“Kunlun” - “Dynamo” Minsk: forecast for the KHL match
On November 17, Kunlun will play Dynamo Minsk on their home court. Red Star continues to show poor results and remains the main outsider in the East. The Zubrs are doing much better this season, and they came to Mytishchi with only one goal - to earn two points. They are unlikely to be satisfied with any other result. Moreover, the Kvarts team has not yet won a single victory in regular time on their home ice. Is it worth betting on the success of the guests? You can find out from the forecast

Command Analysis

HC Red Star Kunlun

Current form
Kunlun is in last place in the West and is already three points behind Sochi, which is ahead. The Chinese have earned only 19 points in 27 games and are unlikely to be able to fight for the playoffs this season. It should be noted that throughout the regular season, the team has shown inconsistent results and, at best, alternates successful matches with defeats. Incidentally, at the moment, it is on exactly such a streak. Before that, it dealt with Barys on the road (2:0), suffered a rout from Severstal (2:7), and already at home, it incredibly beat SKA (2:1 OT) and lost in the fight to the same Cherepovets team with a score of 3:4. Before returning home, Mikhail Kravets' charges lost to Sochi (5:6, OT) in overtime.
By the way, the club plays very poorly in defense and is currently the league worst goalscorer. As a rule, even on home ice, Red Star concedes at least four goals per game, and we also need to take into account the fact that it has not won a single victory in regulation time at its home arena. The team worst performance is the second period, during which it concedes a lot and has a 15:40 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded.
As for the attack, the best attacking player is still Tomáš Jurčo. The Slovakian forward scored 16 points in the fall (7+9) and it is not yet clear who will be able to displace him. The closest pursuer in the person of Luke Lockhart made only 14 effective actions (6+8).
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Kunlun has 25:27 in goals scored and conceded in the third period
Red Star are at their best in the third period and often score goals in it
- On average, Kunlun allows their opponents to take 33 shots on target
Kunlun plays second fiddle and spends most of the time in its own zone

Dinamo Minsk

Current form
Dynamo has improved significantly this season and has become an unpleasant opponent for many clubs. The team currently occupies the eighth place in the Western Conference, but at any moment it can improve and end up in conditional fifth place, from which it is separated by literally one point. Note that in the four previous meetings, the "bison" did not remain without points. On home ice, they dealt with Salavat Yulaev (3:2 SO) and Severstal (3:1), but in the last match they still lost to Torpedo (1:2 OT).
The away series of matches also started very well for the Minsk team, since in the opening away match they proved their superiority over Vityaz with a score of 6:4, although during that match they were losing 2:4, but they had an incredible third period, during which they scored four unanswered goals. This does not happen to the Dynamo team often, especially in the final twenty minutes, since they perform best in the second period, in which they have 30:23 in goals scored and conceded.
It is worth mentioning that Dmitry Kvartalnov team plays decently in the minority and is the best in the league in this indicator, having 87.2% of neutralization of the opponent majority. At the same time, Dynamo does not use its numerical advantage well and today has only 15.7% of the extra man implementation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo currently has no problems with its roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Dynamo receives 7.15 minutes of penalty time
The "Bisons" try to play quite disciplined and usually do not get sent off more than three or four times per match
- On average, Dynamo players take 36 shots on target
At every convenient opportunity, Dmitry Kvartalnov team tries to make a shot at the opponent goal
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three of the previous four matches involving Kunlun, at least two goals were scored in the first period
1.75Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
Kunlun has conceded in the second period for six games in a row
1.32Tip and bets
Dynamo must not lose points in the match against Kunlun. Dmitry Kvartalnov team wants to consolidate their place in the top eight and break away from Vityaz, which is constantly "on their heels." The Chinese are playing terribly in Mytishchi and still have not won in the Moscow region in regular time. Mikhail Kravets' team earned only five points on their home court and is unlikely to upset such a motivated opponent. We do not think that the visitors will have any problems. The Minsk team should easily take two points. We suggest betting on the victory of the second in regular time.
Prediction - Dynamo win for 1.72
Total Bet
Previous matches between the clubs were productive, but at the end of September the teams did not have the most spectacular match. Kunlun very rarely does not miss at least four goals on home ice, which the guests should take advantage of. At the same time, Mikhail Kravets' charges regularly force their opponents to make mistakes in defense and use their chances well. Let play a bet on the total over goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on individual total
Red Star concedes 4.31 goals per game in Mytishchi and is the team that concedes the most goals in the league. Yes, the Minsk team offense can hardly be called strong, but it is on the road that Dynamo shows its best hockey in attack. Vadim Shipachev team scores 3.42 goals per game on the road and, in our opinion, it will not be a big problem for them to upset the Beijing team at least three times.
We bet on Dynamo individual total of more than three goals for 1.58
