LiontipsDynamo Moscow vs. Vityaz. KHL match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Muscovites have started to get out of the situation that developed at the beginning of the season. Alexey Kudashov team has gained excellent momentum and has risen to sixth place in the Western Conference. Dynamo has earned 24 points in 20 starts and could reach the top three in the very near future. The capital club had a great last away game and achieved positive results in Nizhny Novgorod (3:2, B), Yaroslavl (3:4, B) and Yekaterinburg (2:1). Nikita Gusev team began the series of games on home ice with a minimal but dry victory over Amur, which is in a terrible crisis (1:0).
The "white-blues" have been showing reliable play in defense lately. The hosts have conceded only six goals in the last five games, and Maxim Motorygin has firmly established himself as the capital number one. The young Dynamo goalie has reflected 93.73% of shots in his possession and has an excellent reliability coefficient of 1.79. In 12 starts, the Russian has made three shutouts, which is a very strong indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dynamo will play against Vityaz with their full squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo averages 32 shots per game
The "white-blues" put a lot of pressure on the opposing goalkeepers, constantly shooting at the goal.
- Dynamo wins only 52.8% of faceoffs
The home team centers remain among the best in the league at the point at the moment.
Current form
Vityaz has gained good form and earned a lot of points in the second month of the regular season. The club from the Moscow region is only in ninth place in the West, having only 21 points after 21 games. Pavel Desyatkov team is only one point behind Dynamo Minsk, which is in eighth place, so the Bogatyrs' chances of making it to the playoffs are still good. After a crushing defeat at home to SKA (1:8), Vladimir Galuzin team went on an away tour. The Balashikha team lost to the Zubrs in the capital of Belarus, but achieved local success in matches against Torpedo (2:1) and Spartak (3:4, OT).
The visitors score little and this often prevents them from winning. In the last five matches, Vityaz has only made nine accurate shots, while conceding 14. Yes, most of these goals were in the game against SKA, so we can note the good actions of goalkeeper Maxim Doroshko on the last line of defense. The Rusichi goalkeeper has reflected 93.28% of the shots and has three shutouts in two months of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Grigory Vaschenko and Ivan Yezhov will not help their partners in the away match against Dynamo.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vityaz wins only 46.7% of faceoffs
The visitors are not as successful at the point and win less than half of their face-offs.
- The Bogatyrs earn 7.3 minutes of penalty time on average per match.
The guests try to violate the rules of the game as little as possible, but Pavel Desyatkov charges do not always succeed.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three of the last four games on the ice of the VTB Arena, the first period was not productive
1.75Bet 3rd period: home team with handicap (0)
Dynamo has not lost at home in the third period for three games in a row
1.40Tip and bets
We think that the Muscovites' winning streak will continue in the game against the "Bogatyrs". The "White-Blues" have become extremely reliable and accurate on their half of the ice and rarely make mistakes in defense. "Vityaz" is not bad in defense, but the guests do not have the same skilled attackers as "Dynamo" has. In the last nine meetings between the teams, Vladimir Galuzin squad was able to take points only once. We believe that the hosts will win with class and will do it within the regular time. We offer a bet on the victory of the first.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory at 1.75
Bet on total
Both teams are reliable in defense and have conceded very little in October. Vityaz has failed in only one match recently, but then the visitors could not cope with the best attack of the league. Most recently, the teams played each other in Balashikha and did not show productive hockey. The White-Blues won a dry victory, scoring only three times. Let play the total under goals.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on individual total
"Bogatyri" are losing a lot of points precisely because of poor execution of moments. On average, the guests score only 2.38 goals per game, but now "Vityaz" will face one of the best teams in defense today. The Muscovites have conceded only six goals in five previous matches. We do not think that the hosts will fail in the upcoming battle.
Forecast - individual total of "Vityaz" less than two goals for 1.75
