Command Analysis

HC Dynamo Moscow

Current form
It seems that the changes during the off-season have been good for Dynamo, as the team has been showing excellent play during the pre-season, beating almost all competitors along the way. The Muscovites suffered their only defeat at the start of the Moscow Mayor's Cup, losing in a tough fight to Spartak in a shootout (3:4). Then the team played Avtomobilist and was able to rehabilitate themselves, snatching victory in regulation time, and the winning goal was scored by the club's captain Nikita Gusev.
It is worth noting that the «white-blues» have strengthened their attacking line, thanks to which they are achieving success, and in just five matches they have managed to score as many as 17 goals.

Torpedo

Current form
Torpedo managed to decide on the final roster by the end of the pre-season training and stopped seriously messing around with the lines. In the last meeting, the Nizhny Novgorod team played against CSKA, however, they failed to show their best side. The Muscovites did not allow the Avtozavod team to play openly, creating serious pressure in the middle zone, which is why Torpedo lost the puck over and over again and periodically did not have time to return to defense, which led to a 1:3 defeat.
Before this, Larionov’s team met with a less serious opponent in the form of Vityaz, winning a clean sheet (3:0).
Interesting trends for betting
- Torpedo scores an average of 2.85 goals per match
- Torpedo received an average of 8.7 minutes of penalty time per match last season
Estimated composition
Bocharov, Kirsanov, Konyushkov, Kagarlitsky, Letunov, Atanasov, Voynov, Silaev, Lynch, Larionov, Artamonov, Phillis, Bokun, Pochivalov, Abramov, Goncharuk, Varlamov, Voronin, Belevich, Svechnikov

2.24Tip and bets
«Torpedo» had a very hard time playing against CSKA, so we shouldn't expect the team to perform well in the upcoming match either. Indeed, the Nizhny Novgorod team doesn't look its best yet, and they still have to get into fighting shape, but «Dynamo» seems to be ready to fight for another continental cup in the new season. At the moment, the Muscovites look much better both in terms of their lineup and their game in general, which means we're betting in their favor.
Our betting tip is Dynamo victory for 1.80
Bet on total
Dynamo mainly prefers attacking hockey, trying to achieve success precisely due to the number of goals scored, and not to sit back in defense. Igor Larionov imposes approximately the same character of the game on his players, which means that in the upcoming match we should expect a total over.
Betting Tip - total over five goals for 1.64
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Torpedo shows a good game in the first period and rarely allows opponents to gain an advantage at the end of the first twenty minutes.
Prediction - Torpedo will not lose in the first period for 1.50
