Neftekhimik vs. Dinamo Minsk: KHL match betting tip
As part of the regular KHL championship, a match between Neftekhimik and Minsk Dynamo awaits us on January 30. Nizhnekamsk has been failing most of its matches lately and has rarely pleased fans, but the Zubry have also failed to get into the rhythm of the game after a long break. The clubs have already met this season, and then Minsk proved their superiority with a score of 4:1. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will find out from our betting tip
Command Analysis
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Neftekhimik is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and has 43 points. The team is currently seven points behind the playoff zone, so if it does not pull itself together in the near future, then it will probably not participate in the Gagarin Cup this year. However, we note that for a month and a half it has been showing rather disastrous results and has managed with isolated victories, occasionally breaking a losing streak.
Not long ago, Nizhnekamsk faced a series of six failures. After defeats on home ice from Metallurg (2:3 OT) and Vityaz (3:4), they still found the strength to beat Lada (4:2), but in the next match with Severstal they again lost with a score of 1:2. At the same time, in most cases, Oleg Leontyev team experiences serious problems with creating and realizing moments and is left with one or two goals scored, and in response, they regularly miss more.
But the season is going great for Andrei Belozerov, who earns points in almost every match and has already scored 33 points on the goal+pass system, so he remains the leading scorer in the team. Let us emphasize that the second period is the most unsuccessful for the Wolves, in which they have a ratio of 40:52 in goals scored and goals conceded. Also, on home ice, Neftekhimik managed to win only eight victories within regular time up to this point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Abrasimov and Dergachev will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Neftekhimik receives an average of 7.02 penalty minutes per match
Nizhnekamsk players are usually sent off at least three or four times per match and are not known for their ideal discipline
- According to statistics, Neftekhimik allows 33 shots on its goal
Wolves prefer to act as number two, so they are forced to spend a lot of time in their zone
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo has shown pretty good results this season and is consistently in the playoff zone. The team is currently in seventh place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 56 points. Last month, it had a successful period, during which it often pleased fans with victories and dealt with opponent after opponent. At the same time, in most cases, it demonstrated a decent game in defense and managed with a minimum number of goals conceded.
However, after that, Dynamo faced a bad streak that has haunted them to this day. Let us recall that they managed to win on their home ice against CSKA (2:0) and Sibir (3:2 OT), but their away series of matches did not start in the best way for them. So, first, the Zubry lost to Avtomobilist (3:4 SO) in the fight, and then they could not cope with Lada (4:6). Also, just a couple of days ago, they played mediocrely against Metallurg on the road and lost with a score of 1:4, although they had a minimal advantage in that match.
An interesting fact is that this match was the first for Dmitry Kvartalnov team after two weeks of rest, so it is not surprising that the team could not fully enter the game after such a long break. In general, Dynamo players show quite good results on the road this season and have already managed to win 12 victories in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo receives 6.62 penalty minutes per match according to statistics
The Bisons are usually sent off no more than three times per game and are distinguished by good discipline.
- On average, Minsk players take 35 shots on target per match
The team is characterized by high shooting activity and spends a lot of time in the opponent zone
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
2.10Bet 2nd period: away team win
In three out of five meetings against Nizhnekamsk, the visitors achieved success in the second period
2.35Tip and bets
We think that after a series of unsuccessful matches, the Zubrs should pull themselves together and show everything they are capable of in the match with Neftekhimik. The Minsk team is superior to their opponent in class and it is no coincidence that they are in the playoff zone, unlike the Nizhnekamsk team, which previously demonstrated poor results and managed only rare victories. Plus, many previous meetings between the clubs were in favor of Dmitry Kvartalnov team. On the road, in general, they also deal with similar opponents quite confidently, so we suggest betting on their success.
Prediction - Dynamo win for 2.00
Bet on individual total
Dynamo has been highly effective in many matches and has breached the opponents' defense at least three times. Neftekhimik has been showing a rather mediocre defensive performance throughout the season and has made many mistakes in its own zone. By the way, in the last four out of five matches against the Wolves, the Zubry have scored three times. It is quite possible that this time the visitors will be able to cope with the defense of their opponent.
We bet on Dynamo individual total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Total Bet
Previous meetings with Dynamo were spectacular and often had more than five goals scored. The Zubry try to be as active as possible in the opponent zone and make many shots, which is why they are distinguished by good results. The Wolves, in general, are used to playing exclusively on counterattacks, so in the upcoming confrontation we expect to see at least five goals.
We take the total over 4.5 pucks for 1.67
