Command Analysis

Admiral Vladivostok

Current form
Admiral was on the decline for a long time, and the series of defeats reached three matches in a row, however, in most of them the team was as close to success as possible. The team played on the road, where they were able to impose a decent fight on Traktor and led 2-0 before the start of the third period. But due to several defensive errors, the Eastern Conference leader first equalized the score, and then pulled Victoria out in a shootout (3:2). Next, the Vladivostok team went to Avangard, where they could not cope with the powerful pressure of Omsk and were defeated by a three-goal difference (1:4). Goalkeeper Mishurov tried his best, but in the end he deflected 35 shots out of 39. Returning to the home arena, the club also scored just one point. I had to fight an opponent of my level, in the person of Siberia, and was defeated in overtime (3:4). What is especially noteworthy is that in three periods we managed to make 44 shots at the Snowflakes' goal, but this was not enough.
Continuing to perform in their native walls, the "sailors" nevertheless interrupted this series of failures, but they won the victory over Barys with great difficulty. Once again, Admiral had a significant advantage, but could not hold it, conceding two goals in the final twenty minutes, allowing the Kazakhstanis to put the match into overtime. In the end, the team still achieved its goal and snatched Victoria in extra time (4:3). The forwards Roosters and Gutik showed their best, scoring two points each. As expected, the team consolidated its success in the next meeting with a clear outsider, in the person of Amur, also snatching a victory in overtime (2:1). As you can see, the club has been experiencing difficulties in every meeting lately, but the points scored allow it to remain in the playoff zone, occupying seventh place in the Eastern Conference table.

Avangard Omsk

Current form
After the return of head coach Boucher, Avangard continues to show excellent results and consistently earns points for four consecutive matches. In the final match of the home series, the team left no chance for Barys, defeating him with a score of 5:1. Omsk skillfully took advantage of their opponent's weak side and throughout the match created a huge number of dangerous moments in his zone and consistently implemented them. In particular, it is worth praising striker Okulov, who scored a double. Next, the club went to play on the road, where it met with a much more serious competitor in the person of Dinamo Minsk and was one step away from defeat. Due to constant defensive failures, it was not possible to maintain the advantage, allowing the opponent to equalize the score just three minutes before the final whistle. Nevertheless, the Hawks put the squeeze on the Bison in a shootout (5:4). This time, it's difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
However, the club was unable to consolidate its success. In the duel with CSKA, Avangard created a huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent's zone and scored a total of 46 shots at the Muscovites' goal, but only one of them turned out to be effective. The most exciting was the end of the match, Omsk played for almost six minutes in a row in the majority, and two of them in the 3X5 format, but this was not enough to win. As a result, it came to a shootout, where they had to suffer an insulting defeat (1:2). They managed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans at Lada, where the hawks also did not realize their attacking potential to the fullest, but two goals were enough for success (2:1). Thanks to the momentum gained, the team was able to strengthen in the playoff zone and currently occupies the sixth place in the Eastern Conference table.

It is hard to believe that the Admiral is capable of giving a worthy rebuff to such a powerful opponent in the upcoming duel. Yes, Vladivostok residents often show their best side at home, but we must not forget that the club is struggling to earn points and even in fights with obvious outsiders is experiencing serious difficulties. The Hawks, in turn, have gained excellent form and are clearly not going to stop there. So we suggest betting in their favor for an excellent coefficient.
Our forecast is that Avangard will win in 2.37
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Omsk has recently started to show a very active offensive game, but Admiral has been having constant defensive problems throughout the regular season. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Forecast - total more than five goals in 1.73
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Avangard will start putting serious pressure on their opponent from the very first minutes of the match. Given Admiral's weak defensive play, he may well allow the Hawks to gain an advantage after the start, which is what we suggest betting on.
The forecast is that Avangard will win in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.78
