Command Analysis

HC Dynamo Moscow

Current form
Dynamo have returned to the second place in the conference and now they will try their best to hold on. The hosts scored 77 points after 59 games, while the rivals Spartak and CSKA scored only one point less. The Blue and White team is playing very hard in the new year, but they had a disastrous stretch in mid-February. Alexey Kudashov's team lost on their own ice to Sochi (3:5) and teammates from Minsk (0:5) and got a few days off. Before returning home, the capital's team scored two points in Yaroslavl (3:1), and then in a hard-fought battle they were stronger than SKA again (1:0). Dynamo scored the only goal in the match only at the end of the third period, but it was enough to win.
The hosts have slowed down in terms of chances and scored only nine goals in the last five matches. Nikita Gusev remains the team's top scorer and ranks second on the list of the league's most productive players. The forward scored 56 points (23+33) in the goal+pass system, but has not helped his teammates for four consecutive games.
Maxim Motorygin appeared on the ice in the last four matches. The young goalkeeper made a shutout in a duel against SKA and it became the fourth for the goalkeeper this season. Vladislav Podyapolsky will probably start in the playoffs. A more experienced gate guard recently switched from Lada and reflected 93.16 as part of the Muscovites, playing 14 times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brannan Menell will not play against the Chinese.
Interesting betting trends
- Dynamo has 20.6% of the majority sales

HC Red Star Kunlun

Current form
Kunlun has lost its chances of making the playoffs and is likely to finish the regular season in ninth place in the West. The Chinese team earned 57 points in 60 starts and at the moment had a hope for the eighth place in the conference. The guests failed the first part of the season, but gradually got out of the last position in the table and looked good this winter. The team led by Mikhail Kravets started the current guest tour with a defeat in Yaroslavl (1:4), but then won in St. Petersburg (6:4) and Sochi (5:2). Upon arrival in Moscow, the dragons were defeated by the local CSKA (0:6), although before the start of the third period, the Army team led by only one goal.
The stars made good use of their chances in the second half of February and scored 16 goals in the last five matches. The team's top scorer is in the infirmary, so other hockey players have taken the lead. Spencer Fu is on the 75th line in the list of the league's most productive players with 32 points (15+17). Tyler Graovac scored one point less (15+16).
Jeremy Smith was Kunlun's number one throughout the season. The Chinese blocked 90.94% of shots on his possessions and made four shutouts in 38 starts. Patrick Rybar, who recently transferred from Spartak, did not win the sympathy of the coaching staff, although he had 92.74% of his saves. Kyle Kayser has not been in the squad for a long time and last went on the ice back in December.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomas Jurcio and Fu Jang are injured and will not play against the blue and white.

- According to statistics, Kunlun allows you to hit your goal with at least 33 shots.
Red Stars usually don't play their best defense and don't have time to cover shots.
- Kunlun gets eight 8.72 minutes of penalty time
A team is usually eliminated more than four times per match.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In seven games with Dynamo, the first period was not productive.
1.85Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
The Pekingese have conceded in the second period in the last three matches.
1.32Tip and bets
Dynamo really needs a victory, because Alexey Kudashov's team wants to gain a foothold on the second line in the conference and play as much as possible at home in the playoffs. The Muscovites played great away matches and performed well in their own half of the court. Kunlun has essentially lost motivation for the rest of the season and can now just play out the remaining matches. This season, the Pekingese were able to beat the capital's team in early autumn, but in the two previous meetings it was the blue and white who celebrated success. We don't think the guests have a chance to score points. We offer a bet on the victory of the hosts with a minus handicap.
Prediction - Dynamo wins with Asian handicap (-1) for 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo was very reliable in their half of the court and conceded only one goal in the previous two matches. Kunlun, on the other hand, scores only 2.43 goals per match on the road and is unlikely to be able to safely enter the opponent's zone. At the beginning of last month, the dragons scored only one accurate hit. We don't expect more from the stars now either.
We bet on Kunlun's individual total of less than two goals with a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on the total total
Only one of the three matches this season between the rivals turned out to be productive. Dynamo is already adjusting to a defensive style of play and hasn't been scoring much on its own lately, but it's also doing great defensively. Kunlun has improved its defense in the second half of the season, but it will be very difficult for the visitors to break through the goalkeepers of the Muscovites. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.87
