LiontipsDynamo Moscow - Amur. Forecast and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Dynamo has finally started to gain momentum and is now close to getting into the top five. The hosts have 22 points after 19 games, and the white-blues have a series of six games in a row with points earned. Alexey Kudashov charges looked good on the road and after a victory over Torpedo in Nizhny Novgorod (3:2, B) they did not finish off the KHL leader in Yaroslavl (3:4, B), although they had an advantage in the score at the end of regulation time. Before returning to Moscow, Nikita Gusev team confidently beat Avtomobilist in Yekaterinburg (2:1).
The Dynamo players have improved their defense and are conceding much less. Maxim Motorygin has become the hosts' number one goalie, displacing rookie Hunter Miska from the starting lineup. The goalie reflects 92.91% of shots and has a reliability coefficient of 1.97. By the way, in the previous five matches, the capital team has conceded only nine times. As for the attack, Nikita Gusev has started to come to his senses, having already made 18 effective actions (7+11) and is in 11th place on the list of the league best scorers.
Disqualifications and injuries
Maxim Comtois will not play against Khabarovsk.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo averages 33 shots per game
The "white-blues" put a lot of pressure on the opposing goalkeepers, constantly shooting at the goal.
- Dynamo wins 53.1% of faceoffs
The home team centers remain among the best in the league at the point at the moment.
Current form
Amur continues to be one of the main outsiders not only in the Eastern Conference, but in the entire league as a whole. The club from Khabarovsk scored a modest 12 points in 20 games and after terrible results at the start of the away series, the management made a difficult decision. Andrei Martemyanov was dismissed and now Viktor Kostyuchenok will be acting head coach. The Tigers have not scored points since October 13 and in their away tour of central Russia they have already lost to CSKA (0:7), Lokomotiv (0:5) and Severstal (0:3).
The "Cats" have had problems in attack throughout the regular season, but now the situation has reached its peak. In the three previous matches, Alexander Khokhlachev team did not score a single goal, losing with a total score of 0:15. The visiting legionnaires still do not live up to expectations. Alex Galchenyuk is the Far Easterners' top scorer, but he has only scored seven points (4+3) in 20 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Devin Brossoit did not travel with the team on the road to central Russia.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur wins only 49.9% of faceoffs
Viktor Kostyuchenko team performs well at the point, but this is not enough for victories.
- The Tigers are averaging 7.7 penalty minutes per game.
The guests try to break the rules of the game as little as possible, but this does not always work out.

1.98Tip and bets
We believe that Dynamo will not allow their opponent to score points on the ice of VTB Arena. The White-Blues are in good shape and need to move on to return to the leaders of the Western Conference. Amur can currently be called the weakest team in the league. The visitors have a huge number of problems, while they have not been able to score for three games in a row. The last four meetings between the opponents were won by Dynamo, and a month ago, Alexey Kudashov charges beat the "cats" in Khabarovsk. We believe in the victory of the hosts in regular time. We suggest betting on the victory of the Muscovites.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory at 1.67
Bet on individual total
Dynamo has started scoring a little less, but it is unlikely that the Muscovites will fail to score at least three times in the match against Amur. In three away games, the Cats have conceded as many as 15 times. We think that it will not be a problem for the White-Blues' attack to beat the weak defense of the Far Easterners.
Forecast - Dynamo individual total more than three goals for 1.80
Bet on total
Alexey Kudashov charges played poorly in defense during the first two months of the regular season, but have now begun to play a little better on their half of the ice. Dynamo always play very actively at home, but they "bring in" too many goals. The visitors are having a terrible trip to central Russia, but Viktor Kostyuchenko team will be extremely determined to break the terrible goalless streak. We believe that the opponents will score at least six goals between them.
Forecast - total over five goals for 1.85
