Dynamo Moscow — SKA: forecast for the KHL match
Dynamo and SKA will once again play each other in Moscow on February 11. In the first three matches, the blue and white celebrated success, but a week and a half ago, Roman Rotenberg's team soaked up the score in this series. Nikita Gusev's squad may reach the second place in the conference in the very near future, so the hosts really need a victory. The red-blues also have their own goals, which cannot reach the top three in the West. How will this match turn out? Read our forecast for it
Command Analysis
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo started the new calendar year very strongly, but now the blue and white occupy only the third place in the conference, but they may rise higher in the near future. Alexey Kudashov's team shares the second position in the West with Spartak and CSKA and cannot afford to lose. The team from the capital of Russia has 68 points after 52 starts. The hosts looked great in the first half of January, but at the end of last month they alternated successes and failures. Nikita Gusev's squad beat Torpedo at home (4:2), and lost to SKA in the first game of February (3:4, OT). Before the break, the capital's team scored a landslide victory in Mytishchi over Kunlun (4:1).
Nikita Gusev got in great shape and scored seven points in the previous four games, but it didn't always help the team win. The Dynamo forward and captain is still among the top three scorers in the league with 51 points (21+30) in the goal+pass system. Besides him, Maxime Comtois and Jordan Weale can be singled out. The legionnaires scored 38 points each.
Vladislav Podyapolsky constantly goes on the ice after transferring from Lada. The goalkeeper played seven matches for his new club in January and helped his teammates win six of them. In ten games, the goalkeeper made one shutout and blocked 93.86% of shots. Maxim Motorygin has sat on the bench so far and is unlikely to be able to oust the newcomer from the start. The last time he came out was in Mytishchi and he was quite good.
Disqualifications and injuries
Artem Ilyenko and Brennan Manell will not play against St. Petersburg.

SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Roman Rotenberg's team is getting in shape and is now trying to climb as high as possible in the Western Conference table. The Army team scored 67 points in 53 games and expect to return to chasing the KHL leaders. SKA won five out of six meetings and had a great last away series, beating Spartak (4:3, B) and Dynamo (4:3, OT) in the Russian capital. The Red-Blues were defeated in St. Petersburg by Ak Bars (3:8), having already conceded six times in the first period. The guests did not give up and won a landslide victory over Vityaz (4:2) in the Moscow region before the break. Alexander Nikishin's squad completely controlled the course of the match and by the middle of the meeting they were leading by three goals.
The hosts remain the most productive team in the league, scoring as many as 196 goals. The Army Club scores 3.70 goals on average, and Ivan Demidov has moved to the top of the team's goalscoring list. The young talent scored 44 points (19+25) in the goal+pass system. Despite such a strong realization of the moments, the "Army" are not doing their best on their half of the ice.
Throughout the regular season, the team from the Northern capital of Russia has problems playing defense. Artemy Pleshkov became the club's number one after the failure of two other goalkeepers in January, but now he is injured. Pavel Moisevich replaced him at the last line of defense in the second half of the match against SKA and looked good in the duel against Vityaz. He has 90.24% of his saves.
Disqualifications and injuries
Arseniy Gritsyuk, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Artemy Pleshkov will not play against Dynamo.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, SKA scores 3.70 goals per match.
Thanks to a very powerful attacking line, SKA remains the most productive club in the league.
- St. Petersburg players receive an average of 7.42 penalty minutes per match.
Roman Rotenberg's players don't always have enough stamina, so they often come to play in the minority.

1.47Tip and bets
Dynamo has an excellent chance to reach the second place in the conference, but for this it is necessary to beat SKA. Nikita Gusev's team alternated wins and failures before the all-star match, so the pause should benefit the Muscovites. The Army team still lacks reliability on their side of the ice. The Red-Blues miss a lot, even though they have one of the most powerful offensive lines in the KHL. At the same time, the guests now have some personnel problems. Apart from Evgeny Kuznetsov, Arseniy Gritsyuk and Artemy Pleshkov will not be able to help their partners in the capital. We think that this time the "blue and white" will still outplay their opponent at the VTB Arena. We offer a bet on the victory of the Muscovites with a zero handicap.
Prediction - Dynamo wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.75
Bet on the total total
All the matches between the rivals this season turned out to be productive. Just a week and a half ago, the teams already met with each other in Moscow and scored six times for two. The guests have personnel problems, but it is unlikely that this will seriously affect the attacking potential of SKA. Dynamo regularly scores a lot in their arena, so we expect at least six accurate shots from the sides for two.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.70
Betting on an individual total
SKA continues to miss a lot and, on average, the red light outside the gates of Roman Rotenberg's wards lights up 3.08 times per match. Dynamo, under the command of Nikita Gusev, should score its three goals, and this season the Muscovites managed to score at least three times against the Army in all four regular season games.
We bet on Dynamo's individual total of more than 2.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.58
