Command Analysis
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo completed a three-game away series that did not start in the best way for the team. In the first match, the Bisons met with a far from serious opponent in the person of Sochi and suffered a most disappointing defeat with a score of 2:3. If you look at the statistics, it is hard to believe in such a result, since the Leopards made only 13 shots, which is 30 less than the guests. Then the Minsk team played with Severstal and this time again showed a very active game in attack, creating a huge number of dangerous moments, with the implementation of which there were problems, which led to the second failure in a row (2:3 SO).
But away from home to St. Petersburg SKA, the puck finally started to hit the target. Already at the end of the second period, Dynamo had a significant advantage of three pucks, finishing the meeting with a final score of 4:2. In particular, it is worth praising forward Usov, who scored twice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo has virtually no problems with its roster, and of the injured players, only forward Roman Gorbunov and goalkeeper Andrei Kareev remain.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Minsk players take 39 shots per match
The Bisons are currently the most active team in the league and consistently take a ton of shots per game.
- The Bisons are allowing just 10% of their penalty kills.
The Minsk team also shows a very confident game when sent off and consistently eliminates the majority of the opponent.
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA has been struggling to earn points this season, and is currently only in fifth place in the Western Conference, where it is very unusual to see the capital club even at the start of the season. The Army Men main problem is their weak defense, on average they are missing almost three goals per game, and their attacking line is simply unable to compensate for this shortcoming.
What is noteworthy is that even home walls do not help Vorobyov charges achieve success. The team has just finished a series of matches at home, having won only one victory out of four possible over Salavat Yulaev (0:2) and only due to the efforts of goalkeeper Gamzin, who reflected all 33 shots and made a shutout. In the remaining matches, CSKA continued to suffer from lapses in defense, which even led to two defeats from Metallurg (0:7) and Traktor (0:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
What is noteworthy is that CSKA is currently in full combat strength and all players remain in action.
Interesting trends for betting
- CSKA conceded 43 goals in 15 matches
The Army Men currently have one of the worst defensive line reliability indicators.
- Muscovites receive an average of eight penalty minutes per match
CSKA also has problems with discipline, which often leads to missed goals.

Despite such weak results of CSKA, bookmakers continue to believe in the team success and give Dynamo a very high coefficient for victory, which can be taken advantage of. The Bisons will play at home, where, with the support of fans, they have every chance to earn points in the upcoming match. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the Minsk team consistently makes a huge number of shots per match, which will be a serious problem for the Army Men, whose goal line is not very reliable. It is for these reasons that we suggest betting in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory in the match for 2.13
