Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form
After a less than successful away series, Admiral returned to their home arena, where they were able to show their best. In the first match, the team met with Kunlun and won the biggest victory in their history with a score of 7:1. The Sailors showed excellent play in attack and created a huge number of dangerous moments, and in total they managed to make 47 shots on goal. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since the first two fives together scored as many as 18 points. The Vladivostok team was able to consolidate their success in a match with a much more serious competitor in the person of Moscow Dynamo, winning another confident victory (4:1). Tambiev's charges did not allow the favorite to take advantage on the court, playing on opposite courses in all three periods, thanks to which they were able to achieve the desired result.
Indeed, this season Admiral decided to bet on the attacking line and no longer sits back in deep defense, which cannot but please hockey fans. So far, this style of play brings results, and at the moment the club is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
It can be said that Admiral is playing with almost its full complement, since only one player is in the infirmary, striker Osnovin, who played for Dynamo Minsk last season.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Admiral takes 33 shots per match
Let us note once again that Admiral is trying to play open attacking hockey this season and is consistently creating problems for opposing goalies.
- Admiral concedes an average of 2.8 goals per game
Due to its open style of play, Admiral has become less reliable in defense and has been letting in a lot of goals this season.

CSKA Moscow

Current form
Overall, the start of the regular championship for CSKA can be called successful, as the team is currently in third place in the table and is only one point behind the leader, although it has one more game behind it. The "army men" show their best game at home, where they played most of the matches, winning almost all of them. Problems arose only with "Torpedo", again, due to a not very strong defensive line, they had to lose to the Nizhny Novgorod team in overtime (3:4). Goalkeeper Prosvetov did not show his best, reflecting only 82% of the shots.
It is worth noting that in away games the Muscovites immediately begin to experience difficulties, as evidenced by two defeats from Spartak and Severstal with a similar score of 2:4. So far, Vorobyov's charges have not been able to build a high-quality defensive line, which is the main reason for the lost points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yarosh and Williams are the only players left in the infirmary. Overall, the team is fully staffed and in full combat readiness.
Interesting trends for betting

1.60Tip and bets
CSKA has a very strong lineup, but so far the team has consistently achieved success only in matches with not the most serious opponents, and also provided that there is a home arena. On the road, the "army men" constantly lose points, and they can't even cope with outsiders. Indeed, the Muscovites have yet to gain their best form, and for now the team is just beginning to get used to it after a large number of changes in the lineup. "Admiral", in turn, shows an excellent game with the support of its home stands, so it can well take advantage of the not-so-best condition of the competitor and give a worthy rebuff.
Our prediction is Admiral's victory with a handicap of (+1.5) pucks for 1.60
Bet on total
As we have already noted, CSKA has problems in defense and quite often allows opponents to show their attacking potential, which Admiral will try to take advantage of. The Sailors have been pleasing with open attacking hockey this season, which means we should expect a large number of goals scored.
