Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form
Admiral successfully completed a long away series, winning two confident victories over Salavat Yulaev (4:2) and Amur (5:2). Thanks to this, the team returned to the home arena in a good mood, but failed to please the fans in the first match. The Sailors met with a very serious opponent in the person of Metallurg and were one step away from another victory due to the realized majority at the end of the match, which allowed them to tie the score. However, in overtime they failed to create dangerous moments, conceding a puck in the second minute, thereby suffering an offensive defeat with a score of 2:3. It is worth noting that the team once again showed a very active game in attack, but there were problems with the implementation of shots.
Continuing to play on their home court, Tambiev team met with Avangard and this time played a little more reliably in defense, due to which they should have won in regulation time, but just two seconds before the final whistle, the Omsk team tied the score and transferred the game to overtime. Admiral was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, snatching victory in overtime (3:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Admiral is now playing in full combat strength. All players have recovered from injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the "sailors" allow 3.3 goals per match
Admiral used to have the most reliable defense in the league, but this season the team is relying on the attacking line, which has a negative impact on defense.
- Vladivostok residents realized 25% of their attempts on the majority
It is worth noting the team very confident play in attack, which allows it to consistently take advantage of the majority.

Traktor

Current form
Traktor has been in excellent shape for a long time, thanks to which it has beaten almost all opponents on its way. A series of successful performances allowed the Chelyabinsk team not only to take the lead in the Eastern Conference table, but also to earn a four-point advantage over its closest competitor, which allows it to remain in first place even during a downturn. Indeed, things have not been going so well for the team lately, especially in matches with the strongest clubs in the league.
Returning to their home arena, the Bears played Avtomobilist and had a good chance of success due to their effective attack, but still had to suffer a disappointing defeat with a score of 4:5. Goalkeeper Fucale showed his worst side, reflecting only 78% of the shots. Then the team met with a less serious competitor, in the person of Sibir, and was able to take advantage of the weak form of the opponent, defeating them dry (5:0). The most productive was forward Tkachev, who scored twice and also gave an assist. As expected, Traktor was unable to consolidate its success. Groo charges played a match with the leader of the Western Conference and lost to Lokomotiv with a difference of two goals (3:5). Once again, Fucale did not show the most reliable game.
Disqualifications and injuries
What is noteworthy is that Traktor continues to perform with almost its full complement.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Traktor scores 3.2 goals per match
The Bears are distinguished by their very high attacking efficiency, which allows them to achieve success.
- Chelyabinsk residents have conceded only nine goals while shorthanded throughout the entire season
Traktor also shows very confident play in the minority and consistently neutralizes the opponent’s numerical advantage.

Admiral performs best at home, where it has been consistently earning points throughout the season. What is noteworthy is that the “sailors” are capable of beating even clear favorites at home, which they have proven more than once. In the upcoming match, the team has just received an excellent opportunity to take advantage of their home court, which will allow them to give a worthy rebuff to Traktor. As you can see, after a long series of successful performances, the Chelyabinsk team has begun a natural decline, which will also affect the outcome of the meeting.
Our prediction is that Admiral will not lose at 1.95
