🔊 Barys Astana will host Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg on their home ice as part of another game day in the KHL regular season. The hosts continue to struggle, suffering one setback after another. The visitors, meanwhile, have been unable to find consistency lately but remain firmly in the top 8 of the East. In this matchup, they are considered the favorites.
Head-to-Head
Since the start of 2024, the rivals have faced off six times, with the visitors currently holding a commanding lead in wins. Avtomobilist have come out on top in five of those encounters, suffering just one home defeat in overtime (1-2).

Head-to-head statistics Barys Astana - Avtomobilist
Barys Astana Team Overview
The club from Kazakhstan's capital continues to struggle in the KHL, having suffered five consecutive regulation losses. As a result, they've slipped out of the top-8 in the East. In just their last three games, the team has conceded 13 goals. They haven't been able to offset these defensive shortcomings with increased offensive efficiency in the opponent's zone. So far, they've managed to score only 61 goals while conceding 74. The defensive efforts often leave much to be desired, and it's here, not just at the final line of defense, where the team's main issues lie.

Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg Team Overview
Nikolay Zavarukhin's squad has slightly lost momentum recently. The visitors have suffered three defeats in their last six outings, including one game where they failed to score. While this can't be classified as a full-blown crisis, the team is diligently offsetting setbacks with localized successes. However, the gap from the Eastern leaders is gradually widening. The team isn't facing systemic issues, but the loss of pace could lead to challenges in the near future. Avtomobilist need a winning streak to restore their confidence.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Barys: Shutov - Walsh, McCoshen - Vecchione, Morelli, Willman
Avtomobilist: Alikin - Blaker, Pautov - Golyshev, Byvaltsev, Gorbunov
🥅 Goalkeepers
Barys' goaltender Andrey Shutov continues to maintain a fairly high standard. On average, he saves 91.5% of shots. These are respectable numbers, suggesting that the outfield players need to tighten up defensively.
Avtomobilist's netminder Yevgeny Alikin has seen less time in the starting lineup recently. However, there's no significant drop in his performance. The former Amur player averages a save percentage of 91.4%. It's not his fault when his teammates fail to score.
Editorial Prediction
We have two teams here, both struggling in their own ways. The home side's downturn in the standings is comprehensive, while the visitors have clearly lost their stability. In this scenario, the scoring factor is worth noting. In seven of the last eight head-to-head games between these teams in Astana, fewer than five goals were scored. A similar trend is evident in six of Avtomobilist's last seven away matches. We believe both trends could remain relevant. Our bet is on a total of under 5.5 goals.No comments
