Head-to-head statistics Lada - Shanghai Dragons
Lada Team Overview
Lada are going through a tough spell. With inconsistent performances, the team from Tolyatti alternates between wins and losses. Their average scoring rate stands at 2.3 goals per game-not bad for a team at their level. However, their defense is clearly struggling, conceding an average of 3.51 goals per match, which doesn't inspire much confidence. While they fare slightly better at home, their defense is still unreliable, with an average of 3.15 goals allowed. In their last five games against the Shanghai team, they consistently score more than 0.5 goals in the third period. Sunday's game will be crucial for Tomas Jurco and Tyler Graovac, both of whom previously played for Kunlun.
Match Results: Lada
Shanghai Dragons Team Overview
The Shanghai Dragons are clearly not in peak form at the moment. Over their last five matches, they've managed just a single victory, and that was beyond regulation time. The team averages 2.5 goals per game, but their defense leaves much to be desired, conceding approximately 3.35 goals per match. They are particularly vulnerable on the road, where their average goals conceded soar to 3.83. However, there's an interesting trend: despite their defensive frailties, the Dragons consistently hit the over 4.5 goals mark in away games. On Friday, Mitch Love's squad battled fiercely against CSKA Moscow but ultimately fell short in a high-scoring affair, which dashed their playoff hopes. On Sunday, they might play with more freedom.
