Command Analysis
Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
After a failed away series, Admiral returned to their home arena, where they continued to lose points. In the first match, the team met Severstal and had a significant advantage of three goals by the equator of the second period, but completely lost it by the end of the match, which allowed the opponent to transfer the game to overtime. In extra time, the sailors were unable to show their best side, losing with a final score of 5:6. It seemed that in the match with Lada, Tambiev charges would be able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, but this did not happen. In the first two periods, the Vladivostok team looked much better, but in the third twenty minutes they conceded as many as five goals, which led to a rout (1:6). Both goalies Konovalov and Demchenko showed their worst side.
In the return match with the Togliatti team, Admiral played much more reliably in defense and this time demonstrated its attacking potential, which together allowed it to take revenge, winning with a score of 5:3. This time, fourth-line forward Osnovin distinguished himself, scoring twice. So far, the team is only in seventh place in the Eastern Conference table, but it is worth noting that the sailors are only two points behind third place.

Admiral is playing with almost its full fighting squad, and of the injured players, only striker Stepan Starkov remains.
Interesting trends for betting
- Admiral concedes an average of 3.4 goals per match

Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Overall, the start of the season for Spartak has been very successful. The team continues to earn points consistently, which is why it is in second place in the Western Conference table, although it is still very far from the lead, since the difference with Lokomotiv is six points. The main advantage of the Muscovites remains their very active and effective attacking play, on average they score 3.1 goals per match, which helps compensate for the lapses in defense.
At the moment, the "red-whites" are playing an away series, which they started with a 0:5 defeat by Moscow Dynamo. The decisive factor was the club very undisciplined play, which did not allow them to return to the fight for points, having conceded four goals while shorthanded. Away from Avangard, they still managed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, snatching a victory from Avangard in regular time (6:5). Once again, the team defense did not play its best, but this time the attacking line pleased, and in particular, it is worth praising forward Ruzicka, who scored a hat-trick and also gave an assist. They managed to consolidate their success in a match with Amur, winning their second victory with a difference of one goal (5:4). This time, Poryadin distinguished himself, scoring three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Spartak will play in the upcoming match with its full squad, as all players are fit and the infirmary remains empty.
Interesting trends for betting
- Spartak receives an average of 6.6 penalty minutes per match
The Muscovites demonstrate a very disciplined defensive game and rarely break the rules, which allows them to play with a full squad for almost the entire match.

1.50Tip and bets
It is quite expected that bookmakers have little faith in Admiral victory in the upcoming match. Indeed, the "sailors" showed amazing results at home at the start of the season, but at the moment the team cannot repeat the same successes and constantly experiences serious problems. First of all, this is due to the poor play of the Vladivostok team in defense, which is the main reason for the defeats. Spartak, in turn, continues to please fans with away victories, which is quite capable of doing in the match with Admiral. We believe that there is no point in taking risks, and it is better to bet on the clear favorite.
Our prediction is Spartak victory at 2.02
Bet on total
The upcoming match is simply bound to be productive, as both teams cannot boast of reliable play in defense this season and prefer to rely on the attacking line, which allows them to compensate for the lapses in defense.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.92
Bet on the outcome of the first period
"Admiral" is still quite capable of putting up a decent fight against "Spartak" at the start of the match due to the home advantage. We believe that the Vladivostok team will not lose in the first twenty minutes, which is what we suggest betting on.
Forecast - Admiral will not lose in the first period for 1.50
