Torpedo - Dinamo Minsk. Forecast and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Torpedo continues to be on the decline, losing points from match to match. The team did not finish the short away series in the best way, suffering an unfortunate defeat to Salavat Yulaev by only one goal (4:5). The Nizhny Novgorod team was about to take the game into overtime, but forward Firstov was sent off, which led to a missed goal just a minute before the final whistle. It seemed that, having returned to their home arena, the Avtozavodtsy would leave no chance for the troubled Vityaz, but this did not happen. The vaunted effectiveness of Larionov charges evaporated, which ultimately led to a second defeat with a score of 1:2.

Continuing to play at home, the team met with a more powerful competitor in the person of CSKA and again realized only one dangerous moment, losing with one puck on the score (1:3). Torpedo has been storming throughout the regular championship, and the club defense looks the most unstable. The defenders often get carried away in attack and do not have time to return to their zone, which is why they lose the advantage. At the moment, the team occupies only the seventh line in the Western Conference table, despite the fact that it remains one of the most productive in the league.

Disqualifications and injuries

"Avtozavodtsy" continue to experience problems with their lineup, which seems to have begun to affect their results. In the upcoming match, forwards Belevich, Berlev, Larionov, as well as defender Voynov, will again not be able to play due to injuries.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, Torpedo scores 3.6 goals per match

The team continues to rely on the attacking line, which is why they often score a large number of goals.

• Nizhny Novgorod residents receive an average of nine penalty minutes per match

Igor Larionov has not yet been able to establish discipline in his team, which leads to frequent removals.

Current form

Dynamo has been showing inconsistent results this season and is losing points more often than winning. The team is currently in eighth place in the Western Conference table, but it is worth noting that the club is only four points away from third place in the table. The attacking line of the Minsk team is showing good results, but even it is not always able to compensate for a large number of failures in defense, which is the main reason for the not-so-great start to the regular championship.

At the moment, the "bisons" are playing an away series and have already played two away matches. In the first, the Minsk team met with the leader of the Western Conference and were able to give a worthy rebuff to the clear favorite, losing with a difference of only one goal (2:3). Goalkeeper Tikhomirov did not show his best, he had to be replaced at the very beginning of the second period, after the third missed goal. After a confident performance away to the Yaroslavl team, it seemed that the "Dynamo" players would be able to impose a fight on "Severstal", but this did not happen. Once again, a weak defense let them down, which this time led to a crushing defeat with a score of 2:5.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dynamo is also experiencing certain problems with its lineup, which primarily affected the attacking line. Two forwards, Dube and Stas, are still in the infirmary. Goalkeeper Kareev has also not recovered from his injury.

Interesting trends for betting

• Dynamo averages 37 shots per game

The Minsk team is distinguished by its very active attacking play and is currently the best in the league in terms of the number of shots on target.

• The Bisons converted just 16.7 percent of their power play attempts.

But the team has serious problems with the effectiveness of shots; the “bisons” rarely realize the advantage of one player.
