After a series of successful away games, in which Dynamo won three victories in a row, the team returned to its home arena, where it was unable to continue to perform in the same spirit and lost to Spartak in extra time with a score of 2:3. The opponent equalized the score seven minutes before the end of the game. A tense game was expected in the next match with the team from Kazan, but the team won a confident victory with a score of 5:1.

Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo continues to be in a state of decline, which has been going on for quite a long time. In nine matches, the team was able to win only two victories, and most of the remaining matches ended in regular time. In away matches, Torpedo showed a good game. The team was able to almost beat Vityaz with a score of 5:6 in overtime, and also to impose a fight on St. Petersburg SKA, losing with a score of 4:6. As you can see, the team main problem remains a weak defense, which allows opponents to create and realize many dangerous moments in their zone.
After returning to their home arena, the Avtozavodtsy suffered a crushing defeat against Lokomotiv with a score of 0:5. The team made only 22 shots on target in three periods, which is uncharacteristic for them. However, in a match with one of the league outsiders, Barys, Torpedo managed to break the losing streak and win confidently with a score of 3:1. This result was predictable, since the Kazakhs were in poor shape and significantly inferior to their opponents in all respects. However, in a match with another outsider , Kunlun , the team was unable to achieve success. Once again, problems arose in defense, and the match ended in defeat in overtime with a score of 3:4. Goalkeeper Bocharov showed a weak game, reflecting only 85% of the shots. Such weak performances of the club led to the fact that it no longer feels so confident in the playoff zone. He is currently in eighth place in the Western Conference standings and if he continues to perform like this, he will soon fall even lower.

1.75Tip and bets
Dynamo is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are many reasons. Firstly, the Minsk team has been in its best form since the beginning of the season, which allows them to crush both opponents of their level and clear favorites. Secondly, the team will play at home, where, with the support of fans, it shows excellent results. Also, we must not forget that Torpedo consistently experiences serious problems from match to match and cannot start earning points consistently. We believe that the "bisons" have every chance to repeat their success and win another victory.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory for 2.02
Bet on total
Dynamo has been showing excellent defensive play lately, which is why they are achieving success. The Minsk team should also stop Torpedo pressure in the upcoming match, which means that we should not expect productive hockey. So, as a second bet, we choose total under.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, the Minsk team consistently creates serious problems for their opponents. We believe that due to the home advantage and the form they have gained, the club will be able to earn an advantage already at the end of the opening period.
Prediction - Dynamo win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.60
