Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form
After a successful home series, Admiral went on an away trip, where, unfortunately for the club fans, it failed to please with a good game. In five matches, the team managed to win only one victory over Lada (2:0), taking advantage of the opponent not-so-best form. Goalkeeper Mishurov made a big contribution to the success, reflecting all the shots, getting his second shutout of the season. In the remaining matches, there were huge problems with scoring in the attack, which became the main reason for the failures. The Vladivostok team suffered crushing defeats from Sochi (0:5) and Minsk Dynamo (2:7), and also failed to cope with Traktor (0:2).
What is noteworthy is that at the start of the season the team consistently showed a very active game in attack and realized its potential, which allowed it to compete with all rivals and even with clear favorites, which was beyond its power to do on the road. Due to the large number of lost points, Admiral has already dropped to eighth place in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the upcoming match, the "sailors" will be playing with almost their full fighting strength, and of the injured players, only striker Stepan Starkov remains.
Interesting trends for betting
- Admiral averages 2.7 goals per game
Due to the disastrous away series, the Vladivostok team seriously worsened their performance statistics.
- The Mariners converted 22.6% of their power play attempts.
The team continues to show excellent play in the majority and consistently takes advantage of opponents' penalties.

Severstal Cherepovets

Current form
Severstal has been showing mixed results lately. The Cherepovets team ended their away series with an unexpected defeat to the clear underdog Sochi, losing without scoring (0:1). Returning to their home arena, the steelmakers fully rehabilitated themselves before the fans, defeating one of the most powerful rivals in the league, snatching victory from St. Petersburg SKA with a score of 4:3. The third line showed a great game, and in particular, it is worth praising forwards Kruchinin and Skorenov, who scored three points each.
Kozyrev team managed to consolidate their success in a duel with Minsk Dynamo, winning in a shootout (3:2). The Cherepovets team created a huge number of moments in attack, although they themselves were not very reliable in defense. It seemed that after two victories in a row and a moral upsurge, the club would be able to cope with Kunlun without any problems, but this did not happen. Severstal looked much better than its opponent, but was unable to realize its potential in attack, not one of 41 shots reached the target, which led to a dry defeat (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Severstal have some minor problems in defense, defenders Makar Fomin and Yannin Kaldis remain in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
