Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form Admiral played away for a long time, where they did not show the same confident play as at home. In five matches, the sailors were able to win only one victory over Lada with a score of 2:0. They managed to achieve success only due to a strong game in defense, as well as the efforts of goalkeeper Mishurov, who made his second shutout of the season. In the second match with the Togliatti team, Tambiev charges were also close to success, but had to lose in a shootout (0:1).
Returning to their home arena, the Vladivostok team played a match with Severstal, and it seemed that they would easily win, as they had already earned a three-goal advantage in the second period. But due to two consecutive penalties for Sokolov, the opponent fully returned to the game and tied the score, and then snatched victory in overtime (6:5).
Disqualifications and injuries One of Admiral best forwards, Stepan Starkov, was injured, but all the other players are fit. Interesting trends for betting
- Admiral concedes an average of 3.2 goals per match
This season, the Mariners are betting on the offensive line, but the defense is seriously suffering because of this.
- Admiral has converted 22% of its power play attempts this season.
The Vladivostok team demonstrates excellent play in the majority and consistently takes advantage of the opponent penalties.

Lada Togliatti

Current form Lada continues to have serious problems this season and has had a hard time earning points throughout the regular season. One of the main reasons for the club poor performance is its low offensive output, scoring an average of two goals per game, which is clearly not enough, given its far from reliable defense.
After a fairly successful performance at home and two victories over Admiral (1:0 SO) and Sibir (4:3 OT), the Avtozavodtsy went to visit Amur, where they were unable to consolidate their success and suffered a dry defeat in the first match (0:2). Once again, the attacking line played extremely poorly, and only managed to make 22 shots on target. In the return match with the Khabarovsk team, Lada was still able to find the key to the opponent defense, thanks to which they won a confident victory with a score of 5:3. In particular, it is worth praising forward Mikhailov, who scored an assist hat-trick.
Disqualifications and injuries The Tolyatti team is playing with almost its full fighting strength, and only striker Andrei Altybarmakyan remains in the infirmary. Interesting trends for betting
- Lada scores an average of two goals per match
As we have already noted, Togliatti is experiencing serious difficulties both in creating attacking opportunities and in realizing them.
- Lada converted only 13% of its power play attempts
Poor attacking play directly affects the performance of the extra player on the court, and in this regard the club is currently one of the weakest.

2.00Tip and bets
The teams have already met twice this season, and in both cases on the Lada rink, where the Togliatti team, thanks to the advantage of their home ice, gave a serious fight back, exchanging victories with Admiral. But now the "sailors" have returned to their home arena, which is a very important factor, since it is with the support of their stands that they show themselves in all their glory and consistently earn points throughout the regular championship. It is for this reason that we suggest betting in favor of the Vladivostok team.
Our forecast is “Admiral” victory in 2.19
Bet on total
The upcoming match should be productive, as Admiral demonstrates active attacking play at home and consistently creates a large number of dangerous moments, but the defense still leaves much to be desired, which will give Lada the opportunity to demonstrate its attacking potential.
Forecast - total over 4.5 goals for 1.77
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to the serious advantage of home walls, Admiral has an excellent chance to start putting pressure on Lada from the first period, which will ultimately allow the sailors to earn an advantage in the starting period.
Prediction: Admiral wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.63
