Command Analysis
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo didn't exactly perform as consistently as its fans would have liked this season, but they coped with the task well and got into the playoffs from the second position in the Western Conference, which can be called an excellent result, given how Lokomotiv played. However, in the opening round, the Muscovites faced a very difficult challenge, as they reached the SKA.
Nevertheless, the blue and white dealt with the St. Petersburg team confidently enough and closed the series with a score of 4:2. Recall that in the final match of the series, Alexey Kudashov's team even lost 1:2, but perfectly played the decisive twenty minutes, in which he literally turned everything upside down and, having scored four unanswered goals, got out. in the second round of the Gagarin Cup.
It should be noted that in many cases Dynamo was very effective and opened the defense of the army at least three or four times. The top scorer in the playoffs is currently Cedric Puckett, who managed to score seven points using the goal+pass system. It is also worth noting the fact that the team famously used the numerical advantage and currently has 26.1% of excess sales.

Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars has experienced a lot of difficulties during this season. The team received a huge amount of criticism and, according to some, should not even have been in the second round. Recall that Kazan finished the regular season in the fifth position of the Eastern Conference, but even in the end they were unable to win more than one or two victories in a row.
That is why it was simply impossible to single out a clear favorite in the initial confrontation with the Motorist, since the greens played against exactly the same opponent in class and level. At the same time, if the home matches against Yekaterinburg were more or less successful, then Anvar Gatiyatulin's team always had difficulty winning on the road. Even in the sixth match of the series, the club literally defeated its opponent in Kazan with a score of 5:1, but in the seventh match in Yekaterinburg it was able to achieve success only in the second overtime (2:1 OT).
The playoffs started extremely well for Kirill Semenov, who managed to earn eight points in the goal+pass system during that series. The most successful, as a rule, in the performance of the Kazan team was the first period, in which they had a 10:5 ratio in scoring and missed goals and always tried to take a minimal advantage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Babenko and Evseev will not be able to play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks

1.65Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In the last three matches against Kazan, the Muscovites scored goals in the second leg.
1.50Tip and bets
It is very important for Dynamo that this series starts at home, as Muscovites feel much more confident on their ice this season than on the road. In our opinion, the blue and white team can be considered favorites in the confrontation with the Kazan team. It was very difficult for Ak Bars to play on foreign grounds throughout the year. In addition, stylistically, Dynamo are an inconvenient opponent for Gatiyatulin's team, so we suggest betting on the success of the hosts in the first match.
Betting Tip - Dynamo's victory in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo plays attacking hockey and makes great use of their chances even in the playoffs, as the series with SKA showed. Ak Bars is clearly not as disciplined in defense on the road as they are on their ice, and makes many more mistakes in their own zone. By the way, in the last two meetings with Kazan, Kudashov's wards scored at least four goals, so it makes sense to take their total.
We take Dynamo's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.78
Bet on the total total
The matches between the clubs this season turned out to be spectacular and took place with a huge number of goals scored. Dynamo will dictate their terms in Moscow and force Kazan to play by their own rules, so there is a high probability that the matches will be spectacular. In addition, the Barca themselves, as a rule, are distinguished by two goals per match, even when their game is not going well.
We bet on a total of more than 4.5 goals for 1.72
