Dynamo continues to fight for a place in the top eight of the West and is currently on the edge of the playoff zone.

Tip and bets
We believe that the hosts will be able to continue their winning streak on home ice. Severstal has gained excellent form and looks great both in defense and in attack. The Minsk team won thanks to their reliability in defense, but the visitors lack freshness up front. In two out of three games this season, the black-yellows have won against Dynamo. Now the steelmakers have an excellent chance to consolidate their position in the top five of the Western Conference. We suggest betting on the victory of Andrei Kozyrev team with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is a victory for Severstal with an Asian handicap (0) for 1.78
Bet on total
This season, the teams have already played three games against each other, but have never scored more than five times in regulation time. Now we expect a more open game from the clubs. Severstal should dominate on the ice and it is unlikely that the Minsk team will be able to contain the opponent attack. Dmitry Kvartalnov charges will have to play catch-up, so there will be at least six accurate shots in the match.
Forecast - total over five goals for 1.75
Bet on individual total
Severstal consistently plays well in Cherepovets and rarely leaves the court without scoring at least three times. Dynamo looks good in defense, but we don’t think that the Minsk team is capable of holding off the hosts. Both teams have studied each other well over the three games between them. We believe that the steelworkers will score at least three goals.
Forecast - Severstal individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.83
