Command Analysis
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor leads the Eastern Conference table with 39 points. The team has shown excellent results throughout the season. As a rule, it does not allow itself to lose even in two matches in a row, but not so long ago something like this did happen to it. Let us recall that at home, the Chelyabinsk team could not cope with Lokomotiv (3:5), and on the road they lost to Admiral with a score of 3:4 in overtime. Fortunately, after that, on the road, they dealt with Amur (4:3), and also confidently beat Metallurg (4:0), while getting away without a single missed puck.
Overall, the Bears have shown a great balance between defense and attack this year. They use their moments well and at the same time often end up with no more than two goals conceded. It is also worth mentioning that after a tough away series, the club had the opportunity to recover and received three full days of rest.
Benoit Groux team looks pretty good in the majority, too, since it is fourth in the league in this indicator and has a 23% power play conversion rate. Let us emphasize that Traktor is very active in the third game period and often scores goals in it. The leading scorer in the team by a large margin in terms of points scored is Maxim Shabanov, who managed to earn 25 points in the goal + pass system.

HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Dynamo is fourth in the West and currently has 33 points. The white-blues had a very poor start to this season and could not improve their position in the table, but have improved significantly over the past month. Alexey Kudashov changed his team style of play and began to devote more time to defense than attack. Because of this, the team performance has significantly decreased, but at the same time, it has begun to concede much less than before. Note that in seven of the previous eight matches, the club regularly earned points.
The Muscovites unexpectedly lost to Lada on their home court (2:3), but then dealt with Avangard on the road (5:3), and also proved their superiority over Sibir in a tough fight with a score of 2:1. Incidentally, in most of the previous matches, Maxim Motorygin played in goal, and Hunter Miska remained on the bench. The American got his chance in the recent match with Vityaz, where he let in three goals, after which he again went to the position of number two.
Dynamo players perform best in the first twenty minutes, but at the same time they fail in the third game segment, in which they have 19:27 in goals scored and missed. However, in terms of power play, Dynamo is again one of the best clubs in the league and currently occupies fourth place in the championship, with 23.7% of implementation.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured or disqualified players on the roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo has a 28:16 ratio of goals scored and conceded in the first period
Dynamo players are playing their strongest in the opening period of the game
- The blue-whites receive 9.19 minutes of penalty time
Dynamo still lacks good discipline and is sent off on average at least four to five times per match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
2.05Bet 2nd period: Chelyabinsk win
In three out of five meetings against the Muscovites, the hosts kept the second period for themselves
2.55Tip and bets
Dynamo has rebuilt and started playing a different style of hockey compared to the beginning of the season. The white-blues have started to concede fewer goals than before, and they haven't slowed down much in attack. The Muscovites have finished most of the previous matches in their favor and often earned points. Traktor has returned from a tough away series. Of course, the Chelyabinsk team had time to recover, but they are unlikely to be in optimal physical shape right now. We think that for such a coefficient it is definitely worth betting on a victory for the visitors.
Prediction - Dynamo win with handicap (0) for 2.20
Total Bet
Traktor does not play as successfully on home ice as on the road, and many matches are played with a minimum number of goals scored. Dynamo also does not show the same efficiency on the road as on the home ice. By the way, the white-blues played the last match with only three goals scored. It is quite possible that in the upcoming match both teams will act extremely carefully and pay a lot of attention to defense.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.55
Bet on individual total
The Bears, of course, have demonstrated incredible efficiency in recent matches and have consistently scored at least three goals, but after a tense away series on their home ice, they may face problems with converting their chances. Plus, if Maxim Motorygin plays reliably again, the hosts are unlikely to score any goals.
We take the individual total of "Traktor" less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.85
