"Torpedo has good results and stability, while Neftekhimik has been losing recent games. Torpedo is likely to win, especially considering their attacking play and past record of success against Neftekhimik. Neftekhimik has been inconsistent, so the forecast is for Torpedo to win this match."
Forecast for the match Neftekhimik - Torpedo: A low number of goals is expected. Neftekhimik plays cautiously, while Torpedo has trouble scoring away from home. Considering their previous meetings and the playing style of both teams, it is likely that they will focus mainly on defense. Therefore, a bet on the total goals under 5.5 seems reasonable.
In the match between Neftekhimik and Torpedo, a high-scoring game is expected. Both teams play attacking hockey and often score many goals. In their recent games, both teams showed good performance, with Neftekhimik wanting to perform well at home and Torpedo playing in an attacking style. Considering that their previous meeting ended in a high-scoring draw, there is a high probability that this match will also be very high-scoring.

In the KHL match between Neftekhimik and Torpedo, I prefer the home team. Neftekhimik wants to bounce back after a series of losses, and they are stronger at home. Torpedo has defensive issues, which gives Neftekhimik a chance to score many goals. This could be a high-scoring game with plenty of goals from both teams. I bet on Neftekhimik to win and on the total goals scored by them.
