Command Analysis

Dinamo Minsk

Current form
Dynamo quickly managed to rehabilitate itself after the disappointing defeat to Spartak in overtime (2:3). In the next match with Ak Bars, many expected a very serious fightback from Kazan, but the team won confidently with a score of 5:1. The defenders showed a high level of play, allowing the opponent to make only 18 shots on goal in three periods. The forwards also showed themselves, many of them scored. Continuing to play in their arena, the Bisons met with another strong opponent - Moscow Dynamo. Despite the efforts of the opponent, the Minsk team did not allow them to score a single puck, winning the match with a score of 1:0. The main hero of the meeting was goalkeeper Demchenko, who reflected 29 shots and made a shutout.
It seemed that there would be difficulties in the match with the current leader of the Western Conference Lokomotiv, but this time Kvartalnov's charges showed themselves in all their glory and confidently dealt with another favorite, defeating them with a score of 4:1. Defender Gross showed a great game, scoring twice and giving two assists. Then the club went away again, where they did not allow Torpedo to even score, winning a dry victory (3:0). Once again, Demchenko was at his best. It was expected that Dynamo would also be able to show its best side in the return match with the Nizhny Novgorod team, but this time there were serious problems in defense, which led to a defeat and an interrupted winning streak. Despite this, the club was able to seriously strengthen its position in the playoff zone and currently occupies the seventh line in the Western Conference table, having 51 points.

CSKA Moscow

Current form
CSKA has been in excellent shape for a long time, thanks to which it has consistently beaten any opponents on its way, with most matches ending in regulation time. It cannot be said that every victory was easy for the Muscovites, there were often problems that could have led to defeat, but due to the efforts of the defensive line or very high efficiency in the attack, it was possible to compensate for all the shortcomings. At the moment, the club is holding an away series, which it started very successfully. In the first match, the team met with Neftekhimik and still managed to snatch victory in overtime (2:1). Goalkeeper Gamzin made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 39 shots out of 40, which allowed the series of victories to be extended. Then the army men went to visit Sochi, where they also played very reliably, and were also able to show their attacking potential to the fullest, ultimately defeating the Leopards with a score of 4:1. The most productive player was forward Kamenev, who gave two assists.

In four head-to-head matches in a row, Dynamo opened the scoring
1.98Goal in each period bet - yes
In three of the five head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.55Tip and bets
Dynamo is a clear underdog in the upcoming match, which is quite strange. Although the Bisons suffered a defeat from Torpedo, they are still in excellent shape, and it is unlikely that the loss of points will greatly affect their morale. Indeed, CSKA is not showing its best at the moment, and in addition to this, it will be playing away, where it will be much more difficult to prove itself. So we suggest taking advantage of the very high odds and betting in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is Dynamo's victory in the match for 2.07
Bet on total
It is still not worth expecting a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Dynamo has recently been distinguished by a very reliable game in defense and very rarely allows opponents to realize their attack. So as a second bet, we choose total under.
Betting Tip - total under five goals for 1.77
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Dynamo also shows excellent play in the first period and very rarely allows opponents to gain an advantage in the starting segment. In the upcoming match, the Minsk team is also quite capable of creating serious problems for CSKA already at the very beginning of the match.
Betting Tip - Dynamo win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.98
