Admiral vs Sibir Novosibirsk Prediction 28 December 2025
🔊 Admiral Vladivostok will host Sibir Novosibirsk on their home ice as part of the ongoing KHL regular season action. Both clubs find themselves in the lower ranks of the Eastern Conference standings but still have a chance to fight for a spot in the playoff bracket. However, they need to start making a significant push now, or it might be too late later on.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have faced off four times this season, maintaining an even split in victories at 2-2. Notably, each team has managed to secure one win at home and one on the road. It's worth highlighting the impressive scoring in these encounters, as the last two matchups saw a combined total of 11 goals scored.
Head-to-head statistics Admiral - Sibir Novosibirsk
Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
The club from Vladivostok continues its descent into the abyss. They make a very weak impression and have already dropped to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. The hosts have lost eight of their last nine matches, and a change in the coaching staff has yet to bring any positive changes. Statistically, the team has nothing to boast about. They've managed to score only 83 goals, the lowest in the conference. Additionally, conceding 108 goals is far from an impressive record. A turnaround for the team in the near future seems highly unlikely.
Match Results: Admiral Vladivostok
Sibir Novosibirsk Team Overview
The visitors seem to have made a habit of alternating between successful and disappointing matches, but overall, there's a steady improvement. In their last eight games, Sibir have secured five wins and suffered only two regulation-time losses. This progress has finally lifted them off the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Moreover, they are just three points away from the coveted eighth spot in the conference, and this gap no longer seems like an insurmountable barrier. However, their primary issue remains a notably weak defense, having conceded 129 goals, the worst record in this part of the standings.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Admiral: Shugaev - Shulak, Grman - Geraskin, Shestakov, Soshnikov
Sibir: Krasotkin - Priskie, Zaitsev - Beck, Nekolenko, Wilson
🥅 Goaltenders
Admiral's goaltender Dmitry Shugaev has been named the team's number one, but his performances have yet to impress. The former Severstal player has an average save percentage of 89%. While he occasionally delivers solid shutout stretches, overall consistency remains a challenge for the netminder.
Sibir's goaltender Anton Krasotkin continues to maintain a commendable level of play. The former Admiral player boasts an average save percentage of 91.2% and has recorded one shutout. It's somewhat surprising to see such stats from a team positioned outside the top eight.
Editor's Prediction
The hosts have been underwhelming lately, and the departure of Leonid Tambiev as head coach hasn't improved their situation at all. On the other hand, the visitors have shown some improvement and are sensing that a playoff spot is within reach. It's worth noting that recent games involving the club from Vladivostok haven't been high-scoring affairs; in fact, in six out of their last seven matches, Admiral have seen no more than five goals scored in total. We believe this trend could very well continue. Our bet is on total under 5.5 goals.No comments
