Command Analysis
HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun is in tenth place in the conference table and has not lost hope of getting into the playoffs. The team from Beijing has earned only 27 points in 32 starts and is seven points behind Dynamo Minsk, which is in eighth place. At the end of November, Mikhail Kravets' charges had a series of four victories and are now clearly in their best form this season. Red Star dealt with Avtomobilist (2:1, B), Traktor (4:1) and Neftekhimik (3:1) on the road, but then lost to Lada (1:2) after returning home. The Dragons could not score a goal against the Eagle Owls for a long time and tied the score only in the 55th minute. The hosts failed to maintain equality and conceded while short-handed less than two minutes before the final siren.
Parker Fu team remains the worst in the KHL in terms of defense. On average, the Chinese allow 3.5 goals per game, while at home this figure is even worse - 3.87 goals per game. Jeremy Smith remains the team undisputed number one. The goalie has reflected 91.08% of shots and made two shutouts this season, having spent a game on the ice. It should be noted that the "stars" have been doing well in defense lately and in the last five games they have allowed only five goals.
Tomáš Jurčo has been Kunlun top scorer throughout the regular season. The Slovakian forward has scored 18 goals (8+10) and is 63rd on the KHL list of goal scorers. Spencer Fu has scored two points less (7+9) and is also among the league top 100 offensive players.

HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Moscow Dynamo has long since returned to the ranks of the Western leaders and currently occupies the fourth line in the conference. The team led by Alexei Kudashov has 41 points in its bank and has played 31 matches in this regular season. The capital club is in excellent shape and only recently interrupted its series of six victories in a row. After a series of confident matches on the road, Nikita Gusev squad returned to Moscow and dryly beat Lokomotiv (3:0), returning the debt to the Yaroslavl team for the offensive defeat in Yaroslavl. Before the start of the current away tour, the "dynamics" lost to CSKA in the derby, playing on home ice. The "army men" were able to score in the middle of the meeting and did not allow the hosts to mark themselves with goals.
The defense of the "white-blues" is the second most reliable in the conference after the defense of "Loko". "Dynamo" allows 2.48 goals on average, while in the last five games the red light behind the visitors' goal has come on only nine times. Maxim Motorygin still takes to the ice in the most important games. The Russian has stopped 92.95% of shots and made three shutouts in 19 starts.
Nikita Gusev has lost the lead in the scoring race to Maxim Shabanov of Traktor. The Olympic champion has scored 30 points (13+17) in the goal+pass system and is by far the team leading sniper and assist provider. Jordan Weal has made 22 (8+14) scoring plays and currently ranks 37th in the KHL.

Trends

In three of the four previous games involving Dynamo, the first period was scoreless
1.85Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
In nine out of ten games, Dynamo scored in the second period
1.35Tip and bets
We think that Dynamo will start a new winning streak in Mytishchi. At the very beginning of the season, the "white-blues" lost to the Chinese on their home court, and they are unlikely to forget this insult. The "Dragons" had a great end of November, but they can still be safely called an away club that plays terribly in the Moscow region. In the entire history of confrontations in the KHL, Alexey Kudashov charges have never lost to the Beijing team on the road. We believe that this time, too, the Dynamo players will celebrate success. We suggest betting on the victory of the guests with a small minus handicap.
Forecast - Dynamo win with Asian handicap (-1) for 1.80
Bet on individual total
Kunlun rarely demonstrates good realization of moments on the ice of Arena Mytishchi. On average, Mikhail Kravets' charges score only 1.87 goals in the Moscow region per season. Dynamo plays well in defense and has rarely made mistakes in its own half of the ice lately. We don't think that the hosts will be able to upset their opponents more than twice.
We bet on Kunlun individual total of less than two goals for 1.85
Total Bet
The Chinese have improved their reliability and played well in defense in the second half of November. Dynamo problems with defense have long been resolved, while both of the guests' main goalkeepers are in good shape. In September, the match between the clubs was not spectacular and the opponents managed to score only four accurate hits between them. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.85
