Admiral vs Traktor Chelyabinsk Prediction
🔊 Admiral Vladivostok will host Traktor Chelyabinsk on their home ice as part of another game day in the KHL regular season. The hosts have struggled to break their losing streak, and a full resurgence is not yet on the cards. Meanwhile, the visitors remain among the Eastern favorites, but they continue to be a highly inconsistent team.
Head-to-Head
The main showdown between these clubs took place during the 2025 Gagarin Cup playoffs. They clashed in the first round, and that matchup turned into a true highlight of the tournament. Traktor ultimately prevailed, winning the series 4-2 and eventually reaching the finals. It's worth noting the impressive scoring in those battles-fewer than five goals were recorded only twice.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
Leonid Tambiev's squad, through sheer determination and a stroke of luck, managed to halt their eight-game losing streak. However, a solitary local triumph is unlikely to overshadow the team's significant downturn in form. The hosts find themselves justifiably outside the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference and are unlikely to make a return any time soon. With only 47 goals scored, they hold the worst record in the conference. At this rate, the team will have to continue relying solely on luck.

Traktor Chelyabinsk Team Overview
The club from Chelyabinsk remains in the top 6, but their recent form has been too inconsistent. In their last eight games, they have suffered four losses and are gradually losing ground to the conference leaders. The main issue for last season's Gagarin Cup finalists is their extremely weak play in their own zone. They have conceded 78 goals, which is by far the worst record in the East. A critical factor here is their performance at the back, which has been underwhelming.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Admiral: Huska - Sulak, Leontyev - Tertyshny, Shestakov, Geraskin
Traktor: Driedger - Fedoseyev, Telegin - Goryunov-Rolgyzer, Kadeykin, Korshkov
🥅 Goalkeepers
Admiral's netminder Adam Huska has been struggling with consistency lately. His stats are gradually dipping, reaching a critical point at 90% save percentage. Despite this, the former Lugano player has recorded two shutouts.
Traktor's goaltender Chris Driedger continues to underperform as the last line of defense. The Canadian averages just a 90.1% save rate and occasionally falters significantly. It's quite possible he won't remain in Chelyabinsk until the playoffs.
Editorial Prediction
It's tough to gauge what the hosts are truly capable of after securing their first win in a long while. They'll likely aim to build on this success and exploit the visitors' inconsistency and defensive issues. Attention should be paid to the high-scoring nature of Traktor's matches; in 11 of their last 12 away games, at least five goals were scored. We believe this trend could very well continue in Vladivostok. Our bet is on the total over 4.5 goals.
