Command Analysis
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo completed a three-game away series that did not start in the best way. In the first match, the team met with Lokomotiv and by the beginning of the second period allowed the opponent to earn a three-goal advantage and ultimately suffered a 2:3 defeat. It seemed that the Minsk team would be able to give Severstal a worthy rebuff and cling to points this time, but this did not happen. This time, there were serious lapses in defense, which led to a crushing defeat (2:5). Goalkeeper Tikhomirov showed his worst side, reflecting only 83% of shots. Remarkably, the Bisons made many more shots on goal, but this did not bring the desired result.
The team then went to visit Torpedo, where they were finally able to show their attacking potential to the fullest, winning with a score of 5:2. Once again, Dynamo showed a very active game in attack, and during the entire match they made 47 shots on goal. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions.

Vityaz has recently started to please fans with excellent play and consistently fights back against clear favorites. The team is playing an away series, which it started off poorly, losing to Dynamo Minsk with a score of 1:2. Then the team went to visit Vityaz, where they were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, snatching victory from Torpedo with a minimal advantage of one goal (2:1). They managed to achieve success due to the excellent play of the defensive line, which is rare for the club. One cannot help but note the efforts of goalkeeper Doroshko, who reflected 96% of the shots.
Continuing to play away, the "bogatyrs" went to visit a much more powerful opponent in the person of "Spartak" and this time the team was just one step away from victory, but suffered an offensive defeat in overtime (3:4). It was possible to transfer the game to overtime only due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Doroshko, who this time was able to reflect 35 shots. Then "Vityaz" met with Moscow "Dynamo" and again gave a worthy rebuff to the clear favorite, losing with a score of 1:2. Due to unstable play this season, the Podolsk team is only in ninth place in the Western Conference table, having 21 points.

"Dynamo", despite all its problems, is seriously superior to "Vityaz" in all respects.
