Dynamo Moscow - SKA: KHL playoff match betting tip
On March 27, a series between local Dynamo players and guests from St. Petersburg will begin in the Russian capital.

The guests have been given a very difficult task for the final part of the tournament, but it is quite realistic to complete it. In the regular season, the red and blue were able to beat the blue and white only once. Will it be possible to start by winning at VTB Arena now? Read in our betting tip
Command Analysis
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo didn't do too well in the first half of the regular season, but it improved significantly in the second part and broke into second place in the conference. The Muscovites won the competition against very strong teams and deservedly became the main pursuer of Lokomotiv, beating Yaroslavl three times in six matches. The blue and white team scored 89 points in the regular season and relaxed a little before the start of the playoffs, losing to Loko (1:4) and Severstal (2:3). Nevertheless, the capital's team has every chance of taking the main trophy this season.
The hosts have made serious improvements in terms of reliability on their half of the ice, while Maxim Motorygin, who may well become number one, has gained excellent form. Dynamo has Nikita Gusev in attack, who scored 69 goals (29+40). The Olympic champion took the second place in the list of league scorers following the results of the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the team leaders will play against the St. Petersburg team.
Interesting betting trends
- Dynamo scores three goals for the meeting
- Dynamo gets 7.65 minutes of penalty time
SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
SKA performed erratically throughout the season and was unable to finish the regular season at the top of the top eight in the West. The guests were constantly let down by weak play on their half of the ice and they became one of two teams in the conference that conceded more than 200 goals. The Army team finished in seventh place, earning only 82 points. The red and blue ones looked good at the beginning of spring, but they were still unable to climb higher and bypass at least Severstal. The team's chances of winning the tournament don't look too great.
The team led by Roman Rotenberg has a powerful line of attack, led by Evgeny Kuznetsov. The former NHL player scored 37 points (12+25) in the goal+pass system, but spent a lot of time in the infirmary. Ivan Demidov also made 49 effective actions (19+30). SKA scored 236 goals in 68 games this season, which is the best record in the entire KHL.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alexander Nikishin will not come to Moscow with the team.
Interesting betting trends
- SKA gets 7.31 minutes of penalty time
- The guests allow you to shoot at your own goal 31 times per game
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In five of the six games with Dynamo, the first period was not productive.
1.77Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
The Muscovites scored in the second period in four of the five matches.
1.48Tip and bets
We think that Dynamo will take the game into their own hands from the very first minute and will not let SKA calmly enter their zone. Alexey Kudashov's team rightfully took second place in the West and was really the best after the regular season winners. The hosts have no weaknesses in the squad, and now the blue and white have two very strong goalkeepers at the last line of defense. The army men miss a lot and can only rely on their attack. We believe that the more stable hockey players from the capital will win the first match of the series. We're betting on winning first with a zero head start.
Betting Tip - Dynamo wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.67
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo plays great offensively and consistently scores at least three goals per match. SKA has slightly increased its reliability on its half of the ice, but the guests still have very big problems in defense and they regularly allow their opponents to throw a lot. In our opinion, the blue and white team will be able to register at least three times without any problems.
We bet on Dynamo's individual total of more than 2.5 washers with a coefficient of 1.73
Bet on the total total
Dynamo will go ahead as the owner of the site and achieve its goal. The army men will have to open up one way or another. Meetings between rivals always turn out to be bright and often delight with a large number of accurate shots. Despite the status of the match, we believe in spectacular hockey. We expect at least five accurate shots for two from the clubs.
We take a total of more than 4.5 goals for 1.55
