Command Analysis
Vityaz
Russian FederationCurrent form
Vityaz ended its long away series of six games, which ultimately turned out to be a failure. The team managed to win only two victories over Torpedo (2:1) and Minsk Dynamo (4:1). In the match with the Bisons, the team certainly should not have celebrated success, as it made only 19 shots on goal, which is more than two times less than the opponent. The Podolsk team was simply luckier in converting moments in attack, and goalkeeper Doroshko also showed an excellent game, not allowing the opponent to make a comeback. In the same way, the Bogatyrs were able to give a worthy rebuff to Spartak, but this time they were unable to maintain the advantage, losing in overtime (3:4).
Returning to the home arena, the team fought with an opponent of their level, in the person of Sochi, and again could not show their attacking potential to the full extent, losing with a score of 1:3. This time, goalkeeper Shikin stood in the goal, reflecting only 83% of the shots. In the match with Severstal, Doroshko again took to the ice and did not allow the Cherepovets team to score a single puck, thanks to which Vityaz again won, and without a goal (2:0). The points scored helped the team rise to ninth place in the Eastern Conference table, three points behind the playoff zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vityaz has virtually no problems with its roster. Only defender Grigoriy Vaschenko is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Vityaz scores only 2.3 goals per match
The Podolsk team still can't get their attacking game going and rarely scores a lot of goals.
- The Bogatyrs converted 21.4% of their power play attempts
The team often takes advantage of dangerous moments when they have a numerical advantage.
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo finished a four-game home series with mixed results. In the first match, the team faced Vityaz and seemed to have an easy win over the obvious underdog. However, serious problems arose with converting attacking opportunities, despite their abundance. As a result, Dynamo suffered a 1:4 defeat. However, the Minsk team quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, snatching a victory over a much more powerful competitor, Salavat Yulaev, with a score of 3:2 in a shootout. The defensive line once again showed its best side, especially goalkeeper Tikhomirov, who reflected 96% of the shots, avoiding additional problems.
Then the "bisons" played with "Severstal" and won a more confident victory with a score of 3:1. This time Tikhomirov again became the hero of the match, thanks to his reliable play. "Dynamo" was one step away from a third victory in a row in the match with "Torpedo", but suffered an offensive defeat in overtime with a score of 1:2. The opponent made only 12 shots on the Minsk goal in three periods, but this was enough for the victory. In general, the "bisons" have shown a good game this season, periodically delighting fans with successful results. Thanks to this, the team is in eighth place in the Western Conference table, lagging behind the fourth position by only three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo has absolutely no problems with the roster. All players are in the ranks and will be able to take part in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Bisons are allowing an average of 2.4 goals per game.
The team distinctive feature remains its very reliable defensive play, which allows it to achieve success.
- On average, Minsk players take 37 shots per match
It is also impossible not to note Dynamo’s very active play in attack, which allows them to create a huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent’s zone.

1.55Tip and bets
Although Dynamo will be playing away, it has an excellent opportunity to take revenge on Vityaz. The Podolsk team rarely gives a worthy rebuff to obvious favorites, and home walls do not particularly help the team earn points. At the moment, the Bisons are in excellent shape and consistently earn points. In the last face-to-face match, it was the Minsk team that should have won, since they created very serious pressure on the Podolsk team throughout the match. It is hard to believe that the Bogatyrs will be able to cope with the powerful pressure of the opponent again, and we suggest betting in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory at 2.17
Bet on total
However, we shouldn't expect a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Vityaz is experiencing serious problems both with creating and implementing moments in attack and will again sit back in defense, which will have a negative impact on the overall performance of the match.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.86
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Dynamo will once again start to put serious pressure on Vityaz from the very start of the match, which should bring the expected result this time. We believe that the Bisons have excellent chances to earn an advantage after the opening period.
Prediction - Dynamo win in the first period for 2.62
