Command Analysis
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo played away for a long time, where they consistently pleased fans with successful results. The team even managed to earn a winning streak, which reached three matches in a row. In the first match, the Bisons met with Amur and left no chance for their competitor, defeating them with a score of 5:2. The attack line showed a great game, and in particular forward Volkov, who scored twice and also gave an assist. The team was able to consolidate its success in a match with a much more serious opponent, defeating Traktor (3:1). This time, goalkeeper Demchenko distinguished himself, reflecting 96% of the shots, which did not allow the Bears to cling to a comeback.
The Minsk team managed to get their third win in a row away from the clear favorite Ak Bars. Once again, the defense showed the most reliable game, and goalkeeper Demchenko was at his best. However, having returned to the home arena, the club was unable to continue its winning streak, suffering an offensive defeat from Spartak in overtime (2:3). The opponent equalized the score just seven minutes before the final whistle. Thanks to the large number of points scored, the club was able to strengthen its position in the playoff zone and is currently in seventh place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the infirmary of "Dynamo" everything is still unchanged. The team continues to play without Daniil Sotishvili.

- On average, Dynamo concedes 2.56 goals per match
The team continues to show excellent defensive play and rarely allows opponents to realize their potential in attack.

Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars had been in great shape for a long time, but recently they began to experience more and more difficulties. The team broke its winning streak of four games, playing away to Salavat Yulaev, where they were one step away from victory, but still suffered a defeat in overtime (2:3). However, having returned to their home arena, Kazan managed to take revenge on the Greens, snatching victory in regulation time with a difference of one goal (3:2). However, it is worth noting that they managed to achieve success only due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Miftakhov, who reflected 46 shots out of 48.
It seemed that the team would be able to consolidate their success at home or at least get some points in the match with Dynamo Minsk, but this did not happen. There were problems with converting moments in the attack, which led to another failure with a score of 1:3. Then the "Bars" went to visit Dynamo Moscow and this time they still achieved their goal, showing their full attacking potential and winning (6:5). Defender Lyamkin showed a great game, scoring twice and also giving two assists. Even despite the lost points, the club continues to remain in third place in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the leader has decreased to two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ak Bars has no problems with its roster. Only Babenko is in the infirmary, and all the other players remain in the ranks.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ak Bars concedes an average of just 2.34 goals per game
It is impossible not to note the club very strong defense, due to which it achieves success.
- Kazan players realized 23% of their power play attempts
Throughout the regular championship, the team has been delighting fans with excellent use of their numerical superiority.
Trends
Goal in each period bet - no

2.05Bet First Goal: Dynamo
In three out of four head-to-head matches, Dynamo opened the scoring
1.95Tip and bets
The teams met recently, and then Dynamo won. Now Ak Bars has a great opportunity to take revenge, which Kazan should definitely take advantage of. It would seem that it is more difficult to prove yourself on the road, but it is worth noting that the Bars have almost never lost away from home lately. But the Minsk team has not been able to achieve the desired result at home for five matches in a row. Bookmakers give very high odds for the success of the guests, which we suggest taking advantage of.
Our prediction is Ak Bars' victory in the match for 1.80
Bet on total
It is not worth expecting a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Both teams have been distinguished by very reliable play in defense throughout the regular championship and are unlikely to allow each other to fully realize their potential in attack.
Forecast - total under five goals for 1.85
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Ak Bars' first period is far from being the most successful, which Dynamo will try to take advantage of. We believe that due to the home advantage, the Bisons are quite capable of giving Kazan a serious rebuff at the start of the match.
Prediction - Dynamo win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.95
