Command Analysis
Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
Admiral has completed its home series, which started very successfully. In the first two matches, the team met with Amur and won confidently twice with scores of 6:4 and 4:1, respectively. However, it is worth noting that the sailors did not play their best defense and allowed the Khabarovsk team to make a huge number of shots. As expected, the team could not continue to play in the same spirit. In the very first match with a serious opponent in the person of Moscow Dynamo, they had to suffer a defeat (2:4). Goalkeeper Mishurov did not show his best, he had to be replaced at the beginning of the second period after three goals were missed.
Then the Vladivostok team went to visit St. Petersburg SKA and this time they put up a decent fight, but still could not hold on to the advantage and ultimately allowed the "army men" to tie the score in the third period, and then lost in overtime (2:3). It seemed that after a good performance against the clear favorite, the club would be able to give a decent rebuff to an opponent of its level, in the person of "Sibir", but this time there were huge problems in defense, which led to another defeat (2:4). This time, goalie Konovalov did not show his best, reflecting 87% of the shots. Despite the lost points, the team continues to remain in sixth place in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the infirmary at Admiral, everything remains unchanged. The team continues to play without Grman.
Interesting trends for betting
- Admiral concedes an average of three goals per match
The Mariners continue to have problems on defense and are allowing too many goals.
- Vladivostok residents average 31 shots per match
The team tries to compensate for the deficiencies in defense by being active in attack.
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir began to recover from the slump and start scoring points again. The team finished the home series on a good note, but it started with disastrous performances. In the first match, the team met Avangard and showed a very weak game in defense, which is why they were unable to compensate for their weaknesses with their attacking performance and lost with a score of 3:5. The Novosibirsk team could not even give a worthy rebuff to the obvious underdog Amur, suffering a rout with a difference of four goals (1:5). Goalkeeper Krasotkin showed a weak game, reflecting only 85% of the shots.
However, in the final match of the home series, the team was able to play reliably in defense, thanks to which they won a confident victory over Admiral (4:2). Defenseman Murphy showed his best side, scoring a goal and also giving two assists. They managed to consolidate their success away to Barys, where the "snowflakes" did not miss a single goal, snatching a clean sweep (2:0). In particular, it is worth praising forward Kostin, who reflected 29 shots. Due to unstable results, the club continues to remain outside the playoff zone, and three points separate it from the eighth position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sibir has no problems with its roster. Only Gordeev is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Sibir scores 2.6 goals per match
The team is far from showing the best attacking performance and rarely realizes its potential.
- Novosibirsk residents realized 30% of their power play attempts
Oddly enough, the team remains the best in the entire league at converting numerical superiority.

2.05Tip and bets
Admiral returned to its home arena, where it traditionally shows its best hockey. Throughout the regular championship, the team has hardly lost at home, even to the obvious favorites, so it has an excellent chance to take revenge on Sibir for its away defeat. It cannot be said that the Novosibirsk team has gained excellent form, and in addition to this, it will not be easy for them to show their best side away from home, where the team performs very inconsistently. So we suggest betting on the favorite for an excellent coefficient.
