LiontipsDynamo Moscow vs. Dynamo Minsk. KHL match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Dynamo had a terrible start to the season and currently occupies only tenth place in the West with two points in their bank after four matches. Nikita Gusev's team played poorly in the away series of games and lost to Lada (3:6), and then to Spartak (2:4). The main problem of the "white-blues" is still a very poor game in defense. In just 240 minutes of playing time, the hosts conceded as many as 14 goals, which is slightly more than one goal per period.
Alexey Kudashov's charges cannot yet boast of good realization of their chances. Throwing an average of 33 times per match, the Dynamo players have a modest 6.7% of attempts scored. Goalkeepers Hunter Miska and Maxim Motorygin play disgustingly on the last line of the Capitals and miss 14.9% of shots from their opponents.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo wins 61% of faceoffs
The home team's centres are doing a great job at the face-off spot.
- The "white-blue" defenders block 20 shots per match
Most of the opponents' shots do not reach the Dynamo goalkeepers, but this does not help them play reliably.
Injuries and disqualifications
The hosts have no significant losses.
Current form
The Minsk team opened the season with a dry victory over Amur (3:0), after which they went on a long away tour. First, Dmitry Kvartalnov's charges lost to Spartak in Moscow (2:5), but then confidently beat Vityaz (5:1) and Barys (5:1). Dynamo failed in defense only in one of the matches, but even with this, the club from the capital of Belarus has excellent defensive performance. In four matches, the "bisons" conceded only seven times, which is only 1.75 goals on average per game.
It should be noted that in this regular season the Belarusians started playing in a sharp attacking style. Andrei Stas's team makes more than 34 shots per game on average, but allows Andrei Kareev to be bothered 30 times per game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Minsk players are sent off more than four times per game
Dynamo often breaks the rules of the game , but performs well when short-handed.
- Dynamo blocks 15 shots per game on average
The visiting team's defenders are doing a great job of catching their opponents' shots.
Injuries and disqualifications
The Minsk team will arrive in Moscow in its optimal composition.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total goals 1.5 more

1.88Bet 2nd period: Dynamo Minsk will not lose
Dynamo Moscow has not won a single second period in the new season
1.65Tip and bets
Muscovites make a lot of mistakes in defense, and goalies do not save Alexey Kudashov's team. The hosts cannot realize their full attacking potential yet and deservedly scored only two points in half of September. Dmitry Kvartalnov's charges play systematic hockey, which brings the necessary results. If not for the failure in the game against Spartak , the Minsk team could have scored the maximum points in the new regular season. We believe that the guests will be able to put up a fight and suggest betting on a positive handicap for the second.
Our prediction is a victory for Dynamo Minsk with an Asian handicap of +1.5 for 1.60
Bet on total
The Minsk team starts their games with a bang and often takes the lead at the very beginning of the match. The team from the capital of Russia brings a lot to itself, and Hunter Miska and Maxim Motorygin do not yet claim the right to be the best among their partners. We believe that the teams will have a productive match and score at least six times between them.
Betting Tip - total goals 5 more pucks for 1.65
Bet on the total of the first period
Minsk started all its matches well except for the last one and scored at least two goals in the first periods. The Muscovites are not so active in the first 20 minutes, but there were no dry starts in the matches involving Alexey Kudashov's team. We believe that there will be at least two accurate shots in the first period.
Betting Tip - total goals 1.5 more pucks in the first period for 1.88
