SKA vs. Dynamo Moscow: KHL Match Forecast
SKA returned to the home arena after an away series in which they showed mixed results. On December 5, the team will host a very serious opponent in the person of Moscow Dynamo and will try to cling to points again. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast in which they will describe the state of the teams and also help determine the bets
Command Analysis
SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
After successfully completing the home series and defeating Torpedo with a score of 4:1, SKA went to play away, where in the first match they met Admiral and were one step away from another victory, but suffered an offensive defeat in the shootout (2:3). The Petersburgers could have lost in regulation time, but still managed to equalize the score a few minutes before the final whistle. Once again, the defensive line showed its worst side, which allowed the "sailors" to create a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone, and in total the opponent made 43 shots on goal, which became the key factor in the failure. Goalkeeper Moyasevic tried his best, but was unable to cope with such pressure from the Vladivostok team.
Then the "army men" went to visit the obvious outsider in the person of "Amur" and again showed a terrible game in defense, but this time they managed to rehabilitate themselves due to a very high performance in the attack, winning a confident victory in regular time (7:5). Forwards Kuznetsov and Khairulin showed a great game, scoring five points each. Indeed, this season the team is experiencing huge problems with both the defensive and goalie lines, which is the main reason for the club failures. Despite this, SKA remains in fourth place in the Western Conference table, although the gap from the leader is 16 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
The St. Petersburg team has no serious problems with its roster. Only forward Zakhar Bardakov and defender Artem Zeichenko are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting

The club continues to be the most productive in the league.
- On average, the St. Petersburg team receives 8.9 penalty minutes per match.

HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo had been in excellent shape for a long time and even managed to earn a winning streak of six games in a row. However, playing at home, they had to interrupt the series of successful performances, suffering an offensive defeat from CSKA in regulation time with a difference of only one goal (0:1). It is worth noting that the Muscovites made twice as many shots as their opponents, but this did not bring the desired result. The club was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans already on the road, where with great difficulty they snatched a victory from the obvious outsider in the person of Kunlun (5:4 OT). This time, goalkeeper Motorygin was far from the most reliable, reflecting only 87% of the shots.
Continuing to play away, the "white-blues" met with "Ak Bars" and this time again showed their full attacking potential, which allowed them to win with a score of 4:3. This time, the goal was defended by goalkeeper Miska, who showed himself no better than his teammate, and mainly because of him, the problems arose. It is worth noting that before this, "Dynamo" did not experience any problems with away matches and consistently earned points on the road. It was due to confident play in the attack that the team was able to rise to third place in the Western Conference table, ahead of SKA and earning 43 points for the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo has absolutely no problems with its roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Dynamo concedes 2.6 goals per match
Muscovites can boast of a very unreliable defensive game.
- The "white-blues" realized 23% of their power play attempts
It is also worth noting the excellent implementation of the numerical superiority on the court.
Trends
Bet First Goal: SKA
In four out of five head-to-head matches, SKA opened the scoring
1.75Goal in each period bet - yes
In three of the four head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period.
2.24Tip and bets
Bookmakers in the upcoming match single out SKA as a clear favorite and give Dynamo a very high coefficient for a victory, which can be taken advantage of. The Petersburgers have only recently come to their senses and have not yet managed to return to their previous form. Dynamo, in turn, shows an excellent game on the road, where they practically do not lose. The Army Men have huge problems in defense, which they have not yet been able to compensate for, even taking into account the very high efficiency. So we suggest making a confident bet on the “white-blues” not losing in regular time.
Our prediction is that Dynamo will not lose at 1.97
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored. Both clubs are not used to sitting back in defense and almost always bet on the defensive line, so as a second bet we choose total under.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.97
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Still, SKA shouldn't be underestimated on the home court. The Petersburgers, thanks to their powerful attacking line, may well not allow Dynamo to gain an advantage at the end of the opening period.
Forecast - SKA win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.56
