Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast in which they will tell you about the clubs' latest matches and also help you decide on bets
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard started the home series successfully and in the first match they fought against SKA from St. Petersburg, winning in regulation time (2:1). The Omsk team took advantage of their opponent weak form and played on opposite courses, which allowed them to achieve the desired result. It is also worth noting the efforts of goalkeeper Khomchenko, who reflected 33 shots out of 34. However, the team was unable to consolidate their success. They had to fight another very powerful opponent in the person of Dynamo Moscow and suffer a defeat with a score of 3:5. Oddly enough, this time Zvyagin charges played much more reliably in defense and allowed the Muscovites to make only 22 shots on goal, but this did not save them from failure.
Still, the "hawks" rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, snatching victory from "Neftekhimik" in overtime (3:2). The attack line played much better than at the start of the home series, and in particular, it is worth noting Bushe, Grant and Spooner, who scored two points each. Indeed, "Avangard" began to recover from a terrible start to the season and recently scored quite a lot of points, thanks to which it is approaching the playoff zone, the gap from which has been reduced to two points. However, it is worth noting that the club main problem has not gone away, and it continues to experience difficulties both in creating and in implementing moments in attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Avangard still has problems with its roster. Goalkeeper Berdin is in the infirmary, as are defenders Boykov and Stepanov.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Avangard scores 2.36 goals per match
It is difficult to say whether Omsk will be able to improve their attacking game this season, but so far there are no prerequisites for this.
- The Hawks converted 25% of their power play attempts.
Despite problems with scoring, the team continues to consistently capitalize on its numerical superiority.
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
After an unsuccessful end to the home series and a disappointing defeat to Torpedo (1:2 OT), Dynamo went on the road, where in the first match they met with a clear underdog in the form of Vityaz. Few could have expected that by the end of the second period the Minsk team would already be losing with a score of 2:4, but the team did not give up, but on the contrary, picked up the pace, which allowed them not only to make a comeback, but to win a confident victory (6:4). Forward Shipachev showed a great game, scoring twice and also giving two assists. It is impossible not to mention defenseman Gross, who scored three goals.
It seemed that after such a successful start, the "bisons" would continue to please fans with their results, but in the match with "Kunlun" the club efficiency disappeared. "Dynamo", despite a huge number of shots, was unable to score a single puck, suffering a dry defeat (0:3). Indeed, this season, Kvartalnov charges often have this problem. The team consistently creates a lot of dangerous moments in the opponent zone, but their implementation leaves much to be desired. It is for this reason that the Minsk team is still only in eighth place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Dynamo has absolutely no problems with the roster. All players are in the ranks, and the infirmary is empty.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Dynamo takes 37 shots per match
The Minsk team consistently makes a huge number of shots at the opponent goal.
- The Bisons are allowing an average of 2.4 goals per game.
It is also worth noting the club rather strong defense.
Trends
Bet First Goal: Avangard
In five out of six head-to-head matches, Avangard opened the scoring
1.80Goal in each period bet - yes
In four of the six head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period.
1.60Tip and bets
Bookmakers clearly single out Avangard as the favorite in the upcoming match, but this looks rather strange. The team continues to be in poor shape, beating mostly outsiders or clubs that are on the decline. Home walls rarely help them achieve the desired result, so it is unlikely that we should expect a confident victory from them. Indeed, Dynamo suffered a setback away to Kunlun, but it should be taken into account that the Bisons looked much better than their competitor, they were just unlucky in converting their chances again. We believe that the Minsk team has every chance to adequately resist the Hawks, and we are betting in their favor.
Our prediction is that Dynamo will not lose at 1.70
Bet on total
It is still not worth expecting a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Dynamo is unlikely to be able to show its full attacking potential on the road, and Avangard has had problems with scoring throughout the season. So, as a second bet, we choose total under.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.84
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Avangard starts matches well and quite often earns an advantage already in the starting segment, which they are quite capable of doing in the upcoming match, given the home advantage.
Prediction - Avangard wins in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.65
