Command Analysis

CSKA Moscow

Current form
CSKA is currently in fifth place in the Western Conference and has 70 points to its credit. The team cannot seriously improve its position in the standings and continues to show rather weak results. Many people believe that she will have very few chances to prove herself in the playoffs if she continues to play in the same spirit. By the way, in the previous three out of four matches, the club was also defeated.
The Army team lost at home to Severstal (3:4), and after a major victory over Vityaz (4:1), they had two unsuccessful matches against Sochi. First, they lost to a clear outsider on the road with a score of 0:2, and then they lost to the Leopards on the home arena with a score of 1:4, while managing to score only one goal in both matches. In the last game, the Muscovites played well only in the opening game, during which they gained a minimal advantage, but in the next 40 minutes they conceded four unanswered goals.
But such disastrous periods haunt Ilya Vorobyov's squad throughout the season, so you shouldn't be surprised by such declines. As a rule, after that, CSKA pulled itself together and gave out a long winning streak, and now, too, for sure, after a serious conversation in the locker room, it will give its best. Moreover, throughout the year the club has been distinguished by excellent results on the home court and has already managed to win 16 victories within the regular time.

Muscovites are usually eliminated at least three times per game.

Dinamo Minsk

Current form
Dynamo has gained a foothold in the playoff zone and currently occupies the seventh position in the Western Conference. The team can still improve its position in the standings, so it will definitely not rest on its laurels and will try to reach greater heights in order to feel more comfortable in the opening round of the playoffs and get a more comfortable opponent. However, the club has not been particularly stable lately and has alternated successful matches with defeats.
Before that, Dynamo had lost to Lokomotiv on the road (0:2), but they dealt with Yaroslavl at home (3:1). This was followed by an unexpected defeat from Vityaz (0:3), however, the Minsk residents rehabilitated themselves and took revenge on their offender, winning Victoria with a score of 4.:2. It is noteworthy that in some meetings they had serious difficulties with creating and implementing chances, and they remained without scoring goals at all. Nevertheless, they have such problems very rarely this season, and on average, even at foreign venues, Dmitry Kvartalnov's team scores at least three goals.
Dynamo are playing the second game most powerfully, in which they have a 68:45 ratio in goals scored and conceded, so we can say that they feel great on the far benches. We also note Dynamo's game in the minority, since today the team has 84.4% neutralization of the majority of the opponent and occupies the fourth position in the league according to this indicator.

1.65Tip and bets
We think that Minsk residents have every chance of success in the upcoming match. The Bison are playing well on the road this season and often achieve victory within the regular time. CSKA is currently in poor shape and lost twice to the obvious outsider of the Western Conference the day before. Plus, past matches between clubs have often ended in favor of the guests. It is likely that Dmitry Kvartalnov's squad will also earn two points in the upcoming confrontation.
Forecast - Dynamo wins with a handicap (0) in 2.35
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo has been very productive this season, even when they play away. As a rule, Minsk residents are distinguished by no less than three abandoned goals. CSKA showed mediocre defensive play in previous meetings and often conceded three times. Considering that in the last five out of seven matches, the Bison scored at least three goals, we suggest betting on their individual total.
We take Dynamo's individual total of more than two goals for 1.70
Bet on the total total
Many meetings with Kvartalnov's team are spectacular and take place with five or more goals scored. By the way, many past matches between the teams have also been productive. After two failed matches, CSKA will seek its fortune in the attacking zone, which is why it will make mistakes in defense. Dynamo, in turn, is also not ideal in defense, so it makes sense to expect at least five goals in this game.
We bet on a total of more than 4.5 pucks for 1.60
