Sochi - Dinamo Minsk: betting tip for the KHL match
On March 23, Sochi will host a meeting between local leopards and guests from the capital of Belarus.

Command Analysis

HC Sochi

Current form
Sochi finishes the regular season in last place in the conference and 21st in the league table. The Southerners performed poorly throughout the season and from the very beginning had no chance of getting into the playoffs. The hosts had some good stretches, but mostly they were constantly losing, and they were always crushing. Since February 19, Sergey Zubov's team has won only one match, and just against Dinamo Minsk (3:2). Before returning to their home ice, the leopards lost to Spartak in the Russian capital (1:3).
Sochi did not show a strong offensive game at the final stage of the regular season and scored very little in recent games. In the last seven matches, they scored only nine accurate hits, scoring three goals against the Minsk team. Artur Tyulin was better than the other forwards and scored 40 points (10+30) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sergey Ivanov will not play against the Bison.
Interesting betting trends
- Sochi gets 8.82 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, Sochi residents can make 34 shots at their own goal.

Dinamo Minsk

Current form
Dynamo were consistently among the top eight clubs in the conference, and in the second half of the season they produced some very strong stretches and could even compete for second place in the West. Minsk residents are in fourth place, but they can still bypass Spartak, but for this the guests must win on the Bolshoi ice. The team led by Dmitry Kvartalnov lost four meetings in a row after a series of victories on their home ice. At the start of the current guest tour, they were stronger than CSKA (4:1).
Playing defensively is Dynamo's strong point during this season. In the current regular season, the bison concede only 2.37 goals, but in the last five games the red light outside the gates of the club from the capital of Belarus was lit 15 times. Vasily Demchenko became the main goalkeeper of the team after transferring from Admiral. The goalkeeper blocked 93.35% of shots and made five shutouts in 27 starts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikita Pyshkailo and Daniil Sotishvili will not come to Sochi.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Dynamo throws 34 times per game on average.
- Dynamo gets eight 7.87 minutes of penalty time

1.30Tip and bets
Sochi has not claimed anything for a long time and is playing for its fans. Sergey Zubov's team is missing a lot and has not been notable for the large number of abandoned goals lately. As for Dynamo, the Bison suffered an unpleasant defeat from the leopards on their ice and will be determined. They really need a victory, because in case of defeat, Minsk residents may lose their home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. We believe in the success of Dmitry Kvartalnov's team. We offer a bet on the victory of the guests.
Our betting tip is a victory for Dynamo in 1.58
Betting on an individual total
Sochi scores only 2.25 goals per game, and plays even more modestly on its ice. Dynamo improved their defensive performance after the transfer from Admiral Vasily Demchenko, who was very good throughout the season and demonstrated reliability at the last line of defense. We do not believe that the hosts will be able to score more than two goals.
The betting tip is Sochi's individual total of less than two goals in 1.85
Bet on the total
Sochi does not have the resources to throw a lot at the opponent's goal. Dynamo is unlikely to take any chances and will go ahead from the first seconds. It is likely that the guests will bide their chances and try to play as reliably as possible on their half of the ice. We do not think that the meeting in the south of Russia will be bright. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.97
