Vityaz returned to the home arena on February 17 after an away series, where they will try to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans for the lost points. This time, the team will face a very serious opponent in the face of Dinamo Minsk and will try to take advantage of his poor form. Our experts, in turn, will help determine the most optimal rates in the forecast further
Command Analysis
Vityaz
Russian FederationCurrent form
Vityaz was in terrible shape for a long time, and the series of defeats reached six matches in a row, and almost all of them ended in regular time without any chance of victory. The club was able to get at least one point in a duel with Torpedo, in which, due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Dorozhko, he was able to bring the game to a shootout, in which he still failed (1:2). Returning to their home arena, Podolsk fought a much more serious opponent in the person of St. Petersburg SKA and, quite expectedly, could not impose a decent fight on him, losing with a score of 2:4. Once again, Dorozhko tried his best, but there were too many shots. Next, the team went to play on the road, where in the very first match they met with another clear favorite in the person of CSKA and again could not fight back, being defeated by a two-goal difference (1:3).
Continuing to play on the road, the Bogatyrs fought against Dinamo Minsk and, to the great surprise of many hockey fans, they beat their opponent 3-0. It may seem that Vityaz played as reliably as possible in defense, which did not allow Minsk to realize their attacking potential, but this is not the case. Goalkeeper Kareev made a great contribution to the success, thanks to whom we managed to achieve this victory. It seemed that Victoria would give additional confidence in her abilities and the club would be able to consolidate its success, but this did not happen. It was also impossible to play reliably in the duel with Kunlun, and the competitor realized his full attacking potential. As a result, it came to a shootout, where I had to concede again (4:5). It is already safe to say that Podolsk residents remain without the playoffs this year. There is not much time until the end of the season, and the club is already 16 points behind the eighth position.

Ivan Chekhovich, Vladimir Galuzin, Alexander Darin and Grigory Vashchenko will not play in the upcoming match..

Dinamo Minsk
BelarusCurrent form
It seemed that Dynamo had finally come to its senses after the recession, as it broke its three-match losing streak and continued to steadily earn points. The team did not leave any chances for Neftekhimik (5:1), and also confidently coped with the obvious outsider in Sochi (5:3). It is also worth noting the duel with Avangard, in which the Bison were one step away from success, but suffered a very disappointing setback in a shootout with a score of 4:5. Goalkeeper Demchenko did not play reliably enough, reflecting only 86% of shots. After the victory over the Leopards, Kvartalnov's team went to Yaroslavl to meet with the current leader of the Western Conference, Lokomotiv. As expected, I didn't have enough strength to cope with such a powerful competitor. Despite the huge number of dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, they failed to score a single goal, suffering a "dry" defeat (0:2).
Returning to their home arena, Kvartalnov's team was able to rehabilitate themselves and take convincing revenge. In the main time of the match, which was held with a large advantage of the hosts, they won with a score of 3:1. Goalkeeper Demchenko showed himself especially vividly, reflecting 96% of the opponent's shots. This success was supposed to be an important step for the team on the way to restoring their positions in the standings and strengthening morale, but in the next match they had to suffer an unexpected defeat from Vityaz and again "dry" (0:3). What is especially noteworthy is that Minsk residents made 39 shots at the gates of Podolsk in three periods, but none of them reached the goal. However, all these lost points had no effect on the club's position in the Western Conference table, and it continues to remain on the seventh line, with 63 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo has practically no problems with the squad. Only Pyshkailo is in the infirmary.

2.07Tip and bets
Even despite his victory in the last face-to-face match, Vityaz does not stand out as a favorite, and bookmakers do not believe in his next victory, for which there are many reasons. Firstly, Podolsk residents continue to be in terrible shape and are inferior to their competitor in all respects. Secondly, the last face-to-face match should have gone into the Dynamo piggy bank, since throughout the meeting Minsk residents created a huge number of dangerous moments in the bogatyr zone, but they were simply unlucky with their implementation. We believe that this will not happen again, and the Bison will easily take revenge.
Our forecast is a victory for Dynamo in 2.02
Bet on the total
It seems that we should not expect a large number of abandoned goals in the upcoming match. Both teams have been having problems lately with both creating and implementing attacking chances. Podolsk residents cannot boast of high performance during the entire regular season. So we choose the total less as the second bet.
Forecast - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.72
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Dynamo can already create serious pressure on their opponent in the first period. Due to their significant superiority, Minsk residents are quite capable of earning an advantage at the end of the starting segment, which we propose to place another bet on.
Forecast - Dynamo's victory in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.50
