Command Analysis

Belarus

Current form
The Belarusian national team arrived in St. Petersburg with a fairly strong lineup, but took a long time to get going. The "red-greens" could not score against Kazakhstan for 40 minutes, but in the third 20 minutes they scored three times against Andrei Shutov (3:1). Dmitry Kvartalnov team was losing to Russia by 25 at the start of the second period, but literally a little over a minute later they took the lead, but still could not win (3:4, OT).
Vadim Moroz and Vitaly Pinchuk scored two goals each in the first two matches at the Channel One Cup, but Andrey Stas was also good (1+1). The other players are not so good yet, but they still have a chance to prove themselves.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Belarusian team will perform in its optimal composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- Belarus throws more than 36 times per game in this tournament.
- The Red-Greens have blocked 23 shots in their first two games.

KHL Stars

Current form
The KHL World Team did not play too badly in the match against the Russians, but did not give it their all, losing by three goals (1:4). Mike Keenan complained that the match against Roman Rotenberg team should have been the last one, but the calendar cannot be changed. The legionnaires could not afford to lose to the Kazakhs and quickly secured a two-goal advantage, holding on to the necessary result (3:1).
Andy Andreoff played well for Sibir in late autumn and is looking good at the Channel One Cup. The Canadian scored two points (1+1) in the goal+pass system, but Nathan Todd from Salavat Yulaev (0+2) can also be noted.
Disqualifications and injuries
The legionnaires have no problems with their composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- The KHL World Team made ten hits in the first two games.
- The league All-Stars won 56.1 percent of their faceoffs in the tournament.

1.48Tip and bets
The Belarusian team under the command of Dmitry Kvartalnov looks very good and after a long warm-up found its game. The "red-greens" finally finished off the Kazakhs and were very close to victory over Russia 25. The world team failed in the match against the wards of Roman Rotenberg and could not defeat the "blue-yellows". We think that the chances of Roman Starchenko team for success are no less. We believe that it is they who will take the second place in the tournament.
Prediction - victory of the Belarusian team in the match for 2.08
Bet on individual total
The World Team has scored only four goals in two matches and has not been able to realize its attacking potential to the fullest. Belarus has only conceded one goal from Kazakhstan and played quite well in defense against the tournament hosts. We do not think that foreigners are capable of notching up at least four goals.
We bet on the individual total of the KHL World Team under 3.5 goals for 1.62
Total Bet
So far, all the matches of the tournament are not very productive, and the goalkeepers are playing quite reliably. The final match of the tournament will be very important in terms of the final position in the table. In our opinion, the teams will play with an eye on their own goal and will not score more than six times.
We take the total under 6.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.70
