Avtomobilist - Admiral: KHL match betting tip
Admiral continues its away series of games in the Urals with a match against Avtomobilist on January 9. The hosts had a hard time beating Barys the day before, while the Far Easterners grabbed points in Magnitogorsk and were very close to success. Both teams are in the playoff zone in the East and intend to improve their position. Who will get an important victory on the ice of Uralets Arena? Read about it in our betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist dropped to fifth place in the Eastern Conference and has 50 points. The team was recently on a long winning streak, after which it is expected to be on the decline. In December, the hosts won only two victories, while they lost nine of the previous 11 matches. After an unsuccessful long series of away games, Nikolay Zavarukhin's charges returned home and played against Traktor (3:1), Metallurg (1:2, B) and Lada (2:3, B). The machinists returned to the Urals having lost in Chelyabinsk (0:2) and taken two points in Astana (3:2, B). The then guests were leading during the meeting, but ultimately achieved success only in the shootout series.
Anatoly Golyshev's team is still very dependent on the play of their goalies. Vladislav Galkin and Evgeny Alikin have lost their former form and have not been helping out their partners lately. The younger Galkin brought important victories from a psychological point of view in Yaroslavl, Yekaterinburg and Astana, and now he has better statistics. The Ural alumnus has reflected 92.72% of shots this season and made three shutouts in 23 games.
Stefan Da Costa was recently the league's top scorer. The Frenchman currently has 36 points (8+28) in the goal+pass system and continues to provide assists to his teammates in large quantities. He is followed by Brooks Macek, who has 30 scoring actions (15+15) and has been the most successful finisher of Avtomobilist's attacks.

Curtis Wolk and Nick Ebert will not play in the next game.

Admiral Vladivostok
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Far Eastern team continues to chase the leading group in the East and is currently in seventh place in the conference. The team under the command of Leonid Tambiev earned 43 points in 42 matches, and can well fight for higher positions. In December, the sailors played very little and started the winter well, but seriously lost at the end. Now the guests have five defeats in a row. After two defeats from Siberia (2:4 and 0:1), Admiral went on another away tour. It began with a misfire in Magnitogorsk, where Libor Šulak's team could well have taken two points. They led in the score three times, but ultimately lost in a shootout (3:4, B).
The Vladivostok club still has a negative goal difference of 112:122. However, at this stage of the season, Libor Šulak's team has been playing quite reliably and has conceded only 14 times in the previous five matches. Andrei Mishurov remains the main goalkeeper of the Far Eastern team. The goalkeeper has reflected 91.53% of shots and has had three clean sheets.
Young talent Daniil Gutik continues to fight for a place among the top ten scorers in the KHL. The forward has scored 33 points (14+19) in the goal+pass system and currently occupies 18th place in the league's scoring race.

Artem Nikolaev will not come to Yekaterinburg.

1.88Tip and bets
Avtomobilist is not demonstrating a strong level of play and is not performing well on home ice during the current regular season. Nikolai Zavarukhin's charges score little and mainly rely on their goalies. Admiral started the away game with a good match against Metallurg and was able to score three times against one of the best teams in the league at the moment. The visitors really want to break their losing streak, so we think that they will at least not be routed on the ice of Uralets Arena.
Betting Tip - Admiral's victory with Asian handicap (+1) for 1.72
Bet on individual total
Avto was not always good in defense in late December and early January. Vladislav Galkin took the place of the hosts' main goalkeeper, but he has not been able to win matches on his own. The admiral scored three goals against the Foxes and made great use of his chances. We believe that the sailors will upset the machinists at least twice in Yekaterinburg.
We bet on Admiral's individual total over 1.5 goals for 1.55
Total Bet
Matches involving Avtomobilist are rarely productive, but Admiral performs quite brightly away from home. The sailors have played four out of five away games with a total over. We think that the visitors will force the opponent to open up and the match will not be too boring. We expect at least five accurate shots from the teams for both. Let's play a bet on a total over.
We take the total over 4.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.77
