Dinamo Minsk vs CSKA Moscow Prediction and Betting Tips (19.08.2024)

Command Analysis

Dinamo Minsk

Belarus

Current form

After a far from successful last season, Minsk Dynamo seriously took up the task of strengthening the team and bet on North American players from the AHL and NHL. Also, the Ak Bars star Vadim Shipachev joined the club. Now it will be even more interesting to watch the Minsk team in the regular championship, but things are not going well for the team in the preseason.

The Bisons have already played three games and only in one of them achieved the desired success, defeating a club from the VHL in the person of Norilsk. In the remaining games, they had to play with much more serious competitors, suffering defeats from Avangard (1:2) and Moscow Dynamo (1:3).

Interesting Betting Trends

Dynamo scored an average of 2.64 goals per game last season
Last season, Dynamo scored the most goals while short-handed among all clubs in the league

CSKA Moscow

Russian Federation

Current form

Last season, CSKA clearly expected better results both in the regular championship and in the playoffs, but everything ended with sixth place in the table and an exit from the Gagarin Cup in the first round from Lokomotiv. After such a weak performance, the club needed a restructuring, which the management did during the off-season, seriously shoveling the roster. Now Ilya Vorobyov, a coach with vast experience and titles, will lead the «red machine».

Among the transfers, it is worth noting several top signings from the NHL. The Muscovites were able to bring back goalkeeper Ivan Prosvetov, Nikita Okhotyuk and Denis Guryanov to their homeland, thereby replacing the departed Fedotov, Grigorenko and Plotnikov. With such changes and under the guidance of a strong coach, the «army men» are quite capable of once again becoming the best club in the league.

Interesting Betting Trends

Last season, CSKA conceded an average of 2.4 goals per game.
CSKA received an average of 7.6 minutes of penalty time per match

Estimated composition

Prosvetov, Dryaghilev, Okhotyuk, Samorukov, Sedov, Yarosh, Afanasyev, Guryanov, Drozdov, Iskhakov, Rozhkov, Yaparov, Barabosh, Bryutov, Gordeev, Kalinichenko, Klasson, Zugan, Kamenev, Karnaukhov

Tip and bets

1.79Dynamo will not lose

Bookmakers consider CSKA to be the clear favorite in the upcoming match. However, it is worth considering that the «army men» have seriously changed their lineup. In order to play successfully, the new lineup needs time to adjust and become more cohesive. In turn, Minsk «Dynamo» has also been seriously strengthened in the off-season. The team has already tried out new links and combinations, although not entirely successfully. We believe that the «bisons» will be able to give a worthy rebuff to the uncoordinated CSKA, and we are betting on them.

Our prediction is that Dynamo Minsk will not lose at 1.79

Bet on total

In the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of goals scored, since the new head coach of CSKA Vorobyov prefers an attacking style of play. There is no point for the «Bisons» to sit back in defense, which means that as a second bet, it is worth choosing total over.

Betting Tip - total over five goals for 1.68

Bet on the outcome of the first period

As we have already noted, Dynamo, unlike CSKA, has already played three friendly matches and will also play at home, which is an important factor for a successful start to the match.

Prediction - Dynamo win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 2.20
