HC Spartak Moscow vs Amur Khabarovsk Prediction 12 November 2026
🔊 HC Spartak Moscow return to Moscow after a heavy defeat in St Petersburg. Conceding seven goals to SKA is hardly the result they would have wanted before starting a run of home games. But Amur Khabarovsk are not coming just to make up the numbers, either. They have won two of their three games in November and did not allow their opponents to score in their most recent game. Still, the Tigers have not won an official game in Moscow since 2019. HC Spartak Moscow are five points ahead of the visitors, but after the recent results, it is hard to call this an easy game for the home side.
Jaros settled the match
📊 The teams already met in Khabarovsk in October. Amur Khabarovsk made a good start: Vitaly Abramov opened the scoring in the second minute from an Artyom Shvaryov assist. HC Spartak Moscow equalised before the first intermission when Alexander Belyayev scored on the power play. The score remained level for a long time, and the game was only decided late on. In the 55th minute, Kristian Jaroš scored from assists by Max Comtois and Danil Pivchulin. The Moscow side won 2-1 despite conceding first.
Head-to-head statistics HC Spartak Moscow - Amur Khabarovsk
Five goals in one period
In early November, HC Spartak Moscow beat Dinamo Minsk 5-3, but even that win came with problems. The Moscow side led 4-0 by the 38th minute before allowing their opponents to close the gap. Their next game, against SKA, went much worse. The St Petersburg side scored five goals in the first period alone, and the final score was a heavy 1-7 defeat. Things have not been going smoothly in attack either: the red-and-whites scored no more than one goal in three of their four November games. On the plus side, Maxim Comtois scored in two consecutive games.
In St Petersburg, the problems began as early as the fourth minute. SKA then scored three times in two minutes, forcing Alexei Zhamnov to replace Artyom Zagidulin with Yevgeny Volokhin. HC Spartak Moscow trailed 0-5 at the first intermission, even though the home side had managed only nine shots on goal. The Moscow side conceded again in the second period, before Comtois finally got them on the scoreboard in the 39th minute. They could not score again. Over the full game, the red-and-whites had 20 shots on goal to their opponents’ 25. Now they must make amends in front of their home fans.

When the goalkeeper makes the difference
Amur Khabarovsk have been doing noticeably better in November. They beat Admiral in the Far Eastern derby (5:2) and then got past Barys. Their only defeat in that stretch came against SKA. The main strengths of Alexander Andrievsky’s team are their defensive play and reliable goaltending. The Tigers allow an average of 1.7 goals per game, although their opponents’ expected goals figure stands at 2.77 xGA. Another strength is the penalty kill: Amur have killed off 94.6% of their opponents’ power-play opportunities. It is no surprise that they already have seven shutouts this season.
Alexander Trushkov had plenty to do against Barys. The team from Astana registered 39 shots on goal, but the Amur goaltender stopped them all. The third period was particularly demanding, with the visitors outshooting Amur 18:4. By then, the hosts were already ahead thanks to a power-play goal from Oleg Li. Barys tried to equalise until the final seconds and pulled their goaltender, but conceded another goal instead. Kirill Urakov made the final score 2:0. It was Trushkov’s fourth shutout of the season.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
At first glance, Amur Khabarovsk, with their solid defence, are not the most suitable opponents for a high-scoring game. They allow just 1.7 goals per game, while HC Spartak Moscow scored no more than once in three of their four November games. But the Moscow side have plenty of problems around their own net, too. They conceded ten goals in their last two games, seven of them against SKA. HC Spartak Moscow’s games in the current championship average 4.7 goals in regulation. And in eight of the last ten head-to-head games, including friendlies, the teams combined for at least five goals. My pick is Over 4.5 Goals.
