Admiral vs Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Prediction 6 December 2025
🔊 Admiral Vladivostok are set to host Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on their home ice. The hosts are struggling in their home series, slipping further away from the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the visitors have slightly lost momentum in the latter half of November, but they remain among the Western leaders, proving they are not willing to settle for a downturn.
Head-to-Head
Since 2024, the opponents have faced off three times, with the current visitors holding the upper hand in victories, leading 2-1. During this period, the matches never extended beyond regulation time and were notably low-scoring affairs. Not once did the games exceed five goals. Home advantage didn't prove decisive either, as the home team lost twice.
Head-to-head statistics Admiral - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
Leonid Tambiev's squad has always been renowned for capitalizing on their geographical advantage, securing the lion's share of points right in Vladivostok. However, at a crucial moment, this advantage faltered. Since the end of November, the club has played four home matches and suffered three defeats. Unsurprisingly, this has left the hosts outside the top eight in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Yet, trailing by just one point is far from disastrous - the real battle lies ahead. Admiral's main issue remains their relatively low scoring output, with only 72 goals netted. This is clearly insufficient for a serious challenge against the league's frontrunners.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Team Overview
The reigning Gagarin Cup holders hit a bit of a rough patch in the latter half of November. They suffered five defeats in their last seven games, failing to score in two of those encounters. However, it's too early to declare a full-blown slump for the champions. In Khabarovsk, the visitors demonstrated they can still shift into high gear when necessary. In terms of scoring, there are no concerns about the team. They've netted 104 goals, which ranks second in the conference. Defensively, they're also performing at a top level, having conceded only 76 goals.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Admiral: Shugaev - Shepelev, Shulak - Starkov, Olson, Zavgorodniy
Lokomotiv: Isaev - Bereglazov, Yelesin - Radulov, Ivanov, Surin
🥅 Goalkeepers
Admiral's goalie Dmitry Shugaev has seen limited ice time this season and hasn't been particularly effective. The former Severstal player has a save percentage of just 89% and a goals-against average of 3.24. These stats are rather unimpressive, but his Slovakian partner Adam Huska simply can't handle the load alone.
Lokomotiv's netminder Daniil Isaev has gradually returned to top form. The local talent boasts a save percentage of 91.8% and has already recorded two shutouts, with one coming just two days ago in Khabarovsk. The goalie remains composed under pressure and avoids major blunders at the last line of defense.
Editorial Prediction
Hoping to break their losing streak, the hosts are increasingly focusing on risk minimization and effective defensive play. They've been adopting this approach against the champions for quite some time now, with no more than five goals scored in seven of their last eight head-to-head encounters. A similar trend is evident in eight of Lokomotiv's last nine away games. We believe both trends are likely to continue in Vladivostok. Our bet is on total under 5.5 goals.No comments
