Command Analysis

Dinamo Minsk

Last year, Minsk Dynamo had a far from successful season, finishing the regular championship only on the eighth line in the table, clinging to the last place in the playoffs, where they also did not show themselves in the best way. In the first round, they had to meet one of the contenders for the cup in the person of Moscow Dynamo and suffer a rather expected defeat from the clear favorite with a score of 2:4 in the series.
During the transfer window, the Minsk team placed their bets on players from overseas and signed as many as four players from the AHL, as well as one from the NHL, in the form of forward Dube, who previously played for Calgary.

Avangard Omsk

Avangard remains one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference and fought for the lead in the table last season, but was never able to catch up with Magnitogorsk Metallurg, finishing second. In the playoffs, the Omsk team was close to the semi-finals after an easy victory in the first round over Lada (4:1), but was never able to achieve the desired result, as they met with the future finalist Lokomotiv, losing in a tough fight with a score of 3:4.
The club was not particularly active on the transfer market, but still managed to find a replacement for its main striker in the person of Tkachev, who was seriously injured and out for an indefinite period. Now former Ak Bars player Galiev will try to prove himself in his place.

1.60Tip and bets
Avangard is superior to its opponent in all respects and will play first number even on the road, which will allow it to create serious problems for the Minsk team and earn an early advantage, as well as maintain it until the end of the meeting. An important factor is that the Omsk team has retained its core during the transfer window, which means that they do not need additional time to get used to each other. It is for this reason that we suggest taking advantage of the excellent odds and making a confident bet in favor of the Hawks.
Our prediction is Avangard's victory at 2.36
Bet on total
Both teams are not used to sitting back in defense and prefer open attacking hockey, which often leads to a large number of goals scored. It is unlikely that the clubs will play defensively, especially in a friendly match, which means we suggest betting on the total over.
Forecast - total over five goals for 1.66
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Avangard often tries to take advantage in the first period, creating serious pressure on the opponent. Considering the not very reliable defense of the Minsk team, the Hawks are quite capable of winning in the starting period.
Prediction - Avangard wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.86
