Avangard vs. Admiral: KHL Match Prediction
On November 22, Avangard will play at home again, where this time they will meet Admiral. The Sailors continue to be in poor shape, which the Omsk team will try to take advantage of. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast in which they will describe the clubs' latest matches and also select the most relevant bets
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard still can't start earning points consistently, alternating victories with defeats. The team started the home series very successfully and in the first match won against one of the strongest clubs in the league, St. Petersburg SKA (2:1). They managed to achieve success due to the excellent play of goalie Khomchenko, who reflected 33 shots out of 34. However, they failed to show the same reliable play in defense in the match with Moscow Dynamo, which led to a 3:5 defeat. This time Khomchenko showed his worst side, reflecting only 77% of the shots. The attacking line tried its best to correct the situation, but could not compensate for the large number of missed pucks.
The Hawks were able to redeem themselves in front of the fans in a match with a less serious opponent, snatching victory from Neftekhimik in overtime (3:2). Zvyagin charges should have won in regular time, but they missed an unfortunate goal just a couple of minutes before the final whistle. It seemed that the team would also be able to give a worthy rebuff to Minsk Dynamo, but once again the defensive line failed, which this time led to a rout (2:5). Due to unstable results, the club has not been able to rise above the tenth line in the Eastern Conference table, having only 22 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Avangard still has problems with its roster. Goalkeeper Mikhail Berdin and defenders Sergei Boykov and Daniil Stepanov are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Avangard scores 2.36 goals per match
Omsk continues to have huge problems both with creating and converting attacking opportunities.
- The Hawks converted 25% of their power play attempts.
Despite problems with scoring, the team continues to consistently capitalize on its numerical superiority.
Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
Admiral did not finish another long home series in the best way. The team hosted Avtomobilist and was one step away from a third victory in a row, but this time they had to lose in a shootout (3:4). Remarkably, the sailors were confidently moving towards success, but allowed their opponent to equalize the score just five minutes before the final whistle. The return match with the Yekaterinburg team was away, where the Vladivostok team was unable to demonstrate its attacking potential and lost dry (0:1). In three periods, they managed to make only 24 shots on goal, which, of course, was not enough.
Then Tambiev charges went to visit Spartak, where they suffered a complete rout with a score of 1:6. This time, the entire defensive line, as well as both goalies, showed a terrible game, who managed to reflect only 80% of the shots. It was again impossible to break the series of away defeats in the match with Severstal. Admiral seemed to have forgotten that throughout the regular championship it had been relying on the attacking line, and sat in defense for the entire match, but this led to another failure (1:2). As you can see, the team still earns points mainly at home and constantly experiences problems on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Admiral has virtually no problems with its roster. Only defender Semyon Ruchkin is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Admiral takes 31.5 shots on goal per match
This season, the Sailors are mainly relying on the attacking line and trying to create a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone.
- On average, the team concedes three goals per match
But Vladivostok has serious problems with its defensive line, which leads to defeats.

2.05Tip and bets
Avangard has received an excellent opportunity to regain lost points. In the upcoming match, the team will host a far from serious opponent in the person of Admiral, which also has serious problems with away matches. Indeed, this season, as in the previous ones, the "sailors" often suffer losses on the road and mainly achieve the desired result only at home, which means that it will be very difficult to cope with the "hawks". It is especially worth considering the number of shots the "sailors" have made in recent matches. The team has stopped playing on the counter courses and is now sitting back in defense, which does not have a positive effect on the final results. So we suggest not to take risks and bet on the clear favorite.
Our prediction is Avangard victory at 1.77
Bet on total
It seems that we shouldn't expect a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Admiral has started to experience serious problems both with creating and implementing moments in attack, and Omsk has been suffering from this throughout the regular championship. So, as a second bet, we choose total under.
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals for 1.69
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to the home advantage and Admiral weak away play, Avangard has every chance of creating serious problems for the Vladivostok team at the start of the match and is quite capable of earning an advantage at the end of the opening period.
Prediction - Avangard wins in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.50
