Command Analysis
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist has long since lost its lead in the Eastern Conference table, but the team from Yekaterinburg is trying its best to stay at least in second place. Nikolai Zavarukhin team currently has 22 points after 17 games. After a terrible series of games on home ice in early October, the Ural team went on an away tour. First, the "machinists" earned two points in Moscow, beating the local CSKA (4:3, B), but then they were unable to finish off SKA, losing the lead in the score after two periods (2:5). Before returning home, Anatoly Golyshev team confidently won against Vityaz in the Moscow region, showing the will to win (3:1).
The Yekaterinburg team still has to rely largely on the reliable play of their goalies. In the five previous matches, the hosts have made only 13 accurate shots, having missed 16 times. Avto is one of the best teams in the minority, neutralizing 82.8% of opponents' attempts. At the same time, this season the club from the Urals of Russia has scored five times in a 4-on-5 situation. Stefan da Costa remains the Mashinists' top scorer. The Frenchman has scored 15 points (2+13) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stepan Khripunov, Daniil Romantsev and Curtis Volk were injured and will not start the new home series with their team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Avtomobilist makes 27 shots on goal per game
The hosts began to shoot a little more at their opponents' goal, and their conversion rate rose to 9.4%.
- The Urals team earns 9.2 minutes of penalty time on average per match
The Machinists are often penalized, but neutralize 82.8% of the minority, which is the ninth best indicator among KHL teams.
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo is climbing out of the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Alexey Kudashov charges have risen to seventh place in the conference and now the visitors have 20 points after 18 games. The Muscovites played their last games on home ice very confidently and beat Salavat Yulaev (4:2) without any chances, and then crushed Spartak (5:0), taking revenge for the defeat from the red-whites at the start of the season. Nikita Gusev and his partners' away tour began with a hard-fought victory in Nizhny Novgorod (3:2, B), where the visitors twice failed to hold on to their lead. The last meeting began for the white-blues with two quick goals from Lokomotiv into Maxim Motorygin goal, however, the "dynamics" were able to turn the game around, but could not hold on at the end and lost in a shootout (3:4, B).
The team from the capital of Russia is gradually improving its defensive performance. After an unsuccessful start, the guests have formed a goalie duo of Motorygin and Yaroslavlev, and Hunter Miska remains in the Dynamo reserves. The Moscow team has been scoring points for four games in a row and has conceded only seven goals in regulation time. At the same time, Dynamo still plays very poorly in the minority, neutralizing only 77.3% of penalties.
Disqualifications and injuries
Maxime Comtois continues to recover from an injury he received earlier.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo shoots 33 times per game on average
Muscovites are always active and shoot a lot at their opponents' goal, but they only manage to realize 8.6% of their attacks.
- The "white-blues" win 53% of faceoffs
The visitors play well at the point and often win the puck for their teammates.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In five of the six previous matches between the teams, the first period was not productive
2.05Bet 3rd period: Dynamo will score
Dynamo scores in the third period for three games
1.53Tip and bets
We believe that Avtomobilist losing streak on the ice of Uralets Arena should continue. The Yekaterinburg team plays poorly in attack on their home court, and now their lineup is weakened by injuries to several attacking leaders. Dynamo is gradually gaining momentum, but the visitors will not lose their motivation to win for a long time. The White-Blues have finally gotten their defense in order, so Alexey Kudashov charges should have a long winning streak in the near future. We do not think that the Machinists are capable of stopping Nikita Gusev team in their current state. We suggest betting on the visitors' victory with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory with an Asian handicap (0) for 1.90
Bet on individual total
Avtomobilist has had problems converting chances throughout the season and plays defensively. Dynamo has entrusted Maxim Motorygin with the role of the club first goalkeeper and for now, Alexey Kudashov should be pleased with the visitors' young goalkeeper. In the last five games, the "white-blues" have conceded only 12 goals. We believe that the Urals team will not be able to beat the Muscovites more than twice.
Forecast - Avtomobilist individual total under 2.5 goals for 1.88
Bet on total
The hosts will try to contain the opponent attack and will often counterattack. Dynamo is very good in the majority, but now the guests will face one of the best teams in the minority. The "white-blues" are unlikely to force the events and the meeting should start calmly. With such inputs, we do not expect a large number of goals within 60 minutes.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 1.72
