Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form
Admiral completed a five-game away series that did not start in the best way. In the first two games, the team met with Ak Bars and failed to show its attacking potential twice, losing with scores of 0:2 and 2:4, respectively. Then the team went to visit Salavat Yulaev, where they again tried to play open, attacking hockey, but did not realize their chances and suffered another defeat (1:2). However, in the return match with the Ufa team, active actions in the attack finally brought the desired result, winning a confident victory (4:2). They managed to consolidate their success away from home against Amur, where the Vladivostok team completely routed their opponents (5:0). Forwards Zavgorodniy and Radwald once again showed a great game, scoring three points each. Returning to their home arena, Tambiev team faced another powerful opponent in the form of Metallurg and, thanks to the support of their home crowd, were able to make a comeback, recovering from a 0:2 score and equalizing the score. It went to overtime, where they still had to suffer an offensive defeat. In general, Admiral has shown good results this season and is currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, with 24 points. The club main distinguishing feature is its very active attacking play, but there are often problems in defense.
Disqualifications and injuries
"Admiral" has no problems with the squad. All players are in the lineup, and the infirmary remains empty.
Interesting trends for betting
- Admiral concedes an average of three goals per match.
The Sailors have not yet been able to establish a defensive game, which often leads to a large number of goals conceded.
- On average, Vladivostok players take 33 shots per match
This season, Admiral is betting on attacking hockey and consistently creates a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone.

Avangard Omsk

Current form
Avangard played four matches at home, but their home walls did not help the team achieve the desired results. In the first two matches, the Hawks faced very serious opponents, Spartak and Traktor, losing twice by just one goal with a score of 5:6 and 3:4, respectively. It is worth noting that the team looked no worse than its competitors, but due to not the most reliable game in defense, they had to give in. The club was able to break the losing streak in the match with Metallurg, having snatched victory in overtime with great difficulty (3:2). Goalkeeper Khomchenko made a huge contribution to the success, repelling 44 shots out of 46. It is impossible not to mention forward Linden Vey, who managed to participate in all the goals scored. It seemed that the victory over the "foxes" would help "Avangard" gain confidence in their strength, due to which they would easily cope with "Lada", which is currently experiencing serious financial problems, which affects their game not for the better. However, the Omsk team performance was practically zero, which led to an unexpected defeat with a score of 1:3. The club was able to rehabilitate itself already playing on the road, where it also barely snatched a victory from the obvious outsider in the person of "Amur" (2:1). Indeed, so far this season has been extremely difficult for the "hawks", at the moment the team occupies only the tenth line in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
What is noteworthy is that Avangard has absolutely no problems with its roster; all players are in good shape.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Avangard scores 2.3 goals per match
The main reason for the club poor results remains its inactive attacking play.
- On average, the Hawks receive seven penalty minutes per game.
But the team has complete discipline, it rarely breaks the rules, which allows it to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.

2.30Tip and bets
Bookmakers cannot single out a favorite in the upcoming match and give approximately equal odds for the teams to win. However, it is worth considering that Admiral will play at home, where, with the support of fans, it shows its best side and almost never loses. It is also worth noting the form of Avangard. The club has been experiencing problems throughout the season and rarely shows a very confident game, as was the case in the matches with Traktor and Spartak. We believe that problems with the effectiveness will not allow the Hawks to achieve success, and we bet in favor of the home team. Our prediction is Admiral victory in the match for 1.88
Bet on total
Don't expect a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match. Avangard will try to play as reliably as possible in defense again, and in face-to-face meetings the clubs rarely please fans with productive hockey.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.82
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to the home advantage, Admiral should play first and create serious pressure on Avangard, which will allow them to earn an advantage in the starting period.
Forecast - Admiral wins the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.80
