Command Analysis

Dinamo Minsk

Current form
Dynamo still can't cope with the slump and have been earning points with great difficulty for a long period of time. The team has completed a three-game away series, in which it did not show its best and suffered defeats in the first two matches against Lokomotiv (2:3) and Severstal (2:5). What is noteworthy is that in the match against Cherepovets, the Bisons made almost twice as many shots on target, but this was not enough for success. Goalkeeper Tikhomirov showed his worst side, reflecting only 83% of the shots. They managed to rehabilitate themselves only away to Torpedo, where Kvartalnov charges were still able to show their attacking potential to the fullest and won a confident victory with a score of 5:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions.
Returning to the home arena in a good mood, Dynamo should have confidently dealt with the underdog Vityaz, but this did not happen. The team again could not cope with the opponent pressure, suffering another rout (1:4). But in the match with Salavat Yulaev, the club showed the most reliable game in defense, allowing the opponent to make only 18 shots on target, which helped snatch victory in the shootout (3:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
In the infirmary of Dynamo everything remains unchanged. The team continues to play without goalkeeper Andrey Kareyev and forward Andrey Stas.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Dynamo concedes 2.4 goals per match
The Bisons often cope with the pressure of their opponents and rarely allow a large number of goals.
- Minsk residents realized only 15% of their power play attempts
The team has big problems with realizing its numerical superiority, which has been evident throughout the season.

Severstal Cherepovets

Current form
Severstal has been in excellent shape for a long time, as it consistently copes with all opponents on its way, and the winning streak has already reached seven matches. However, it is worth noting that the team has not met with serious competitors, beating mainly the outsiders of the league or clubs that are on the decline. Thus, the Cherepovets team confidently dealt with Amur twice (2:1 and 3:0), and also easily defeated Sibir with a score of 4:2. Difficulties arose only in the game with Admiral, but due to very high efficiency in the attack, it was possible to make a comeback and snatch victory in overtime (6:5).
The team also left no chances for Dynamo Minsk (5:2) and Kunlun (7:2) at home. Fourth-line forward Dumbadze showed himself well, scoring four goals in both games. In the return match with Red Star, the Cherepovets team did not play so confidently, but still snatched a victory in regulation time with a score of 4:3. As you can see, Kozyrev charges used their superiority over the obvious outsiders each time, but it is still impossible not to highlight the very productive game of Severstal, which allowed it to rise to fourth place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
It can be said that Severstal has no problems with its roster, since only forward Alexander Skorenov is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Severstal scores 3.3 goals per match
This season, the Cherepovets team has been distinguished by its very confident attacking play and has consistently taken advantage of its opponents’ defensive lapses.
- The Steelers average six penalty minutes per game.
The team also deserves praise for their very disciplined play, which allowed them to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.
Trends
Bet First Goal: Dynamo
In four out of five head-to-head matches, Dynamo opened the scoring
1.78Goal in each period bet - no
In three out of five head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
2.35Tip and bets
In the previous match, Dynamo suffered a crushing defeat by three goals. However, it is worth noting that in that game, the Bisons looked much better than Severstal and created many dangerous moments in attack. But the implementation was a little disappointing. Now, the Minsk team will play at home, where, with the support of the fans, they are simply obliged to play much more reliably. This will allow them to easily take revenge and stop the Cherepovets team. Although the steelmakers have not lost for a long time, it is worth considering that they only cope with the league outsiders.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory at 2.12
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect productive hockey, since both teams still prefer an open game and do not sit back in defense, which is especially true for Severstal. So, as a second bet, we suggest choosing total over.
Forecast - total over five goals for 1.65
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, Dynamo, thanks to the home advantage, has an excellent opportunity to give Severstal a powerful rebuff, which will allow the Minsk team to win in the opening period.
Prediction - Dynamo win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.65
