In the match between Torpedo and Severstal, I expect a low-scoring game with a total of less than 5.5 goals. Both teams prefer to focus on defense, as evidenced by their previous meetings where they often score fewer than 5 goals. The beginning of the season may also have an impact on scoring, as teams have not fully settled into their game yet. A tense, low-scoring match is expected.
The Torpedo - Severstal match promises to be high-scoring: both teams play attacking hockey and have strengthened this season. Based on their past meetings, both teams tend to score against each other. Severstal has shown offensive capabilities in preseason games, showcasing a strong attack and some defensive issues. Expect plenty of scoring opportunities and goals in this match. I recommend placing a bet on the total goals over 5.5.
Prediction: Meeting between Torpedo and Severstal. Severstal showed good performance in preseason games and, considering Torpedo's weak defense, I expect the guests to score at least three goals. Also, considering their previous results and playing style, a high-scoring match is likely. Larionov is building the team, and Kozyrev is preparing the youth, which will narrow the gap in the game. I prefer the Over 2.5 goals market for Severstal.
Prediction: In the match between Torpedo and Severstal, we can expect a high level of scoring. Both teams prefer an attacking style of play, which could lead to plenty of goal-scoring opportunities. Torpedo has the advantage of playing at home and has a strong attacking line-up. Severstal, on the other hand, is no exception and is also capable of scoring. It is expected that both teams will score at least three goals each, so an individual total of over 2.5 for Torpedo seems like a good bet.
