1.75Tip and bets
We don't think that anything will stop the hosts from scoring points in this match. The Petersburgers are in great shape and are beating one opponent after another. The visitors are significantly inferior in class and lost heavily to Dynamo in their last face-to-face meeting, despite having the advantage of home ice. We think that the Rostov club will not be able to do anything against them on the other side of the ice.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Dynamo Saint Petersburg for 1.72
Bet on total
The hosts are one of the league leaders in terms of goals scored and in almost every home game they please fans with high efficiency. We believe that now the team will impose its style of play on the opponent and we will see attacking hockey with a large number of goals scored.
Our prediction is total over 5.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on individual total
The hosts have no problems in attack, the team has scored an average of three goals since the beginning of the season. We believe that Dynamo will be able to upset the opponent goalkeeper more than four times, because in the last face-to-face match the Rostovites missed six goals.
Forecast - Dynamo individual total more than four goals for 2.20
