SKA - Dynamo Moscow: KHL playoff match betting tip
On March 31, the series between SKA and Dynamo will continue in St. Petersburg. The blue and white team won both matches on their own ice, although they did not do it without difficulty. Roman Rotenberg's team is in a stalemate and, in fact, no longer has the right to make mistakes. Alexey Kudashov's team, on the other hand, completely keep the series under their control and are not ready to give up a single match to their opponent. Will they be able to beat the Army team in St. Petersburg? This is stated in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Army team had defensive problems throughout the season and became one of only two teams in the West to concede more than 200 goals. Roman Rotenberg's team was not pleased with the stable results in the regular season and finished it only in seventh position in the conference. SKA tried in every possible way to avoid a meeting with Dynamo in the first round, but could not. Evgeny Kuznetsov returned to action before the start of the playoffs, which gave the hosts hope for a positive outcome of the first round of the final part of the tournament.
Alexander Nikishin's squad plays extremely undisciplined in the series against Dynamo and is eliminated a lot. In the first match in Moscow, the red-blues were penalized twice for being sent off, which became the determining factor. The club from St. Petersburg could have taken at least one victory away from the Russian capital, but could not hold the advantage in the second game and missed the decisive goal in the middle of the first overtime.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alexander Nikishin will not help his partners in the third game of the series.
Interesting betting trends
- SKA gets 10.5 minutes of penalty time per game
- The hosts block 20.5 shots per match in the playoffs
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo had a pretty bad start to the season, but they gradually improved and made fewer mistakes on their side of the ice. The Muscovites signed Vladislav Podyapolsky and refused the services of Hunter Miski, which allowed them to miss their gates much less often. The capital's hockey players won the competition for second place in the West and deservedly became the second club in the conference after Lokomotiv. Before the start of the playoffs, the team's infirmary lowered what would be a big advantage for the blue and white in the fight for the main trophy.
Alexey Kudashov's team started very briskly at home in the series against SKA and never once allowed the opponent to take the lead in the first game of the confrontation. Nikita Gusev scored two points in the opening match of the playoffs, and Dynamo made great use of the Army team's disposals. A day later, the victory was not so easy, but Maxim Motorygin showed a great game at the last turn. The young goalkeeper remains the number one in the team so far.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will play in St. Petersburg.
Interesting betting trends
- Dynamo earns nine penalty minutes in the playoffs
- Dynamo makes 36 shots per game on average
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In five of the eight games involving Dynamo, the first period was not productive.
1.88Bet 2nd period: Dynamo will score
The Muscovites scored in the second period in four out of seven matches.
1.55Tip and bets
It's hard to believe that the army will be able to turn the course of this confrontation in their favor. The team from St. Petersburg cannot get through the opponent's tight defense and very often violates the rules of the game, giving Dynamo chances. At the same time, Alexei Kudashov's players are acting quite competently themselves, and goalkeeper Maxim Motorygin has gained excellent form. We do not think that Alexander Nikishin's squad will be able to close the gap even with the support of their native stands. We offer a bet on winning the second one with a zero handicap.
Betting Tip - Dynamo wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo has tied SKA hand and foot, does not allow the opponent to do anything in his zone. Maxim Motorygin is also in excellent shape, having made a large number of important saves in two matches of the series and conceded only two goals in more than 120 minutes of clean time. We believe that the hosts will not be able to distinguish themselves more than two or three times even at home.
We're betting on SKA's individual total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.67
Bet on the total total
The series between the teams is not productive. Both teams try to act with maximum caution and avoid making a lot of mistakes in their area, despite the abundance of deletions. The meeting at number three will be decisive in this confrontation and is unlikely to be bright. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.90
