Read on for our predictions and betting insights.

Command Analysis

Amur Khabarovsk

Current Form
Amur has just completed a disappointing four-game road trip. The club first traveled to Kazan, where they faced Ak Bars and suffered a frustrating shootout loss (2:3). The opponent took control in the closing minutes, but the Tigers managed to equalize just two seconds before the final buzzer, ultimately falling short. In the rematch, the Khabarovsk team displayed an aggressive offensive performance, nearly matching the clear favorite, which allowed them to secure a 2:1 victory in regulation.
As expected, following those challenging games in Kazan, Martemyanov's squad struggled to find their rhythm against Neftekhimik, resulting in a heavy defeat (1:4). A significant factor in this loss was the high number of penalties, leading to two goals conceded while short-handed. During the rematch against the Nizhnekamsk team, Amur started their offensive too late, only scoring in the third period. They managed to tie the game, pushing it to a shootout, where they once again lost (3:4).
Disqualifications and Injuries
It’s important to note that Amur is currently facing serious challenges with their forward lineup, as two forwards, Vladislav Barulin and Devin Brossua, are sidelined with injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- The Khabarovsk team averages 1.84 goals per game
The primary issue for the Tigers is their low scoring efficiency, directly linked to the injuries of key forwards.
- The Tigers have converted just 12.5% of their power play opportunities
Additionally, it’s worth highlighting Amur's poor performance on the power play. From 48 attempts to score during extra man advantages, the team has managed only six successful conversions.

Lada Togliatti

Current Form
Lada enters the new season in less than optimal shape, reflected in their initial results in the regular championship. The team currently sits ninth in the Eastern Conference standings with just 12 points. The main issue for the Togliatti club is their lack of scoring, averaging only two goals per match, which is inadequate considering their less-than-stable defensive line.
At home, the Autoworkers are slightly more competitive, as demonstrated in their recent home stretch where they triumphed over Admiral in a shootout (1-0) and secured a victory against Siberia in overtime (4-3). However, in the rematch against the sailors, they suffered a shutout loss at 0-2. Lada struggles the most on the road, managing only one win all season, and that was against a clear underdog, Vityaz.
Disqualifications and Injuries
Lada fields almost a full squad, with only Andrei Altybarmakyan sidelined due to injury.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Lada averages eight penalty minutes per game
The Togliatti team plays disciplined hockey and rarely incurs penalties
- The Autoworkers average 28 shots on goal per match
Lada lacks scoring power, creating few dangerous chances and rarely testing the opposing goalie.
