Sibir Novosibirsk vs Admiral Prediction 19 December 2025
🔊 Sibir Novosibirsk will host Admiral Vladivostok on their ice in another game day of the KHL regular season. The hosts remain far from the top-8 in the East, but have been making a much stronger impression lately. The visitors, on the other hand, are slipping further down the standings with each passing week.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have faced each other twice this season, exchanging home victories. First, Sibir triumphed in Novosibirsk (2-1 SO), and then Admiral evened the score in Vladivostok with a 2-0 win. It's worth noting the modest goal-scoring in these head-to-head clashes and the relatively slow pace. Despite this, the matches have been emotionally charged, with the teams racking up 10 penalties over 125 minutes of play.
Head-to-head statistics Sibir Novosibirsk - Admiral
Sibir Novosibirsk Team Overview
The club from Novosibirsk has already gone through two coaching dismissals this season and only started "showing signs of life" by mid-December. The hosts have secured five wins in their last eight matches, losing in regulation time just twice during this stretch. While it may not be a full-fledged tournament surge, the team's progress is evident. They are now just three points away from the playoff zone, and with the right approach, this gap can be closed in a few games. However, the main issue for the team remains their rather low scoring ability. They've managed to score only 77 goals, which is one of the lowest figures in the conference. It's crucial for them to improve in this area quickly.

Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
The current situation for the visitors can undoubtedly be described as a full-blown crisis. Head coach Leonid Tambiev has stepped down, yet the team's circumstances have not improved. The visitors have suffered five consecutive regulation losses. As a result, Admiral have slipped to the second-to-last spot in the Eastern Conference standings and are at risk of plummeting to the bottom. A key factor dragging the team down remains their low offensive efficiency. They've managed to score just 74 goals, the lowest tally in the conference. Achieving significant progress under these circumstances is exceedingly difficult.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Sibir: Krasotkin - Zaitsev, Priskie - Beck, Abramov, Wilson
Admiral: Huska - Shulak, Grman - Soshnikov, Shestakov, Petukhov
🥅 Goalkeepers
Sibir's goalie Anton Krasotkin continues to maintain a consistently high level of play. On average, he stops 90.9% of shots and has recorded one shutout. These are commendable stats, especially considering the team is currently outside the playoff picture.
Admiral's netminder Adam Huska has returned to the lineup and once again showcased solid performance in goal. The issue is that his efforts aren't significantly benefiting the team. The Slovak averages a 90.8% save rate and has secured two shutouts, but his contributions haven't substantially aided the squad's success.
Editor's Prediction
Recently, matches involving the home team have become quite high-scoring affairs, primarily due to their ambition to re-enter the playoff race. In fact, in 8 of Sibir's last 9 home games, there have been no fewer than five goals scored. Admiral may not boast strong offensive efficiency, but they will need to keep up with the pace set by the hosts. We recommend betting on a total over 4.5 goals.No comments
