Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form
This season, Admiral had to start with a series of away games, and in the very first match, the team was able to earn points, defeating Vityaz (3:2). The Sailors gave their opponent a chance only in the first period, and during the remaining two periods, they completely controlled the game. Then the team had to go to visit Kunlun, where serious problems arose in defense, and goalkeeper Demchenko showed himself from the worst side, which together led to an offensive defeat in overtime with a score of 4:5. Still, it is worth praising the Vladivostok team for their character, since the club did not give up after a serious advantage of the opponent, but on the contrary, picked up the pace and made a comeback.
As expected, Admiral had a tough time visiting CSKA, Leonid Tambiev's charges once again failed to cope with the opponent's pressure, which this time led to a rout from the clear favorite with a score of 2:6. This time Konovalov was put in goal, but he also did not live up to expectations. In general, the game of the "sailors" this season is more pleasing than disappointing, as the team has begun to demonstrate open attacking hockey, but there are still problems in defense, which is still to be dealt with.
Disqualifications and injuries
Overall, the Admiral roster is in full combat readiness, but the club's newcomer Vyacheslav Osnovin remains in the infirmary, having suffered an upper body injury during pre-season training. The club's management announced that the player will miss the beginning of the season, and it is still unknown when exactly he will be able to return to the ice.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Admiral takes 29 shots per match
In previous matches, players from Vladivostok actively attacked and created dangerous moments near the opponents’ goal.
- Admiral's first goalies reflect an average of 85% of shots per match
So far, the Sailors' goalkeeping line looks weak, which is the main reason for their defeats from Kunlun and CSKA.

HC Red Star Kunlun

Current form
Kunlun has already played five matches this season, and so far the start of the regular championship can be called successful. Indeed, last year Red Star became one of the main outsiders of the league, along with Vityaz, but in the upcoming season the team is simply obliged to correct this situation, because during the off-season the club was replenished with a large number of classy players. In particular, it is worth noting forward Nail Yakubov, who already has four points to his credit.
In five matches, Red Star suffered only two defeats, both from very serious opponents, in the form of Severstal (2:4) and Lokomotiv (2:6). After the defeat by the Yaroslavl team, Kunlun went to visit Amur, where they partly rehabilitated themselves before the fans, beating the Khabarovsk team in regulation time with a score of 3:2. Before that, Mikhail Kravets' charges defeated Moscow Dynamo (3:1), and also snatched a hard-fought victory from Admiral (5:4 OT). It is worth noting that the team's attack has become much more interesting, but the defensive line seems to have remained at the same level, which will be the main problem this season.

Kunlun will travel to the upcoming match with almost its full roster. The only player missing is second-line defender Doyle Somerby, and there is no information yet on his recovery.
