Avangard vs. Admiral: KHL match betting tip

Current form

Avangard was in excellent shape for a long time and even managed to earn a winning streak of seven games in a row, with almost all of them ending in regulation time. Serious problems arose only in the match with Severstal due to constant lapses in defense and the weak play of the goalkeeper, which almost led to defeat. As a result, it came down to a series of shootouts, in which they still managed to snatch another victory with a score of 6:5. What is especially noteworthy is that during its long rise, the club dealt not only with outsiders, but also consistently beat the strongest opponents, such as CSKA, Ak Bars and Salavat Yulaev. One of the main reasons for such successful performances is the return of head coach Bushe, who was able to give the team the right attitude and return it to the fight for a confident entry into the playoff zone.

However, the long rise was followed by a natural decline. After successfully completing the home series, the Hawks went to play away, where they played a return match with Salavat and this time were unable to show their attacking potential at all, suffering a dry defeat (0:4). Over three periods, they managed to make only 26 shots at the opponent goal and none of them reached the target. The defensive line also showed its worst side, which time after time allowed the opponent to create dangerous moments in their zone. Then Avangard went to visit Avtomobilist, where they were almost able to rehabilitate themselves and regain the lost points. The team played much more actively in attack, but realized only one shot out of 35, and in the end lost with a difference of only one puck (1:2). Still, it is worth noting that due to such a long rise, the Hawks were able to settle in the playoff zone and now occupy the sixth line in the Eastern Conference table, having 51 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

What is especially noteworthy is that Avangard continues to experience huge problems with its roster. The club currently has six players in the infirmary: Boykov, Galimov, Grant, Soloviev, Stepanov and Tkachev.
