Dynamo Minsk vs. Amur: KHL Match Prediction
Dinamo Minsk
Amur KhabarovskOn September 5, Dinamo Minsk will play its first match of the new season against Amur. Both teams did not show the best results during the pre-season training and will try to rehabilitate themselves before the fans. The clubs have set serious goals for this year, which means they must earn points from the start of the regular championship. Our experts, in turn, suggest that you familiarize yourself with the betting tip for the upcoming match, which indicates the most relevant bets
Match announcement
Dinamo Minsk
Current form
Last season, Dynamo played frankly not the best, the team earned points with great difficulty throughout the regular championship, but in the end, they still managed to get into the playoffs from the eighth line in the table. However, in the Gagarin Cup, the Minsk team also played mediocre, which is why they had to give in already in the first round, losing the series to Moscow Dynamo with a final score of 2:4.
During the off-season, the Bisons tried to strengthen their roster as much as possible and close weak spots. First of all, it is worth noting the transfer of Ak Bars forward Vadim Shipachev, who will definitely decorate and diversify the attacking line. There were also some changes in defense, in this area the club relied on North American players, signing three hockey players from the AHL. However, so far the changes have not been able to justify themselves. In the pre-season, Dynamo showed itself from the worst side, winning only one victory out of five possible.
Interesting trends for betting
- Last season, Dynamo converted only 17.6% of its power plays.
Dynamo is not distinguished by high efficiency, which is also connected with the weak implementation of the extra player. Considering that the attacking line has practically not changed, it is unlikely that this indicator will be seriously exposed.
- Dynamo averaged two goals per game during the preseason
As we have already noted, Dynamo has not yet been able to show the results of the changes in the team, and first of all, the old problem is observed - the club's low performance.
Estimated composition
Kareev, Brook, Welle, Moroz, Shipachev, Volkov, Henkel, Hamilton, Kuznetsov, Pinchuk, Anas, Korobov, Usov, Pyshkaylo, Gorbunov, Shinkevich, Stas, Sotishvili, Kovgorenya, Salvygo
Amur Khabarovsk
Current form
Just a few weeks before the end of last season, a fierce battle for the eighth place in the table, and therefore for a place in the playoffs, unfolded in the East. Three teams had a chance to participate in the Gagarin Cup, but it was Amur that managed to achieve the desired result, having scored the most points due to a long winning streak. However, in the cup itself, the Khabarovsk team predictably suffered a defeat in the series with the future winner, Metallurg.
It seems that the coaching staff was satisfied with this result, as the core of the team remained unchanged, and during the offseason they only tried to strengthen the weak points, in particular the attacking line. At first glance, the club's management succeeded in this, because the roster was replenished with American forward Alexander Galchenyuk, as well as Canadian Devin Brosseau. Together, these two forwards scored 77 points last season. It is worth noting that the reinforcements have already begun to bring results, which was especially noticeable in the last three friendly matches of the preseason.
Injuries and disqualifications
Talaluev (injury)
Interesting trends for betting
- Last season, Amur scored an average of 2.33 goals per game
Amur's main problem from year to year remains its low attacking performance, and even a reliable defensive line is unable to compensate for this deficiency.
- On average, every 14th shot by Amur resulted in a goal.
This result is one of the worst in the league, with only Admiral having a lower shot rate.
Estimated composition
Lozebnikov, Bobkov, Rylov, Kulik, Baldaev, Mishchenko, Gurkin, Ryzhikov, Shchemerov, Grachev, Durando, Broadhurst, Brosseau, Gretsky, Galchenyuk, Lapin, Gizdatullin, Lee, Khokhlachev, Shevchenko, Korotkikh
Trends
Bet 1st goal: "Amur"
In three out of four head-to-head matches, Amur opened the scoring
2.05Goal in each period bet – no
In four out of five head-to-head games, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
2.05Tip and bets
At the start of the regular championship, you have to judge the form of the teams by pre-season matches, in which the coaching staff often experiments and tries to play new lines and links, which may not have the best effect on the results. Amur successfully completed the pre-season, winning three victories in a row, which cannot be said about Dinamo Minsk. Indeed, the Bisons were unable to give a worthy rebuff even to Admiral, suffering a 3:7 rout, and with an almost optimal lineup. All this suggests that the Minsk team is not yet ready for the regular season and will not start it in the best way. So we suggest taking advantage of the very high odds and betting in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is Amur's victory in the match for 2.35
Bet on total
Both teams often had problems with scoring last season and it is difficult to say whether they will be able to correct this shortcoming. It is also worth paying attention to face-to-face meetings, in which the clubs rarely please fans with goals scored. So, as a second bet, we suggest choosing total under.
Betting Tip - total under five goals for 1.82
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Dynamo will be playing at home, where, thanks to the home advantage, they should begin to seriously put pressure on Amur, which the Khabarovsk team may not be ready for.
Prediction: Dynamo wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.64
