The forecast for the match between Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo and the Moscow team looks reasonable. Both teams are on equal positions in the championship, but it is expected that the guests will strengthen and be able to win by a minimal score. This forecast is based on the fact that the Moscow team looks stronger and has the potential to outperform the opponent. Considering the equality between the teams, the victory of the guests seems more likely. The match is likely to be low-scoring, which also confirms the choice for the victory of the guests.
In the match between CSKA and Torpedo, a high-scoring game is expected. Both teams have defensive issues and struggle to keep the puck out of their own net, resulting in a high number of goals conceded. Torpedo is on a five-game losing streak and is looking to turn things around. CSKA, on the other hand, is also not performing at its best and is gearing up for a tough battle. Both teams are in need of points, so we can expect an aggressive and intense game from both sides. Therefore, I predict that there will be more than 5.5 goals scored in this match.
Torpedo has a good chance to score three goals against CSKA in the home match. Despite a series of defeats away from home, the team may step up their game, having an optimal lineup and home support. The opponent is also not in peak form, losing to the modest Sibir in the previous game. Torpedo has a strong attacking potential, which sets them apart favorably from Sibir.
