Command Analysis

MHC Spartak

Current form
The Red-Whites won the Western Conference Gold Division in the last match of the regular season. Alexander Barkov's team avoided obvious downturns and lost only seven times in regular time during the season, which is less than any other club in the MHL. During the regular season, the team lost three times in a row, but it's hard to call it a serious failure, since Spartak had a long winning streak. This allowed us to lead almost the entire championship. The Muscovites led the division for almost the entire distance of the regular season, but in the end, SKA 1946 rolled to the finish line, and this intrigued the fight for first place. Fate was decided in the last match. The team confidently beat Dynamo Moscow (5:1) and won the division. The squad became the third most productive in the conference with 204 goals scored, and the second most reliable in defense with 106 goals conceded.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has outplayed its opponent in the last four face-to-face games.
- On average, the club conceded two goals per game in the season.

Dinamo Shinnik

Current form
Following the results of the 2024/25 regular season, Andrei Mikhalev's team took second place in the Silver Division of the Western Conference, passing the Red Army ahead. The Belarusians' opponents in the qualifying round of the play-in were Cherepovets Diamond, which finished seventh in the Gold Division. In the first two matches, the rivals exchanged victorias, and in the decisive third match, the Belarusians won 3-1 in the end and won the series with a score of 2:1. This luck gave them the right to compete in the Kharlamov Cup playoffs for the first time in history. The young Dynamo players have guaranteed themselves entry into the Golden Division of the Western Conference in the next regular season, and the Beavers have not yet played in the elite group. It is worth noting that Dynamo-Shinnik is the most visited team in the Western Conference and the second most visited in the MHL in the 2024/25 season after the Siberian Snipers, so the support in home matches against the winner of the conference will be overwhelming.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only four victories in the last 10 matches.
- In the season, the team scored an average of four goals per game.
