Command Analysis
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Metallurg is in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and continues to gradually improve its position. The team continues to please fans with excellent results. It is safe to say that it is currently in its best condition for the entire season and clearly does not plan to stop there. Let us recall that it has suffered only one defeat in the entire month, and is currently on a series of six victories.
At the same time, most of the victories are achieved in a tough fight, and the foxes achieve success with a difference of one puck or outside of regulation time. Before the holidays, they managed to beat Avangard at home (2:1 OT), and on the road they dealt with Avtomobilist (2:1 SO) and again won over the Omsk team (2:1). After returning to the ice, Magnitogorsk played a home match with Amur, in which they celebrated a victory with a score of 3:2.
It is worth mentioning that Magnitka has begun to pay much more attention to defense, due to which in many matches they manage with no more than one or two missed pucks. True, Andrei Razin's team does not score much themselves, but they use their chances well. Usually, the third twenty minutes are the most successful for them, in which they have a ratio of 34:27 in goals scored and missed. True, Metallurg still has problems with the majority, and it has only 17.3% of the extra man conversion rate, which is a bad indicator for one of the leaders of the table.

Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Admiral is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Overall, it should be happy with its current position in the table, as the club should easily make it to the playoffs unless it continues to lose match after match. The team has already faced similar periods of failure this season, but has always come out of difficult situations with its head held high. It is quite possible that this time it will be able to improve its game and, accordingly, its results.
As a rule, Vladivostok residents have a hard time playing on foreign courts, and they achieve most of their victories with the support of their home stands. At the moment, they are on a series of four losses. Even before the holidays, the sailors lost to the capital's Dynamo (2:4), SKA (2:3 OT) and Sibir (2:4) on the road, and, returning to their home ice, they again lost to Novosibirsk with a score of 0:1, while for the first time in a long time they were left without a single goal scored.
However, it is important to mention that Leonid Tambiev's team had more than a week to recuperate and rest after this, so perhaps this break will do them good. The Admiral's strong point is the majority, as they have been very good at using the numerical advantage throughout the season and currently have a 24.2% power play conversion rate, ranking third in the league.

2.10Tip and bets
In our opinion, Metallurg should not lose two points in this confrontation. The Foxes are superior to their opponents in class and are still in great shape, even if they win with a minimal difference in the score. Admiral looks very weak on the road and often loses within 60 minutes. Plus, it will be difficult for the Vladivostok team to recover after such a long rest, so they may simply not have time to catch the rhythm of the game. Based on this, we suggest betting on the success of the formal favorite.
Betting Tip - Metallurg win for 1.70
Bet on individual total
Metallurg manages in most cases with a minimum number of missed pucks and usually does not allow the opponent to score more than one or two times. Admiral shows mediocre results on the road and usually cannot score even two goals in matches with the leaders. By the way, in none of the five previous face-to-face matches did the sailors score more than two goals, so it makes sense to try to take their total.
We bet on Admiral's individual total of less than two goals for 1.77
Total Bet
The matches involving Metallurg are quite low-scoring and often have fewer than six goals scored. Andrey Razin's team is constantly working on its discipline and is extremely attentive to the actions in defense. At the same time, the Foxes themselves have a minimal number of goals and show modest results for one of the conference leaders. Based on this, we suggest betting on the total under in this matchup.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.70
