Avangard Omsk Team Overview
The club from Omsk has suddenly lost its stability, with recent performances being somewhat erratic. In their last eight matches, they have managed only three victories, causing them to slip significantly in the standings. However, there are no concerns regarding the scoring ability of Guy Boucher's squad. They have netted 79 goals, and they are certainly capable of adding more in this department. Nonetheless, their defense is far from perfect, having conceded 66 goals.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Torpedo: Kulbakov - Konyushkov, Zhuravlev - Prince, Letunov, Firstov
Avangard: Serebryakov - Sharipzyanov, Cecconi - Kostin, McLeod, Rashevsky
🥅 Goalkeepers
Torpedo's goaltender Ivan Kulbakov has been seeing more ice time recently, likely due to the Belarusian netminder finding his form. He currently saves 90.8% of shots on average. While this percentage isn't particularly high, his improvement is evident.
Avangard's goalie Nikita Serebryakov remains one of the most consistent performers in his position across the league. The former SKA player averages a 92.2% save rate and maintains a calm presence in net. So far this season, he has avoided any major setbacks, allowing his efforts to be viewed positively.
Editorial Prediction
Recently, the visitors have been focusing significantly more on their defensive play. This strategy doesn't always work in their favor, but the drop in overall scoring in games involving the "Hawks" is hard to miss. In fact, Avangard's last five matches have seen no more than five goals scored in each game. The hosts are currently the hottest team in the league, and stopping them requires flawless play in the defensive zone. We believe this trend is likely to continue in Nizhny Novgorod. Our bet is on total under 5.5 goals.No comments
