Command Analysis
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent Form
Dinamo sits in eighth place in the Western Conference with only 15 points. The team clearly aimed for a better start to the season but is currently far from its best form, delivering lackluster performances. Recently, they lost 3-5 to Metallurg on the road but bounced back at home, defeating Salavat 4-2.
This inconsistency likely stems from the team’s weak defensive play, making them one of the most conceding clubs in the West. Additionally, their penalty kill is struggling, with only a 75.4% success rate. Notably, in their last match, the coaching staff decided to change the captain and, according to Alexey Kudashev, implement a "slight reboot," which seemingly benefited the players.

Russian FederationCurrent Form
Spartak is holding the second spot in the Western Conference, trailing the leader by six points. The team has slightly slowed down, suffering back-to-back home defeats to Metallurg and Salavat Yulaev, both with a score of 2-5. In those games, their defensive play was subpar, marked by numerous errors in their zone. However, the red-and-whites bounced back and secured a 3-0 victory against Ak Bars.
The credit for this shutout goes to Dmitry Nikolaev, who delivered an outstanding performance, stopping a total of 36 shots. Additionally, Spartak excelled while shorthanded, successfully neutralizing all three power-play opportunities of their opponents. Notably, the club currently ranks as the best in the league when playing 4-on-5, boasting an impressive 91.7% penalty kill rate.

2.80Tip and bets
We believe that Spartak has a strong chance of a positive outcome in this matchup. The red-and-whites have consistently performed well against Dynamo, providing solid resistance in all their previous encounters. Furthermore, Spartak either secured victories in regulation time or took the games to overtime. The hosts continue to demonstrate inconsistent results and have yet to recapture the form that brought them success last season.
Prediction - Spartak victory with a handicap (0) at 2.00
Bet on Individual Total
In their last four encounters with Dynamo, Spartak consistently scored three goals. Currently, the blue-whites rank among the teams with the highest goals conceded in the league and sit near the bottom for penalty killing. Even in challenging matchups, the guests manage to find the net three times, making a wager on their total a sensible choice.
We recommend betting on Spartak's individual total to be over 2.5 goals at 1.80
Bet on Total Goals
Recent matchups between these teams have been thrilling, featuring over five goals each time. Dynamo struggles defensively, prompting them to focus on scoring in opponents’ zones. Spartak is also open to a high-scoring game and demonstrates commendable scoring ability. We believe these clubs will delight fans with a significant number of goals.
We'll take the total to be over 5.5 goals at 1.85
