Dinamo Minsk — Sochi: forecast for the KHL match
Dinamo Minsk will have a showdown with Sochi on their home court on February 4. The Bison have not been stable in previous meetings, but throughout the season they have demonstrated a fairly powerful game in the home stands and usually deal with outsiders without problems. The Leopards have suffered four defeats in five matches, so they are also in poor condition for this confrontation. Is it worth betting on the success of the site owners? You will learn about this from the forecast
Command Analysis
Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
Dynamo has big goals for itself this season, so it's not surprising that the team quite often produces successful periods and winning streaks. Thanks to this, she still holds on to the playoff zone and is currently in seventh position in the Western Conference with 59 points. Last month was quite successful for her, because she often delighted the fans with victories and beat opponent after opponent. At the same time, in most cases, she demonstrated a decent defensive game and managed with a minimum number of missed goals.
However, the Bison haven't been playing well lately, and they've been experiencing a lot of problems. So, in four previous matches out of four, they failed. Even before the long break, they lost to Lada on the road (4:6), and after a two-week vacation they lost to Metallurg (1:4), but in the confrontation with Neftekhimik they succeeded with a score of 5:1. However, after returning to the home arena, the Minsk team failed to please the fans, as they lost to Avangard in shootouts (4:5), although they once again played a bright game.
It should be noted that Dynamo is not playing as well on its own ice this season than on other people's courts, and up to this point it has won only ten victories during regular time. But Dmitry Kvartalnov's team often pleases fans with abandoned goals and, on average, opens up the opponent's defense at least three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or suspended players in the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Dynamo statistically gets 6.82 minutes of penalty time per match.
The Bison are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and are well disciplined.
- On average, Minsk residents make 35 shots on target per match.
The team is characterized by high shooting activity and even in the last match threatened the opponent's goal 48 times.
HC Sochi
Russian FederationCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, Sochi began to show poor results and was often on a losing streak, so it was clear that the team could not qualify for the playoffs in any way. And so it turned out. Today, it is located in the last position of the Western Conference and we can already say that it is likely to remain on this line until the end of the regular season.
It should be noted that Sochi residents manage with rare victories and very rarely delight fans with high-quality hockey. In the previous five out of six meetings, they also lost. So, on their ice, they lost to Severstal (3:4B) and lost to Torpedo (1:3), but in a guest match against Kunlun, they unexpectedly celebrated success with a score of 4:2. The Leopards also had a strong final match against Traktor, in which they brought the matter to overtime and lost to the leader of the East in an equal fight (2:3 OT). However, things are usually much worse in Sochi's defense, and on average there are at least three goals in the net.
It is also worth mentioning that Sergey Zubov's squad continues to experience a lot of problems with actions in the minority and now has only 78.2% neutralization of the majority of the opponent. In addition, up to this point, the Leopards had achieved victory within 60 minutes on the road only six times, so they very rarely find themselves in a state in which they can cause serious trouble to a more powerful and skilled opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sochi currently has no problems with the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Sochi gets an average of 8.59 minutes of penalty time per match.
Sochi residents usually break the rules at least four or five times per game and are not well disciplined.
- Sochi has a 45:47 ratio of goals scored and missed in the second period.
Sochi residents spend the second twenty minutes best compared to the rest of the segments.

1.88Tip and bets
Dynamo looks preferable to its counterpart in many aspects. Minsk residents stay in the playoff zone and show fairly stable results throughout the season. Of course, things were not going well for them after a long break, but the level of the rivals was quite high. Sochi shows a weak game on the road and often concedes within the regular time with a difference of several goals. Due to the support of the home stands, the Bison should succeed without any problems and get Victoria.
Prediction - Dynamo wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
In this confrontation, we expect to see at least four abandoned goals from the home team. The Bison usually delight fans with a large number of goals when they play in Minsk, and they are great at opening up the opponents' defenses, especially when they play against obvious outsiders, of which Sochi is one. We think that Dmitry Kvartalnov's squad will make every effort and take advantage of their moments both in equal formations and in the majority.
We bet on Dynamo's individual total of more than 3.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the total total
The teams play on opposite courses, so matches with their participation quite often turn out to be productive and take place with more than five goals scored. Sochi plays exclusively on the counterattack and thus tries to compensate for its weak defensive play. Minsk residents, in turn, also make a lot of defensive mistakes, so there is a high probability that the upcoming meeting will take place with at least six goals scored.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 2.05
