Admiral vs. Spartak. KHL match prediction and bets

Current form

After a failed away series, Admiral returned to their home arena, where they continued to lose points. In the first match, the team met Severstal and had a significant advantage of three goals by the equator of the second period, but completely lost it by the end of the match, which allowed the opponent to transfer the game to overtime. In extra time, the sailors were unable to show their best side, losing with a final score of 5:6. It seemed that in the match with Lada, Tambiev charges would be able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, but this did not happen. In the first two periods, the Vladivostok team looked much better, but in the third twenty minutes they conceded as many as five goals, which led to a rout (1:6). Both goalies Konovalov and Demchenko showed their worst side.

In the return match with the Togliatti team, Admiral played much more reliably in defense and this time demonstrated its attacking potential, which together allowed it to take revenge, winning with a score of 5:3. This time, fourth-line forward Osnovin distinguished himself, scoring twice. So far, the team is only in seventh place in the Eastern Conference table, but it is worth noting that the sailors are only two points behind third place.

Current form

Overall, the start of the season for Spartak has been very successful. The team continues to earn points consistently, which is why it is in second place in the Western Conference table, although it is still very far from the lead, since the difference with Lokomotiv is six points.

At the moment, the "red-whites" are playing an away series, which they started with a 0:5 defeat by Moscow Dynamo. The decisive factor was the club very undisciplined play, which did not allow them to return to the fight for points, having conceded four goals while shorthanded. Away from Avangard, they still managed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, snatching a victory from Avangard in regular time (6:5). Once again, the team defense did not play its best, but this time the attacking line pleased, and in particular, it is worth praising forward Ruzicka, who scored a hat-trick and also gave an assist. They managed to consolidate their success in a match with Amur, winning their second victory with a difference of one goal (5:4). This time, Poryadin distinguished himself, scoring three points.
