Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist has been among the leaders of the East throughout the regular season and it is very difficult to remember the moment when the Urals team left the top three teams in the conference. Now the hosts are in excellent shape and have a series of six victories in a row. Today, the club from Yekaterinburg has 34 points after 24 starts. In November, Anatoly Golyshev team started with a victory over Neftekhimik (3:2), after which they went on an away tour. The Machinists took points from Astana (3:1), Khabarovsk (3:2) and Vladivostok (4:3, B), demonstrating excellent implementation of moments. Avto bounced back in the score three times during the meeting with the Sailors and ultimately finished off Leonid Tambiev team in a shootout.
Despite a large number of losses in the attacking line, the hosts can boast of good offensive performance in November. Avtomobilist has scored 18 accurate hits in the previous five matches, and Stephane Da Costa has become the sole leader in the number of points scored. Currently, the French forward has 22 points (4+18), and he is the best assist provider in the KHL.
Evgeny Alikin is struggling to maintain his status as Avto number one goalie. Young Vladislav Galkin has two shutouts in 13 starts and could send the more experienced goalie to the bench in the very near future.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anatoly Golyshev, Daniil Romantsev, Curtis Volk and Nikita Ishimnikov will not help their partners in the game against Admiral.
Interesting trends for betting
- "Auto" concedes an average of 2.29 goals per match
The team is showing excellent play in defense, in particular, the efforts of goalkeepers Galkin and Alikin should be praised.
- Yekaterinburg residents receive nine penalty minutes per match
But the team has problems with discipline, which often leads to deletions.
Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
Admiral is in fifth place in the East and is seriously planning to play in the playoffs next spring. Leonid Tambiev team has earned 29 points in 26 games and is one of the best in the league in terms of play on home ice. At the same time, the "sailors" are performing rather poorly on the road and have only managed to earn ten points in 13 away games. The team from Vladivostok is heading to the Urals after an extremely successful series of games at Fetisov Arena. The "Anchors" started with a defeat to Metallurg (2:3, OT), but then beat Avangard (3:2, OT) and Traktor (4:3, OT) in turn, and in the last game they were very close to winning against Avto (3:4, SO). The guests took the lead three times, but were unable to hold on to the desired result until the final siren.
Libor Šulak and his teammates have been doing well in attack this month. Admiral have scored 15 times in the last five games, which is three goals per game on average. The biggest contributor to the team success is Daniil Gutik, who was recently among the top ten scorers in the league. The young forward currently has 19 points (5+14) in the goal+pass system.
Vasily Demchenko and Andrey Mishurov continue to share the role of the first goalkeeper of the "sailors". The more experienced Demchenko appears on the ice a little more often, but in terms of numbers the young goalkeeper is no better than his colleague, and in some ways even more successful.
Disqualifications and injuries
Admiral has no problems with its roster; all of the club’s leaders are in action and ready to take to the ice.
Interesting trends for betting
- Admiral averages 2.85 goals per game
The Sailors have not yet been able to establish their attacking game on the road and rarely delight fans with productive hockey on the road.
- The Far Easterners conceded 18 goals while shorthanded.
The visitors are not performing well when short-handed and are conceding a lot of goals.
Trends
Bet 2nd period: total under 1.5 goals
In the last four matches involving Avto, the second period was not productive
1.92Bet 3rd period: Avtomobilist will score
The Machinists have scored in the third period in six previous games
1.45Tip and bets
Avtomobilist has gained great momentum and even without its leading attackers, it has shown quality hockey in the Far East. The hosts have a series of six wins in a row, and they have scored at least three goals in all games since the end of October. Admiral is also good, but Leonid Tambiev charges usually have a hard time in their first away games. Both teams are traveling to Yekaterinburg after a meeting in Vladivostok and are in roughly the same position. We think that the "sailors" will not be able to score as many goals on the ice of Uralets Arena and will not take points in regulation time. We offer a bet on a victory for the hosts.
Our prediction is Avtomobilist victory at 1.87
Bet on total
The teams will try to regroup after the productive game in Vladivostok. Admiral is good in attack only at Platinum Arena, and Avtomobilist does not score that many goals at home. We believe that the coaching staffs of the teams will work on their mistakes after the game in the Far East. We do not think that on November 16 the opponents will make more than five accurate shots again. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.75
Bet on individual total
"Admiral" fails to reveal its attacking potential in away games and therefore on average "sailors" score only 1.92 goals on the road. "Avtomobilist" has a strong goalie duo and at home it misses only 2.3 goals per match. We think that the visitors will not be able to make more than two accurate shots on the goal of the Ural team.
Forecast - Admiral individual total is less than two goals for 1.80
