Dynamo Moscow vs. Sibir: KHL Match Prediction
Dynamo returns home in a great mood after three away wins. On November 20, Alexey Kudashov charges will try to win their fourth victory in a row in a match against Sibir. The Snowmen are in terrible shape and are not among the eight best teams in the East. Just a few days ago, the Novosibirsk team failed to cope with the pressure of the Muscovites with the support of their fans. Will they be able to take revenge in the capital of Russia? We tell you about this in the forecast for the confrontation

Command Analysis

HC Dynamo Moscow

Current form
Dynamo is currently one of the top four clubs in the Western Conference and has 35 points. Of course, the current state of affairs cannot fully satisfy the club management and fans, since the team has great ambitions and initially planned to be at least in the top three. Dynamo can improve their position at any moment, since they are currently only two points behind third place and have two games in hand. The "white-blues" failed to score points in only one match out of the previous 13. In the away series, the Muscovites demonstrated their class and beat teams from Omsk (5:3), Novosibirsk (2:1) and Chelyabinsk (4:3, B). Alexey Kudashov charges were leading the score throughout the entire match against Traktor, but conceded two goals at the end and only finished off the Urals team in overtime.
The Moscow team has improved its defense and looked quite reliable in previous starts. In the last five matches, Dynamo missed 13 goals, and the day before, Hunter Miska got his chance after a long time. The American looked good throughout the match, but failed at the end. It is unlikely that the coaching staff will remove Maxim Motorygin from the role of the capital club number one.
Nikita Gusev was on a crazy run and was scoring points in every game, but his streak was broken in Chelyabinsk. The Dynamo captain leads the KHL scoring race with 27 points (10+17). The forward closest pursuer is defenseman Brian Menell with 18 (3+15) scoring actions.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo concedes 2.63 goals per game
Muscovites have worked on their defensive play and are now conceding fewer goals than before.
- According to statistics, Muscovites win 52.1% of faceoffs
Dynamo players take the majority of face-offs.

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
In the second half of October, Sibir began a decline that continues to this day. The team from Novosibirsk lost nine out of ten previous matches and is currently only in ninth place in the Eastern Conference table. The Snowmen have 23 points after 25 starts and are only one point behind Lada, which is ahead. Vadim Epanchintsev charges failed in a series of games at home and lost to Salavat Yulaev (2:3, B), Metallurg (1:4), SKA (0:1, B) and Dynamo Moscow (1:2) in turn. The visitors had a real chance to win, but they were constantly lacking something. In the match against the White-Blues, they were leading in the score, but could not hold on to the positive result.
Sergei Shirokov team is experiencing serious problems in attack. In the last five games, Sibir has scored only eight goals, four of which were against Metallurg (4:3), when the "snowflakes" still managed to win. Trevor Murphy remains the club top scorer with 21 points (4+17) in the "goal+pass" system. For four games in a row, the Canadian defenseman has not participated in goal attacks.
It cannot be said that Novosibirsk plays poorly in defense. Goalies Denis Kostin and Anton Krasotkin have blocked 91.3% of shots this season, but in the last five games the visitors have conceded only 11 times.
Disqualifications and injuries
"Sibir" will arrive in the capital of Russia in its optimal composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sibir has a 48.1% win rate on faceoffs
The Snowmen are rather mediocre at the point and do not have center forwards with good statistics in this area.
- On average, the "snowflakes" allow 30 shots on their goal
Sergei Shirokov team spends a lot of time in defense and plays second fiddle
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of four games involving Sibir, the first period was not productive
1.68Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
Muscovites have scored in the second period in six games
1.45Tip and bets
Dynamo looks stronger and more stable than its opponent at this stage of the season. Yes, Dynamo has started scoring less, but now they play much better in defense and are unlikely to fail as they did at the start of the season. Quite recently, Alexey Kudashov charges took two points from Novosibirsk and did not allow Sibir to do anything on their half of the ice. Sergei Shirokov team is in a deep crisis and, in our opinion, will again be left without points. We suggest betting on the victory of the hosts in regular time.
Prediction - Dynamo win for 1.70
Bet on individual total
Sibir can't convert their chances and doesn't create enough threats at their opponents' goal. In four games on home ice, Vadim Epanchintsev charges have only scored four goals within regulation time. We don't expect a strong game from the visitors and believe that the Muscovites' defense will withstand the onslaught of the furious "snowmen".
We bet on the individual total of "Siberia" less than two goals for 1.70
Total Bet
A few days ago the teams met each other in Siberia and the meeting was not spectacular. Dynamo changed the game pattern and now, first of all, thinks about its goal. Siberia simply does not have the resources to go forward and try to beat the Muscovites in a shootout. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
We take the total under five goals with a coefficient of 1.78
