Lada vs Dynamo Prediction 23 January 2026
🔊 Can the "Owls" handle the increased pressure in their upcoming match? The only highlight of Friday's KHL schedule is the clash between Togliatti's Lada and Moscow's Dynamo. The hosts are in decent form, and fans expect them to continue their impressive performances. Meanwhile, the "Blue-and-Whites" are going through a rough patch and can't expect a significant leap in the standings. Nevertheless, bookmakers rely on the squad's skill and give Vyacheslav Kozlov's side a twofold advantage.
Head-to-Head
📊 This season, the teams have faced each other twice. On both occasions, Dynamo Moscow emerged as the stronger side, winning 4-3 in a shootout at VTB Arena and 4-2 at Lada Arena. However, it's important to note that the "White-Blues" have managed just one away victory against the "Owls" in their last five encounters. Can the hosts once again pose a challenge to the capital club? We'll find out soon enough.
Head-to-head statistics Lada - Dynamo
Lada Team Overview
🔵 The Togliatti club finds themselves entrenched at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, currently holding 34 points after 48 games. A 19-point deficit is typically seen as insurmountable. It's worth noting that the team has the worst defense in the East, conceding about 3.5 goals per game. Nevertheless, in their last two outings, the "Owls" secured convincing victories against Sochi (4-0) and Barys (2-0). Most importantly, Pavel Desyatkov's squad showcased an attractive style of hockey-minimal pragmatism and a focus on quickly advancing the puck into the offensive zone. The 26-year-old Canadian forward Riley Sawchuk is in outstanding form, tallying 6 goals and 8 assists over the last 10 games.
