Belarus vs. KHL World Team: Channel One Cup Match Forecast

Current form

The Belarusian national team arrived in St. Petersburg with a fairly strong lineup, but took a long time to get going. The "red-greens" could not score against Kazakhstan for 40 minutes, but in the third 20 minutes they scored three times against Andrei Shutov (3:1). Dmitry Kvartalnov team was losing to Russia by 25 at the start of the second period, but literally a little over a minute later they took the lead, but still could not win (3:4, OT).

Vadim Moroz and Vitaly Pinchuk scored two goals each in the first two matches at the Channel One Cup, but Andrey Stas was also good (1+1). The other players are not so good yet, but they still have a chance to prove themselves.
