Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo did not play well at the end of December and dropped to seventh place in the conference, but after the break, the capital club improved sharply and returned to third place in the West. The Muscovites scored 57 points in 44 games and are only two points behind the second place. The white-blues have been performing well in January and have not lost a single time in 2025. Alexey Kudashov charges had a strong away series and beat Severstal in turn (7:2) and celebrated success twice in Sochi (5:1 and 2:0). Returning home, the capital hockey players won a strong-willed victory over SKA (5:4). The hosts were losing 1:3 during the first period of the meeting, but turned the tide of the match and ultimately scored the decisive goal in the last minute of regular time.
Nikita Gusev scored the winning goal in the last match and earned three points in the last two games, and the team scored as many as 19 times after two games without goals. The forward and captain of Dynamo is still among the top three scorers in the league with 43 points (16+27) in the goal+pass system. In addition to him, Maxime Comtois and Jordan Weale can be singled out. The legionnaires earned 31 points each.

Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal had a great end to last year, but with the beginning of the new one they started to lose again. Andrey Kozyrev charges got down to business before the break for the Channel One Cup, but now they have again dropped to sixth place in the conference. At the moment, the steelmakers have 55 points after 44 matches and they can get closer to CSKA and other Western leaders. In the new year, Adam Liszka team was routed by Moscow Dynamo (2:7), but quickly recovered and beat Spartak by a large margin (5:3). Before the start of the current away series, the Cherepovets team was unable to finish off the guests from Omsk (5:6, B), and in the first away match they achieved success in Balashikha (2:1).
The black and yellows have not been performing well on their own half of the ice this period of the season. In the four previous games, they have conceded 16 times, and goalies Alexander Samoilov and Konstantin Shostak have seriously improved their performance in terms of the percentage of shots saved. It was Samoilov who took to the ice in the last game against Vityaz and did a good job of helping his partners out during the match.
Kirill Pilipenko remains the top scorer of the club from the Vologda region. The forward scored 41 points (21+20) and ranks fifth in the list of the most productive hockey players in the KHL. Daniil Aymurzin, who is in excellent shape and scored in the last four matches out of five, has come close to him. The young forward has 37 points (24+13) in the goal+pass system.

Trends
Bet 2nd period: total over 1.5 goals
In five out of six matches involving Severstal, the second period was productive
1.65Bet 3rd period: Dynamo will score
In three out of four games, Muscovites scored in the third period
1.40Tip and bets
After an unpleasant series of defeats at the end of last year, Dynamo got some time to rest and returned in excellent shape. The Muscovites won four games in a row, while showing great attack, scoring 19 goals in January. Severstal scored points in three out of four games after the New Year break, but in each game the Cherepovets team lacked confidence. This season, the white-blues have twice very confidently dealt with the steelworkers, and most recently tore apart Adam Lishka team in the Vologda region with a score of 7:2. We think that the hosts will win again on their home court. We suggest betting on a Dynamo victory within regular time.
Prediction - Dynamo win for 1.97
Bet on individual total
Dynamo has gained excellent form and played well in attack in recent matches. The team from Moscow has scored 19 times in four matches after the break, while Severstal recently conceded seven times in a match against the capital club. Nikita Gusev team creates many chances in each game, so we believe in at least three accurate shots from the hosts.
We bet on Dynamo individual total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Total Bet
Meetings involving teams are usually productive. Severstal played brightly in the home series, but played rather boringly in Balashikha. Dynamo knows how to put on a show and has been playing without looking back at its own goal lately. In two matches this season, the teams have scored 13 times between them. We think that this time there will be at least six accurate hits.
We take the total over 5.5 goals for 2.05
