Lada vs Admiral Prediction 5 October 2025
🔊 KHL's biggest underdogs, Togliatti's Lada, will host Vladivostok's Admiral on their home ice. The current season kicked off disastrously for the hosts, and they have yet to find a way out of their slump. The visitors, on the other hand, are showing their usual resilience, seizing any opportunity, no matter how small. So far, they are managing to navigate their current road trip successfully.
Head-to-Head
Since 2024, these rivals have clashed five times, with the current hosts holding the upper hand. Lada have secured three victories while suffering two defeats. Only once have the opponents extended their battle beyond regulation time during this period. It's worth noting the gradually increasing scoring in their head-to-head encounters; what started with one or two goals has evolved into full-fledged shootouts, with no fewer than six goals recorded in the score sheet.
Head-to-head statistics Lada - Admiral
Lada Team Overview
The squad under Pavel Desyatkov, who was appointed just two weeks ago, managed to break their nine-game losing streak in a surprising turn of events. The clash against Neftekhimik turned into a showcase for Andrey Altybarmakyan, who scored a shorthanded goal and provided an assist. However, such sporting feats can't be consistently replicated, and Lada's systemic issues remain unresolved. Nevertheless, the club can still compete for the eighth spot in the West, but they need to improve immediately, and frankly, the potential for growth is rather limited.
Match Results: Lada
Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
The club from Vladivostok, after a rather average start to the season, found themselves in a steep decline with a string of negative results. Four consecutive losses could have easily shaken the team's confidence, but that wasn't the case. The turning point came in a clash in the Krasnodar region against local side Sochi. Leonid Tambiev's squad put on an impressive attacking display, netting five goals by the start of the third period. The final victory of 5-4 doesn't fully capture the balance of power (37:28 in shots on goal). There's no doubt that this success will serve as an inspiring factor and allow the team to take another step forward.
Match Results: Admiral Vladivostok
🏒 Projected Lineups
Lada: Bocharov - Semin, Cotton - Mikhailov, Savchuk, Altybarmakyan
Admiral: Huska - Shulak, Gyrman - Petukhov, Shestakov, Koshelev
🥅 Goalkeepers
Lada's goaltender Ivan Bocharov has returned to the lineup after an injury and immediately helped secure a long-awaited victory for the club. However, his current form, having missed numerous games, raises significant doubts. He will have plenty of work ahead.
Admiral's netminder Adam Huska has stopped getting into on-ice altercations and is now focusing on his primary duties. The Slovak didn't perform well in Sochi, with only an 85.7% save percentage, but overall he consistently provides his teammates with plenty of opportunities.
Editorial Prediction
This is a rare instance where the visitors from Vladivostok are favored on the road, not just due to their undeniable offensive capabilities. Lada are notably weak, and their surprising success in the last match doesn't change that fact. The hosts currently struggle to put up a fight against almost any league team, even on home ice. The best Pavel Desyatkov's squad can hope for is to score one or two goals, which won't be enough to earn them points. Our bet is on an Admiral victory in regulation time.No comments
