Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist remains in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and has 60 points. Nikolai Zavarukhin charges improved at the start of the new calendar year and can break into second place if they continue to win. The Urals team currently has six wins in a row, and after a successful series on home ice, the machinists had a great away tour. Anatoly Golyshev team started with a victory in Moscow over Spartak (3:2), after which they crushed Salavat Yulaev (4:1) and calmly beat Sochi in the south of the country (2:1). The club from Yekaterinburg took the lead in the middle of the second period and did not let the opponent get close, finishing the meeting with the result they needed.
The hosts are still very dependent on the play of their goalies. Vladislav Galkin and Evgeny Alikin were not very good in December, but in 2025 they have shown reliability on the last line of defense. It is Galkin who appears on the court most often in January. He has won four victories for his partners and has a 92.58% save percentage this season.
Stefan Da Costa was recently the league top scorer. The Frenchman currently has 41 points (10+31) in the goal+pass system and continues to provide large amounts of assists to his teammates. He is followed by Brooks Macek, who has 34 scoring actions (16+18) and has been the most successful finisher of Avtomobilist attacks. The other players cannot yet boast of a strong offensive game.

Avangard is gradually gaining momentum and has already secured a good foothold among the eight best teams in the East. The club from Omsk Oblast has 51 points after 46 games. After the change of coach to Guy Boucher and the dismissal of Sergei Zvyagin, the visitors' results have become much better. The Hawks have won six games out of seven and have seriously improved their position in the conference table, but the Omsk team still needs to win a lot to get close to the conference leaders. The red-blacks played a series of matches on their home court with a bang, celebrating success in matches against Salavat Yulaev (3:2), Kunlun (3:2) and CSKA (4:0). The current away tour for the Siberians began with a rout in Ufa (0:4).

The team other players are worse and help in the attack less often.
In the five previous games, Avangard has conceded 13 times, which is not a very weak result. The Hawks recently signed Nikita Serebryakov, who has fit in well with the new team. The goalie has blocked 92.61% of shots in his possession, but has not yet had only one clean sheet. Now he is the main goalie of the club.

1.80Tip and bets
Avtomobilist has won six games in a row, but this does not mean that Nikolay Zavarukhin team cannot be beaten now. During this season, the Urals team beat the Siberians twice, but the visitors changed their coach to Canadian specialist Guy Boucher and significantly improved the quality of their hockey. Avangard has been showing strong play since the beginning of the new calendar year and suffered only one defeat in January. We think that the Hawks will give their opponent a worthy fight and achieve success on the ice of Uralets Arena. We offer a bet on the victory of the second in the match.
Prediction - Avangard wins the match for 2.05
Bet on individual total
Avangard has not been playing very confidently in attack on the road during the season, but in January the Hawks scored at least three times on the road in three out of four matches. Avtomobilist plays a little worse in defense at home and concedes more often in Yekaterinburg. The hosts are often sent off, so the black and reds will have enough chances to upset the Urals at least three times.
We bet on Avangard individual total of over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.20
Total Bet
The first match of the season between the teams was not productive, but in the two previous games the teams scored six goals. Avtomobilist plays in a closed style, but the Omsk team should open the meeting. Avangard will force the events and force the Urals team to act without the middle zone. We expect at least five goals scored from this match. Let play a bet on the total over.
We take the total over 4.5 pucks for 1.75
