Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Barys Astana Prediction 15 November 2025
🔊 Yaroslavl Lokomotiv are set to host Barys Astana on their home ice as part of the latest KHL regular-season action. The hosts maintain their grip on the top spot in the West, only occasionally slipping up. The visitors, on the other hand, have predictably fallen out of the playoff positions in the Eastern Conference due to a string of poor results.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have already clashed earlier this season. In early October, in Astana, there was no contest. Lokomotiv thrashed their opponent on their home turf with a commanding 5-1 victory. The current hosts were overwhelmingly dominant, and the final scoreline only underscored the disparity in class. A decisive contribution to his team's success came from the young forward, Yegor Surin, who managed to score a goal and provide two assists. The forward remains in action.
Head-to-head statistics Lokomotiv Yaroslavl - Barys Astana
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Team Overview
Bob Hartley's squad shows no signs of slowing down. The hosts have secured six victories in their last seven games, firmly holding the top spot in the Western Conference standings. Even the occasional slip-ups, which are inevitable over the long course of the season, haven't derailed the local hockey players. The team has scored 83 goals, one of the best records in the conference. There's no indication, not even the slightest, of a downturn in Yaroslavl.

Barys Astana Team Overview
The club from Kazakhstan's capital is clearly in a playing and mental crisis. Unsurprisingly, there are rumors about the possible dismissal of the coaching staff led by Mikhail Kravets. The visitors have indeed been performing poorly for quite some time, suffering six defeats in their last seven matches. Even their sole local success doesn't change the overall negative outlook. The team's main issue remains their rather weak defensive play. They have conceded 80 goals, one of the worst records in the East.
Match Results: Barys Astana
🏒 Probable Lineups
Lokomotiv: Isaev - Bereglazov, Yelesin - Kayumov, Shalunov, Berezkin
Barys: Shutov - Walsh, McCoshen - Vecchione, Morelli, Willman
🥅 Goalkeepers
Lokomotiv's goaltender Daniil Isaev remains one of the league's most consistent players in his position. The homegrown talent boasts an average save percentage of 92.9% and has recorded one shutout. His composure provides his teammates with strength and confidence.
Barys' goalie Andrey Shutov continues to deliver surprisingly assured performances. The former Slovan player averages a 91.2% save percentage. While not the highest, it leaves a strong impression for a team struggling at the bottom. The visitors' issues certainly don't lie in the crease.
Editor's Prediction
Undoubtedly, the hosts enter this matchup as favorites and will likely aim to seize control and assert dominance from the outset. It's worth noting the scoring trend in games involving the visitors; in six of Barys' last seven matches, at least five goals have been scored, including five consecutive away games. Considering the relatively weak defensive play from the club based in Kazakhstan's capital, this trend may continue to hold true. Our bet is on over 4.5 goals total.No comments
