Command Analysis

HC Dynamo Moscow

Russian Federation

Current form

Dynamo didn't play well in the first part of the season, but they improved a lot in the second half of the regular season and beat key competitors. Alexey Kudashovali's team reached the playoffs from the second place in the conference and won the right to play in the first round at home. The blue and white started the series against SKA with confident victories on the home court (3:1 and 2:1, respectively), not allowing the opponent to throw more than one goal into his own net. They couldn't impose their game in the third match, but they put the squeeze on the Army team in overtime of the fourth match (5-4, OT).

Cedric Puckett became the leader of the home team's offense in the playoffs and scored six points (2+4) in six games. He is followed by Canadians Maxime Comtois (2+2) and Dylan Sikura (2+2), who scored four points each. Nikita Gusev, the top scorer of the regular season, is not so good yet. The Russian scored two goals and gave one assist to his teammates.

SKA St. Petersburg

Russian Federation

Current form

SKA did not show a strong level of play throughout the season and did not please its fans with stable results. The team from St. Petersburg looked good in the second half of March, but it still failed to rise above seventh place in the West. The Army team expected to catch at least one match in Moscow, but they were rather weak in attack and moved away a lot. The red-blues reduced the gap at home (3:5), but could not even the score in the series on their own ice, conceding the decisive goal in overtime (4:5, OT).

The guest leaders are not showing their best game yet and are scoring very few points. Evgeny Kuznetsov scored two points (1+1) in the last two games, and Ivan Demidov is the club's top scorer in the playoffs (2+1). Egor Zavragin was quite good at the start of the first series and reflected 91.20% of shots. In the last match, he was replaced by Artemy Pleshkov after a disastrous first period.

Tip and bets

1.73Dynamo with a head start (0)

Dynamo returns home in a great mood, because the Muscovites were able to take the match away and now they can finish the series on their ice. It was in the capital of Russia that Alexei Kudashov's team showed their best hockey and did not allow their opponent to attack anything. SKA has no right to make mistakes, but the guest leaders are not in the best shape and differ very little. We think that Igor Ozhiganov's team will control the course of the confrontation and will be able to knock the Army team out of the playoffs. We offer a bet on the victory of the hosts with a zero handicap.

Prediction - Dynamo wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.73

1.72IT Dynamo has more than 2.5 washers

Betting on an individual total

Dynamo's forwards are in excellent shape and only in one game out of four failed to score at least three accurate shots. Egor Zavragin was good enough in this series, but in the last match he failed and missed three times already in the first period. We believe that the hosts will put pressure on the Army team's goal again and score at least three times.

We bet on Dynamo's individual total of more than 2.5 washers with a coefficient of 1.72

Bet on the total total

The last two meetings between Dynamo and SKA turned out to be very bright and pleased the stands with a lot of goals. SKA has no right to make mistakes, so if the hosts score first, the guests will go ahead and open up. In the playoffs, there is often an early change of goalkeeper to a sixth fielder, so we expect at least six accurate shots from the clubs for two.

We take a total of more than five goals for 1.68
