"Kapitan" - "Dynamo-Shinnik": forecast for the MHL match
On January 5, "Kapitan" will host "Dynamo-Shinnik" from Bobruisk at the ice arena in Stupino. The hosts currently look much weaker than their opponent, which is what the guests, who lead the "Silver" division of the Western Conference, hope to take advantage of. Let see if "Kapitan" can resist the opponent and what bets to play? The answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Kapitan Stupino

Current form
The team from Stupino has surprised many in this championship with its play, showing not entirely confident results. However, what is there to be surprised about? Last season, the team took the last place and left the "Gold" division, and in the "Silver" division, it does not shine with results, playing much weaker than many of its rivals. In the current championship, the club under the leadership of Denis Kulyash has played 32 matches, has a negative difference in victories and losses - 11 victories with 21 losses, which corresponds to the fifth line in the "Silver" division of the Western Conference. "Captain" has missed 32 goals more than it has scored, which indicates poor performance in the attacking line. In the last calendar meeting, the team lost to "Russkie Vityazi" (1:2), having missed all its goals in equal compositions. The match before, the team also suffered a defeat from the Chekhov team with a score of 2:3, having missed a puck in each of the periods. The gap from the top three is a whole 10 points, and it will not be possible to make up such a gap before the end of the championship.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has failed to defeat its opponent in the last five head-to-head games
- On average, the team scores two goals per game

Dinamo Shinnik

Current form
This season, the team has been transformed and since the start of the championship is the leader of the Silver Division of the Western Conference. It is worth noting that the team imposes a fight on more experienced and famous opponents and fights for a play-in. In the past championship, the team lacked only two points to get into the top three and show themselves in the knockout matches, which is what the Belarusians intend to demonstrate this year. In the current MHL draw, Dynamo-Shinnik has the task of reaching the playoffs of the Kharlamov Cup and at this stage they are coping with this goal. After 34 matches, the hockey players leave the most pleasant impression in terms of the result and quality of the game, being the leader of their division. Andrei Mikhalev charges won 26 victories, suffered only eight defeats and are ahead of the Red Army by four points. In the last calendar match, the team lost to Krylia Sovetov (3:4), but in the game earlier they left no chance for the same Moscow team, winning 3:0 in the end.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered only four defeats in its last 15 matches.
- The team is averaging four goals per game this season.
