Amur Khabarovsk vs Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Prediction 4 December 2025
🔊 Amur Khabarovsk will host Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on their home ice. The hosts are enduring a series of setbacks, barely clinging to a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the visitors have hit a full-fledged slump in the second half of November, losing their top position in the Western Conference. We're in for a clash between two teams, each eager to change their trajectory in the standings.
Head-to-Head
This season, the opponents have already faced each other, and it was quite recent. In the third week of November, Lokomotiv couldn't handle the pressure from Amur at home and fell 4-6. The clash was highly intense, with at least three goals scored in each period. The biggest contributor to his team's success was the current hosts' forward, Evgeny Svechnikov, who managed to score twice and provide an assist.
Head-to-head statistics Amur Khabarovsk - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
The club from Khabarovsk has hit a real slump at the end of November. The home side have suffered four consecutive defeats, including two on their own turf. They've managed to hold onto a top-8 spot in the East primarily due to numerous slip-ups by their rivals. However, this is unlikely to last for long. Especially since they can't boast impressive scoring (with just 71 goals) or solid defense (conceding 88). With these stats, competing for a playoff spot will be extremely challenging for the hosts.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Team Overview
Bob Hartley's squad hit a rough patch in the latter half of November, suffering five defeats in their last six games. This slump saw them lose their top spot in the Western Conference standings, though they remain within the playoff bracket. Whether this constitutes a full-blown crisis is debatable, but the issues facing the team from Yaroslavl are becoming increasingly apparent. Statistically, however, the visitors still rank among the elite. They've scored 98 goals while conceding just 72, both of which are among the best figures in this section of the standings.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Amur: Dorozhko - Mishchenko, Dyblenko - Lee, Broadhurst, Galchenyuk
Lokomotiv: Isaev - Bereglazov, Yelesin - Radulov, Ivanov, Surin
🥅 Goalkeepers
Amur's goalkeeper Maksim Dorozhko continues to shine despite his team's struggles. The former Vityaz player boasts a save percentage of 93.2% and has notched four shutouts across 30 games. He's certainly among the frontrunners for the best goaltender accolade this season.
Lokomotiv's netminder Daniil Isaev maintains a solid standard of play. With a save percentage of 91.7% and one shutout to his name, Isaev's standout trait remains his remarkable composure, which helps him avoid major slumps-a crucial asset for his teammates.
Editorial Prediction
Current struggles faced by both clubs are directly impacting the scoring in their matches, and not in a good way-entertainment value has noticeably declined. For instance, in nine of Amur's last ten home games, there have been no more than five goals scored. A similar pattern is evident in seven of Lokomotiv's last eight away fixtures. Both teams aim to minimize risks, hoping to break their streak of poor results. We believe these trends are likely to continue in Khabarovsk. Our bet is on total goals under 5.5.No comments
