Avangard vs. Lada: KHL Match Prediction
Avangard will hold another match on October 31 at home, where it will meet Lada. Both teams have not been in the best shape lately and have lost quite a lot of points. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast in which they will tell about the clubs' latest matches, and also help decide on bets
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard continues its home series, which it did not start in the best way. In the first match, the team met with Spartak and after the end of the second period, it took a significant advantage of two goals, but was unable to hold on to it. As a result, the Muscovites made a comeback and snatched victory in regular time with a score of 6:5. Goalkeeper Proskuryakov played poorly, and had to be replaced in the third period, after another goal by the opponent. Continuing to play at home, the Omsk team played a match with the leader of the Eastern Conference, Traktor, and this time lost again due to lapses in defense (3:4). Discipline also let them down: the opponent scored two goals with an advantage of one player.
Next, the "hawks" hosted "Metallurg", and this meeting turned out to be one of the most exciting of the season, as the teams made 92 shots on goal. This time, goalkeeper Khomenko played in the frame, and showed himself from the best side, thanks to which they managed to snatch a victory in overtime (3:2). Indeed, this season, Avangard has not yet managed to improve its defensive game, which is why the club continues to remain outside the playoff zone, occupying the tenth line in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Avangard has problems with its roster. Forward Stanislav Galiev and defender Daniil Stepanov are in the infirmary, and goalkeeper Mikhail Berdin will definitely not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Avangard concedes 2.9 goals per match
Omsk defense has been seriously suffering this season, and the goalkeepers rarely put in a great performance.
- The Hawks converted 28% of their power play attempts.
At the moment, Avangard is one of the best clubs in terms of the extra player on the court.
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
This season has not started off well for Lada. The team has already played 20 matches and is currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The team has had a hard time earning points throughout the regular season, and the main reason for their failures is their low attacking performance, scoring an average of only 2.35 goals per match, which is naturally not enough to compete with the leaders of the standings. At the moment, the Togliatti team is also not in the best shape and is showing mixed results, sometimes losing to opponents of their level, sometimes celebrating a victory.
After an unsuccessful end to the away series and a defeat to Admiral (3:5), the team hosted Traktor at home and, as expected, lost again, but in overtime (1:2). The club was ready to celebrate the victory, but conceded an offensive goal just 30 seconds before the final whistle. However, it is worth noting that throughout the entire meeting, the Togliatti team did nothing but fight back in their own zone. Lada was able to achieve the desired result away from Neftekhimik, where they beat their opponents 3:0. Once again, goalkeeper Pod'yapolsky showed an excellent game, reflecting 43 shots, thereby getting a shutout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lada has no changes in the composition of injured players. Only striker Andrey Altybarmakyan is still in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada scores an average of 2.35 goals per match
Throughout the season, the team has had problems both creating and converting attacking chances.
- Togliatti residents receive an average of 7.5 penalty minutes per match
The team is distinguished by its very disciplined play and rarely breaks the rules.

1.75Tip and bets
Avangard is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, which is quite strange. The team has not been distinguished by outstanding results recently, but on the contrary, has only lost points. Home walls do not particularly help the Omsk team to achieve success, which is noticeable throughout the regular championship. Lada, in turn, is also not in the best shape, but a dry victory over Neftekhimik can give the club additional confidence in its strength, which will allow it to at least give a worthy rebuff to the Hawks.
Our prediction is a victory for Lada with a handicap of (+1) puck for 1.77
Bet on total
We believe that we shouldn't expect productive hockey in the upcoming match. Both teams have had problems creating attacking chances throughout the season and it unlikely that anything has changed significantly in such a short period.
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the outcome of the first period
It is worth considering that the first period is far from the most successful for Avangard. The team rarely manages to take advantage at the end of the opening period, which means that Lada should not allow the Hawks to win in the first twenty minutes.
Prediction - Lada will not lose in the first period for 1.60
