Amur Khabarovsk vs Sibir Novosibirsk Prediction 19 September 2025
🔊 Amur Khabarovsk and Sibir Novosibirsk are set to face off for the second time in two days, marking their third clash since the season began. The frequency of these matchups is due to their geographical proximity, and the intensity is palpable. Both clubs find themselves in the lower half of the Eastern Conference standings and need to improve their positions.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have clashed twice this season, and each encounter unfolded with a completely different storyline. The first match in Novosibirsk highlighted Sibir's offensive weaknesses, resulting in a shutout loss for the home side (0-2). In their second meeting, both teams turned the game into a thrilling spectacle, with Amur surprisingly falling short in a shootout (3-4).
Head-to-head statistics Amur Khabarovsk - Sibir Novosibirsk
Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
The club from Khabarovsk has yet to find consistency. To be fair, this has been the case for a couple of seasons now. After five games in the regular season, the "Tigers" have two regulation wins and three losses. The status and form of their opponents seem irrelevant for Alexander Galchenyuk's squad. They can lose to modest Barys (3-4 OT) and then a few days later take down a solid Shanghai side (5-4). Playing with such a careless style, the club currently sits sixth in the East, but it's unlikely they will stay there for long, even though Alex Galchenyuk has already picked up three points and is trying to lead the team.

Sibir Novosibirsk Team Overview
Vadim Epanchintsev's squad struggled to score just one goal in the first 180 minutes of the regular season, which is quite surprising given they're not playing football. The team's attacking abilities have come under serious scrutiny. However, the visitors finally broke through just two days ago in Khabarovsk, netting three goals and securing a hard-fought victory over Amur (4-3 SO). It's premature to say the club's crisis is over, but they've certainly taken a step forward. Now, they need to solidify this progress right here, and the new line combinations are expected to achieve that. At the very least, moving Nikita Soshnikov to the second line and pairing him with 2017 Stanley Cup winner Scott Wilson has shown visible results - Soshnikov has recorded three assists, while Wilson has scored a goal.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Amur: Dorozhko - Yevseyev, Mishchenko - Zaseda, Galchenyuk, Broadhurst
Sibir: Krasotkin - Priskie, Alanov - Butuzov, Tkachyov, Wilson
🥅 Goalkeepers
Amur's goalie, Maxim Dorozhko, reflects his team's inconsistency by alternating between strong performances and weaker outings. For instance, despite a victory against Shanghai, the Russian managed just an 89.7% save percentage. Two days later, he delivered a stellar performance against Sibir with a 94% save rate.
Sibir's netminder, Anton Krasotkin, has played two complete games this season, but his performance appears to be declining. He started strong with a 97% save rate against Admiral but then dropped to just 86.4% in the matchup with Amur.
Editor's Prediction
The team from Khabarovsk are certainly looking for a quick revenge. They've consistently secured the majority of their points on home ice. The recent clash between these opponents just a few days ago clearly showed that both sides are evenly matched, with no significant advantage for either team. In such a scenario, the Tigers must capitalize on their home advantage, especially after allowing their rivals too much freedom two days ago-it's time to make amends. Our pick is a victory for Amur in regulation time.No comments
