Head-to-head statistics Avtomobilist - Lada
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg Team Overview
Nikolay Zavarkhin's squad faced evident challenges starting from late November. The team consistently alternated between strong performances and outright failures, but ultimately managed to overcome their issues. The hosts have now secured four consecutive victories and solidified their place in the playoff spots of the Eastern Conference. Statistically, the team leaves no room for doubt. With 121 goals scored and only 97 conceded, they boast some of the best figures in the conference. Further progress seems inevitable.

Lada Team Overview
The club from Tolyatti has firmly settled at the bottom of the Western standings, and there seems to be no sign of a tournament rise in their performance. In December, they lost six out of seven games, gradually losing even the theoretical chance of making the playoffs. The team has managed to score only 84 goals while conceding 142, both of which are the worst figures in the conference. This clearly highlights significant issues in all aspects of their play. Pavel Desyatkov's squad will soon shift into a mode of playing out the season without any specific objectives.
Match Results: Lada
🏒 Projected Lineups
Avtomobilist: Alikin - Blaker, Busygin - Boucher, Da Costa, Sharov
Lada: Bocharov - Williams, Semin - Jurčo, Savchuk, Altybarmakyan
🥅 Goalies
Avtomobilist's goaltender, Evgeny Alikin, has seen less ice time recently, but the former Amur player remains effective. On average, he saves 91.7% of shots and has recorded one shutout. This performance is more than sufficient for his team to continue accumulating points.
Lada's goalie, Ivan Bocharov, consistently maintains a commendable level of play. The former Lokomotiv player averages a 91.9% save percentage and has frequently come to his team's rescue. It's somewhat surprising to see such stats from a team firmly anchored at the bottom of the conference standings.
Editorial Prediction
The odds of a home victory appear exceptionally high. Avtomobilist have found their stride and are poised to chase the league leaders. In contrast, the visitors repeatedly drop points and fail to present themselves as a formidable force. Notably, most recent matches involving Pavel Desyatkov's team have been high-scoring affairs. In fact, in 9 of Lada's last 10 games, including six consecutive away matches, there have been at least six goals scored. We believe this trend could very well continue in Yekaterinburg. Our bet is on a total over 5.5 goals.No comments
