Sibir vs. Dynamo Minsk: KHL Match Forecast
On December 2, Sibir will play a home match against Dynamo Minsk, for which we will try to provide an accurate forecast. The Novosibirsk team is currently far from its optimal form, but the Zubrs are also in mediocre condition and are on a three-game losing streak. However, the previous two matches between the clubs ended in favor of the visitors, so they should not be written off in any way. What bet should you place on this event? Find the answer below
Command Analysis
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference and has 27 points. It is far from certain that the team will be able to easily return to the playoff zone in the near future, since it continues to show very unstable results and is experiencing a lot of problems, although it is only a couple of points away from the top eight. It should be emphasized that the Novosibirsk team recently faced an unlucky streak and suffered five defeats in a row. Fortunately, they beat Sochi (4:2) on the road, and after another unsuccessful match against Metallurg (1:3) they returned to their home court, where they dealt with Barys with a score of 2:0.
By the way, in the match against Astana, Denis Kostin made a shutout, thanks to which the club for the first time since the beginning of October remained without a single missed goal. On average, at least two or three pucks end up in his net. Also note that while the "snowmen" continue to show a decent game in the majority (although their indicator is falling), in terms of playing in the minority, they remain one of the worst clubs in the league and have only 77.2% neutralization.
As a rule, Vadim Epanchintsev team plays the final twenty minutes most mediocrely, during which they have a 27:32 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. It is also worth mentioning that Sibir has recently demonstrated rather low efficiency and in many cases could not open up the opponents' defense more than once or twice.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Siberia makes 26 shots on target per match
Novosibirsk residents show low shooting activity this season
- "Siberia" has 26.8% of the majority sales
According to this indicator, the team takes first place in the championship
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo is in eighth place in the Western Conference and has 34 points in total. The team cannot be completely satisfied with its current position, since it previously felt more comfortable and was in the top six. Fortunately, it cannot find itself outside the playoff zone in the near future, since it is four points ahead of its closest pursuer. Now the Minsk team is experiencing a certain decline and has lost four of its previous five matches. They were able to beat Avangard on the road (5:2), but, returning to their home court, they had unsuccessful matches against Dynamo Moscow (3:4), Avtomobilist (2:3 OT) and Traktor (3:4 OT).
In each case, the "bison" had excellent chances for a favorable outcome, but they were unable to please the fans, going to the away series in far from the best mood. True, on the road this year, Dmitry Kvartalnov team plays well and in exactly half of the matches they played they achieved victory in regular time.
As a rule, the club plays most powerfully in the second twenty minutes and makes excellent use of the additional free space that appears because of the "far" benches. In this game segment, Dynamo has a ratio of 37:27 in goals scored and conceded and regularly excels in goals scored in it.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo currently has no problems with its roster
Interesting trends for betting

2.85Tip and bets
"Sibir" has been performing mediocrely both on the road and at home recently, and has lost many points. The Minsk team has looked more than worthy in recent matches and has given a powerful rebuff to the leaders, so we would consider them the favorites of this confrontation. Plus, on other courts, the "bison" show, in general, good results and often achieve success in regular time. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that in the five previous face-to-face meetings, the Novosibirsk team could not deal with its opponent within 60 minutes, so a bet on a victory for the Minsk team with a handicap looks like a good option.
Prediction - Dynamo win with handicap (0) for 1.95
Bet on individual total
In most of the previous matches, Sibir showed mediocre results and could not score more than one or two goals. Even in the last confrontation with the obvious outsider Barys, the "snowmen" were left with only two goals in the asset. In the five previous meetings with Novosibirsk, the Minsk team managed with less than three goals conceded. Considering the problems of the hosts with the implementation of moments, we suggest taking their total this time.
We take the individual total of "Siberia" less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.82
Total Bet
Bookmakers offer quite a high total for this match, although previous meetings between the teams often turned out to be "low" and took place in a low-scoring struggle. Plus, "Sibir" always tries to stick to a closed style of play, so in the upcoming match we are not inclined to expect active hockey from it. It is also necessary to say that "Dynamo" plays a completely different hockey against such opponents.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals for 1.67
