Sochi's win over Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.
Torpedo nominally looks like the favorite today, but the team is not in the best shape right now, and the last face-to-face meetings with Sochi ended badly, so we don't expect a resounding victory from the hosts.
Prediction: Sochi to lose by 1 goal or not to lose at all. We recommend the “2 Hand (+2.5)” bet, odds 1.57
