Command Analysis

Dynamo St. Petersburg Juniors

Current form
Dynamo from St. Petersburg is showing brilliant hockey this season and has higher goals than in the previous championship. At this stage, the team occupies a high fifth place in the Golden Division of the Western Conference, but this place was due to 14 unnecessary losses, and it will not be easy to catch up with the leading group. The first Spartak won again and is far ahead, but the fourth Loko has four points more. In the last match, the team from the Northern capital was able to beat Kapitan from Stupino. The club played at its level, acted well in attack, which was generally predictable. The team was able to realize the created scoring chances and ultimately won 4:2. This victory was the 23rd this season for Igor Efimov charges. The team from the banks of the Neva lost in overtime to the Mikhailov Academy U20 in the previous confrontation. In 37 matches, the team scored 119 goals, and conceded nine goals less.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team concedes an average of three goals per game.
- The club has not lost to its opponent in the last four head-to-head matches

SKA-GUOR Karelia

Current form
The Karelian club has been playing in the MHL for several seasons now, but has failed to show a powerful and brilliant game year after year. The SKA system club has a very weak roster, and is unable to compete for high places. The team can only dream of the Kharlamov Cup playoffs; such tasks are beyond the team capabilities. The current regular championship is not going well, as always. The team has suffered 34 defeats, scored only 62 goals and conceded a hundred more goals. In the last game, the team lost to SKA-1946 (3:6), and it is worth noting that SKA-GUOR managed to win in the final period with a score of 1:0. The game before, Igor Velker charges suffered a defeat in a battle with the Red Army (3:5) and, just like in the previous match, sensationally won in the third period. The club is the weakest in the entire MHL and has won only two victories since the start of the championship, which is the worst result in the league. The army men from Karelia deservedly occupy the last place in the Silver Division of the Eastern Conference and have only seven points. The gap from the leading Typhoon is 17 points, which they will not be able to make up before the end of the championship.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club concedes an average of 4.5 goals per game
- The team has lost 31 games in a row.

2.40Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the hosts as the favorites, and it is hard to disagree with this. The St. Petersburg club is holding the meeting at its arena and, most likely, will use a more powerful lineup and confidently win again. The team from the banks of the Neva is set only for victory. We believe that Dynamo will try to inflict a crushing defeat on the club from Karelia, as in the last game in St. Petersburg.
Betting Tip - handicap (-3.5) puck on Dynamo with odds of 2.07
Bet on total
In this pair, the hosts will dictate the game, gain a comfortable advantage and bring the game to a logical conclusion. It is worth noting that in the last face-to-face match in St. Petersburg, more than six goals were scored, and we believe that in this confrontation, too, a goal extravaganza will take place.
Betting Tip - total over 6.5 goals with odds of 1.88
Bet on individual total
The hosts have no problems in attack, the team in four face-to-face matches throws an average of five pucks to the opponent. We believe that Dynamo will be able to upset the opponent goalkeeper more than four times, since SKA-GUOR did not miss less in four of the past five games.
Betting Tip - Dynamo individual total over 4.5 goals for 1.70
