Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist has risen to fourth place in the Eastern Conference and has 62 points after 47 starts. Nikolai Zavarukhin charges have 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 seven victories in a row, and after a successful series on home ice, the machinists had a great away tour. Anatoly Golyshev team began 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). After returning to Yekaterinburg, the hosts won a strong-willed victory over Avangard (2:1), although they spent most of the time on the defensive.
The Urals 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. In the second half of the month, Alikin appears on the ice more often. He was the hero of the match against the Omsk team and blocked 34 shots on his own territory.
Stefan Da Costa was recently the league top scorer. The Frenchman currently has 42 points (10+32) in the goal+pass system and continues to provide large amounts of assists to his teammates. He is followed by Brooks Macek, who has 35 scoring actions (17+18) and has been the most successful finisher of Avtomobilist attacks. The other players cannot yet boast of a strong offensive game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Curtis Wolk and Nick Ebert will not play in the next game.

Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada continues to fight for a place in the top eight in the East, but is still in ninth place in the conference. Togliatti has scored 42 points in 45 games and does not intend to give up in the battle to get into the final part of the tournament. As of today, they have two games in hand and are already five points behind Sibir, which is in eighth place. In the current home series of matches, Pavel Zubov charges have earned five points out of eight possible. They beat Barys (1:0), lost to Kunlun (2:3, OT), and then sensationally won against Dynamo Minsk (6:4). The Filiny finished the home series of matches weakly and after losing to Torpedo (2:3) were routed by Vityaz (2:6).
The club from the Samara Region plays inconsistently in attack and in six out of eight matches did not score more than twice in 60 minutes. Dmitry Kugryshev remains the top scorer and is still among the hundred most productive hockey players in the league. The Lada forward has scored 23 goals (8+15) and looks better than the other attackers of the guests.
Aleksandr Trushkov returned to the goal after a short rest and defended the Samara goal in the last three matches. The goalkeeper failed in all three games and missed 12 times in 160 minutes. Maxim Tretyak, who has been polishing the bench for a long time and does not show a strong level of hockey when he goes out on the ice, may get his chance.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pavel Koltygin and Nikita Popugaev will not be able to help their team in the game against Avtomobilist.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada takes 26 shots on goal per game
The hosts don't shoot much, trying to concede as few goals as possible, so their attacking performance is quite modest.
- Togliatti earns 7.42 minutes of penalty time on average per match
The Owls are often sent off, but they neutralize 80.7% of their opponents’ attempts to convert the extra man.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three previous games involving Lada, more than one goal was scored.
2.15Bet 3rd period: Lada will score
In four out of five matches, Lada scored in the third period
1.42Tip and bets
Avtomobilist has won seven games in a row and is currently showing its best hockey this season. Nikolay Zavarukhin charges dealt with very strong teams within the regulation time and started in Yekaterinburg with a strong-willed victory over Avangard, which should give the hosts even more confidence in their abilities. Lada, on the other hand, has slowed down after a bright start to January. The club from the Samara Region completely failed the end of the home series and conceded a lot. We think that the Urals team will easily score another two points. We are betting on the first team to win in regulation time.
Prediction - Avtomobilist win for 1.68
Bet on individual total
Avtomobilist wins thanks to a good defensive play, but in four of the last six games the Urals team managed to score at least three times in the opponents' goal. Lada has big problems in defense again and Mikhail Fisenko team made many mistakes in the last matches in Tolyatti. In two matches this season the machinists failed to score more than two times against the owls. We think that this trend will now be interrupted.
We bet on the individual total of Avtomobilist over 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.62
Total Bet
In the first two meetings this season, the teams scored only five goals between them. Both teams are playing much more effectively in the current part of the season and often delight hockey fans with bright matches. Avto will control the course of the match and force the guests to open up. We believe in a small shootout in this confrontation and at least five goals.
We take the total over 4.5 goals for 1.83
