Spartak — Dinamo Minsk: forecast for the KHL match
On February 23, we will have a duel between two bright teams in the KHL - Spartak will take on Dynamo Minsk on the home court. The meeting promises to be incredibly interesting and exciting, as the clubs are approaching this confrontation on a three-win streak and do not intend to lose points. The previous match between Muscovites and Minsk residents was also a tense struggle and ended in favor of the former. Is it worth betting on the success of Zhamnov's team this time? You will learn about this from the forecast

Command Analysis

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak is among the leaders of the Western Conference and currently sits on the second line of the standings. The team can hardly claim the lead, as it is 13 points behind Lokomotiv, but it will certainly try to maintain its current position. We emphasize that Muscovites are not particularly stable during the season. They can easily beat a powerful opponent, but in the next match they will lose to an outsider. However, they are now going on a great series of three victorias.
The red and white had previously lost on the road to Torpedo (1:4), after which they dealt with them on their own ice with a score of 7:4, and also proved their superiority over Dynamo Moscow (3:2 OT). In the final confrontation with Sibir, Spartak players also showed their best and eventually celebrated success with a score of 6:2. In the match against Novosibirsk, Alexey Zhamnov's squad had a great time in all three game segments, in each of which they were able to score two goals.
In general, performance problems rarely haunt Spartak players this season. To date, the club remains one of the top scorers in its conference and scores at least three or four goals per match on average. Spartak looks its best in the second period, in which it has a 75:58 ratio in goals scored and conceded, so playing on the far benches is quite easy for him.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team currently has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Spartak gets 6.48 minutes of penalty time per match

- Spartak has 78.8% neutralization of the majority of the opponent
The team does not perform well in the minority and occupies one of the last places in the league according to this indicator.

Dinamo Minsk

Current form
Dynamo is looking much more powerful this season than last year and has set itself the highest goals. The team is steadily staying in the playoff zone and is currently on the seventh line of the Western Conference. She can easily claim to be in the top three, since she is literally four points away from her. Moreover, recently Minsk residents have been distinguished by great results and reserved most of the fights for themselves.
By the way, they are currently on a series of three victorias. After losing to Vityaz (0:3), the Bison went on a field trip, where they pulled themselves together. They first beat the same "heroes" (4:2), and then proved their superiority over a powerful rival in the person of CSKA (4:1) and literally defeated the blue and white with a score of 5:0, leaving them no chance. Dmitry Kvartalnov, by the way, was very pleased with the last match against the Muscovites and did not even find anything to scold his players for.
In general, it is important for Minsk residents to successfully complete the away series of matches, because after that they will have a big home series of games. However, on a visit, oddly enough, Dynamo perform slightly better than at home, and up to this point they have managed to win 16 victories within the regular time. At the same time, the team is often very effective and opens up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times, but at the same time has only 18.7% of excess sales.

1.88The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In the last three meetings, Dynamo achieved success in the second period.
3.05Tip and bets
Dynamo, in our opinion, may well claim two points in the upcoming confrontation. The Bison are doing well in the current away series of matches and are undefeated. Plus, they gained additional confidence in their abilities after a crushing victory over the blue and white. They are also a very uncomfortable opponent for Spartak, so they often reserve face-to-face fights for themselves. Also, do not forget that throughout the season, Kvartalnov's team plays better away than at home, so it makes sense to bet on its success.
Forecast - Dynamo wins with a handicap (0) in 2.30
Betting on an individual total
Previously, Dynamo were distinguished by their excellent performance and opened up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times. Spartak misses a lot in matches with similar teams, so they try to play on opposite courses and seek their fortune in the attacking zone. The Minsk team is currently playing well offensively, so there is a high probability that they will also be able to score at least three goals in the upcoming meeting.
We bet on Dynamo's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six abandoned goals in this confrontation. Spartak likes to play on opposite courses and tries to compensate for its gaps in defense with ideal attacking actions. Dynamo, in turn, has a decent performance on the road, but also often misses about two or three times in response. The last two out of three matches between the clubs were with six or more goals, so it makes sense to put more on the total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.95
