Command Analysis

HC Dynamo Moscow

Current form
Dynamo is counting on at least reaching the Gagarin Cup finals this season, but plans to fight for more. The team is currently in the second position of the Western Conference and should be selected for the playoffs from it if it does without a series of defeats in the end. It should be noted that the Muscovites played their last matches at a high level and usually achieved success within the regular time.
Of course, after the home victory over Lokomotiv (4:3), the blue and white team unexpectedly stumbled in the confrontation with Neftekhimik on the road (3:4), but after that they defeated Severstal (3:1), and also dealt with CSKA with a score of 2:1 in a stubborn struggle. It is clear that Alexey's squad Kudashova has already adjusted to the playoffs and began to pay much more attention to defense, which left her with less than two goals in most matches.
It is impossible not to mention the actions of the goalkeeper, Maxim Motorygin, who even parried 32 shots in the last match. By the way, Dynamo have the best time in the first period and feel extremely comfortable in it, because they have a 62:35 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, Dynamo is not experiencing any problems with the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Dynamo statistically makes 31 shots on target
- The blue and white team receive an average of 7.14 minutes of penalty time per match.

Avangard Omsk

Current form
Avangard has significantly increased and continues to gain momentum. The team is currently in the sixth position of the Eastern Conference, but it is literally three points behind even the fourth line, so if it continues in the same spirit and ends the season on a winning streak, it will be at least in the top four. It should be noted that since the beginning of last month, Omsk residents have been on a long series of defeats.
However, any series is coming to an end, and the Hawks series is no exception to the rule. They won 12 consecutive victories. After successful matches against Torpedo (3:2), Ak Bars (2:0), and a difficult victory over Nizhny Novgorod (4:3), Omsk still lost to Tractor on their ice with a score of 4:5, although even in that match they had a minimal advantage. Now they have relieved themselves of the burden of responsibility, so they can continue to win and from now on finish the regular season without a single defeat.
Moreover, Guy Boucher's team has now improved their attacking game and has started to score at least three goals per match on average. In addition, the club enjoys a great numerical advantage and now has 26.4% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boikov and Stepanov will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Avangard wins 50.3% of face-offs
- Omsk residents receive 6.77 minutes of penalty time.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last five matches between the teams, the first period was inconclusive.
1.72The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the guests
In three out of five matches, Omsk kept the third leg behind them.
2.95Tip and bets
The vanguard is definitely not considered an outsider in this confrontation. Omsk stumbled in the last match with Traktor, but before that they showed excellent results and beat opponent after opponent. As a rule, with the arrival of Guy Boucher as head coach, the hawks go undefeated in regular time and demonstrate a powerful game even on the road. The blue and white team often has problems when meeting such opponents, so we think that in this case the guests will earn at least one point.
The betting tip is that Avangard will not lose in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Avangard has played solid defense in many past matches and has been left with fewer than three goals conceded. Dynamo, of course, has a powerful offensive line, but Alexey Kudashov's team has already adapted to the playoff style and began to score much less than before. Considering that in the previous four out of six meetings Omsk missed less than three times, we suggest betting on the individual total of the hosts.
We take Dynamo's individual total of less than 2.5 pucks for 2.00
Bet on the total total
Both teams know each other well and are unlikely to risk playing on opposite courses. Dynamo now adheres to a more closed style of play, and Avangard will definitely not take unnecessary risks in a match with a serious opponent and will pay more attention to defense. Plus, the last three out of five matches between the clubs ended with less than six goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.72
