Spartak vs. Admiral: KHL Match Prediction
Spartak will settle the score on home soil with Admiral on November 18. The Muscovites are in good shape and have won most of their previous matches, while the Vladivostok team, on the contrary, is on a two-game losing streak. In addition, the Sailors often do not play well away from home, but they ended their last match against the Red-Whites, which took place this season, in their favor. Will the hosts take revenge? What bet is better to make? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak is in second place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 37 points. The team has been showing fairly stable results for a month and has hardly allowed itself to lose points, especially in games with middling teams and outsiders. Not long ago, the red-and-whites, of course, lost, but they did so in a match with Lokomotiv (0:2), breaking their cool series of five victories. However, immediately after the defeat, they rehabilitated themselves and confidently dealt with Severstal on their home ice with a score of 4:1.
Let us emphasize that in most of the previous matches Spartak players were distinguished by a reliable game in defense and usually were left with no more than one or two missed goals, but at the same time in response they often scored at least three goals themselves. But if Alexey Zhamnov team plays well in the minority and has 83.1% neutralization of the opponent majority, then in the 5x4 format they need to improve, since today they have only 17.7% of implementation, which is a weak indicator for one of the main leaders of the West.
It is noteworthy that this season Spartak best period is the starting period, in which it has a 23:13 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded, although last year it showed itself well on the far benches, that is, in the second period.

Interesting trends for betting

Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
Admiral is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference and should be completely satisfied with its current position. The team has the opportunity to be in fifth place in the standings in the near future, but it should not relax under any circumstances, because the competition is off the charts. Recently, the Vladivostok team has been showing itself very well and earned points in six previous matches out of six. However, after successful home games against Avangard (3:2 OT) and Traktor (4:3 OT), they lost to Avtomobilist twice - first at home (3:4 SO) and then away (0:1), in the second case not having scored a single puck.
It is worth mentioning that while Leonid Tambiev team plays well in front of their fans, and on average even scores at least three or four goals, they have serious problems away from home, including scoring, as they usually don't score more than two goals. We should also note that Admiral is playing mediocrely in the final twenty minutes, with a 21:30 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded, and they clearly can't cope with the speed.
However, unlike their counterparts, the "sailors" make excellent use of their power play scoring opportunities. At the moment, they are in fourth place in the league in this indicator and have a 24.1% conversion rate.

2.00Tip and bets
We think that Spartak currently looks much more preferable than its counterpart. Moreover, Admiral has been experiencing serious problems with away games throughout the season and usually loses a lot of points. Spartak players have recently shown themselves to be on their best side and have finished most of the matches in their favor within 60 minutes. It is quite possible that with the support of the home stands they will be able to take revenge on the Sailors for their defeat at the end of last month, when the Muscovites lost in overtime.
Prediction - Spartak win for 1.65
Bet on individual total
"Admiral" shows very mediocre results when playing away, and usually cannot open the opponent defense more than once or twice. "Spartak", in turn, has greatly improved in defense and has begun to concede much less than before. Considering that the Vladivostok team will act as second fiddle and count on counterattacks, they are unlikely to score much.
We bet on Admiral individual total under 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.55
Total Bet
Previous matches involving Spartak were unproductive and ended with less than six goals. Admiral also does not take risks on the road and tries to pay more attention to defense, and on average does not score more than two goals. The red-and-whites began to play better in defense and in response began to concede much less. It is quite possible that the upcoming confrontation will also be "low-scoring".
We take the total under 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.88
