Command Analysis
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada continues to fight for a place in the top eight in the East and is currently in ninth place in the conference. Togliatti has scored 40 points in 42 games and does not intend to give up in the battle to get into the final part of the tournament. Today, they have a game in hand and are only two points behind Siberia, which is in eighth place. Pavel Zubov charges began the new calendar year with matches in Kazan (1:3), Astana (5:0) and Chelyabinsk (0:5) and then went to Togliatti. In the current home series, the owls narrowly beat Barys (1:0), and then did not finish off Kunlun (3:2, B), losing in a shootout. Both teams could not finish the match with a victory for a long time, but the visitors still managed to take a bonus point.
The club from the Samara Region plays inconsistently in attack and in five out of seven matches did not score more than twice in 60 minutes. Dmitry Kugryshev remains the top scorer, but he is not even in the top 100 most productive players in the league. The Lada forward has scored 20 goals (6+14) and so far looks better than the other forwards.
Konstantin Volkov changed his club registration and has already managed to play against his former team. The goalkeeper only recently transferred from Kunlun and blocked 28 shots during the game against the Beijing team. Aleksandr Trushkov got some time to rest, although after the departure of Vladislav Pod'yapolsky, he became the main goalkeeper for the Filins.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vladislav Chervonenko and Nikita Popugaev will not be able to help their team in the game against Dynamo.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada takes 26 shots on goal per game
The hosts don't shoot much, trying to concede as few goals as possible, so their attacking performance is quite modest.
- Togliatti earns 7.26 penalty minutes per match on average
The Owls are often sent off, but they neutralize 82.7% of their opponents’ attempts to convert the extra man.
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo is in fifth place in the conference and Dmitry Kvartalnov team has come close to the leaders of the West, although they were recently fighting for a place in the playoff zone. At the moment, the club from the capital of Belarus has 56 points after 45 matches. Only three points separate the visitors from the third line, but they played more than the others. The Minsk team played well in the last home series of games and won against CSKA (2:0) and Sibir (3:2, OT), although they started with a defeat to Torpedo (2:4). Andrei Stas team started the current away tour with a defeat in Yekaterinburg (3:4, B). The Zubry came back three times during the meeting against Avto, but ultimately did not score a single penalty shot at the end of overtime.
Dynamo have been playing well in attack in January and have scored 16 accurate shots in their last six games, but only three times have they been able to score more than two goals in a game. Vadim Shipachev has gained excellent form and continues to prove his high level of skill, leading the club list of scorers. The Russian has scored 35 goals for his team this season (6+29).
The visitors were good in defense at the beginning of the year. In their last five starts, they conceded nine goals, and in the last three games, the red light behind the Minsk goal was lit only five times. Yegor Velmakin appeared on the ice twice in the new year after a long break. The Russian was unable to help his teammates win in the Urals, although he blocked 93.41% of shots during the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the visiting leaders will play in Tolyatti.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo has a 56:37 ratio of goals scored and conceded in the second period
The Minsk team plays powerfully in the second twenty minutes and often scores goals in it.
- Dynamo averages 34 shots on target
The team is one of the best shooting teams in the league at the moment.
Trends
Bet 1st period: Dynamo will not lose
Minsk residents have not lost in the first period in five out of seven games
1.22Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
The Zubrs have scored in the second period in their last six games.
1.50Tip and bets
Dynamo stumbled in the first game of the away series, but this does not mean that the Minsk team will continue to lose. The Zubry are still in excellent shape and have lost only two matches in the new year. The visitors are reliable in defense, and the signing of Vasily Demchenko has only strengthened the already good goalkeeper line of the Belarusians. Lada was left without a main goalkeeper, but now they have acquired Konstantin Volkov. The hosts played well in the attack at the moment, but now they are again not realizing too many moments. We think that Dmitry Kvartalnov charges will dominate the opponent and will easily score the necessary two points. We offer a bet on the victory of the second in regular time.
Prediction - Dynamo win for 1.90
Bet on individual total
Lada scores only 1.84 goals per game on its home court and has not been able to boast of offensive efficiency throughout the regular season. The club top scorer is not even among the top 100 KHL leaders. Dynamo is doing well in defense and the Minsk team rarely fails on its half of the ice. Dmitry Kvartalnov charges are unlikely to allow their opponents to score more than twice.
We bet on Lada individual total of less than two goals with a coefficient of 1.75
Total Bet
The teams have played four matches since 2017 and none of the games were productive. Last season, the opponents scored only six goals in two matches. Lada plays defensively and does not have good attacking potential. Dmitry Kvartalnov has set up a closed hockey with a constant eye on his goal in Dynamo. We believe that the match will be low-scoring.
We take the total under five goals for 1.68
