🔊 Chelyabinsk Traktor are set to host Yekaterinburg Avtomobilist on their home ice as part of the latest KHL regular season action.

Head-to-head statistics Traktor Chelyabinsk - Avtomobilist
Traktor Chelyabinsk Team Overview
Benoit Groulx's squad have been struggling to find consistency in both their play and results. This is clearly reflected in key statistics. The hosts have already netted 80 goals, ranking them second in the East in this category. However, no team in the top eight of the conference has conceded more than Traktor, with 83 goals allowed. Their high level of activity hasn't been enough to consistently cover up mistakes in their own zone and at the back. As a result, the team is gradually losing ground in the standings.
Match Results: Traktor Chelyabinsk
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg Team Overview
The club from Yekaterinburg has plunged into a steep nosedive of negative results. The visitors have suffered four consecutive defeats, each thoroughly deserved. Moreover, twice during this stretch, the team failed to score at all. It is becoming increasingly clear that their issues in organizing play in the attacking zone are persistent and specific in nature-while they handle underdogs with relative confidence, they face evident challenges against the favorites.
Match Results: Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
🏒 Projected Lineups
Traktor: Driedger - Koromyslov, Gross - Leivo, Svetlakov, Kravtsov
Avtomobilist: Galkin - Busygin, Osipov - Boucher, Volk, Macek
🥅 Goalkeepers
Traktor's netminder Chris Driedger has been steadily improving his stats, positively impacting the team's performance. The Canadian averages a 90.8% save rate and has recorded one shutout. His progress between the pipes is evident.
Avtomobilist's goaltender Vladimir Galkin remains one of the top performers in his position within the league. The local talent boasts an average save rate of 93.5% and has single-handedly secured victories for his team on multiple occasions. His responsibility for the team's recent losses is minimal.
Editorial Prediction
We have a clash between two clubs sitting in the top-8 of the East, yet each enters this head-to-head with their own set of issues. The hosts are plagued by systemic defensive errors, while the visitors have recently faced significant challenges in their attacking zone. Given this balance of power, we anticipate a rather "closed" game with a limited number of goals scored. Our bet is on under 5.5 goals.No comments
