Command Analysis

Belarus

Current form
The national team of Belarus has been transformed after Dmitry Kvartalnov joined the coaching bridge. The head coach of Dinamo Minsk has put a great game in the base club of the national team and therefore the team consists mainly of bison. The red-greens looked great in Kazakhstan, and after a confident victory over the Russians (4:2), they dealt with the ice masters (2:0) without any problems.
At the same time, Belarus looks very cool against the Russian national team and plays only open hockey. She uses her strengths and tries to make the most of her moments. Of course, the main scorer is Vitaly Pinchuk, who managed to score four goals during this series.

Russia

Current form
Roman Rotenberg's team started their tour with duels in Kazakhstan. Russia beat the hosts in the opening match (4:1), showing excellent execution of the moments. The very next day, the red car suffered an unpleasant defeat from its future rival, but it cannot be said that this was not the case (2:4).
The Russians are still completely unable to cope with their opponent's attack. The team plays great offensively and takes advantage of its chances well, but, for example, in the last match it was able to score only one goal, losing with a score of 1:3. At the same time, the national team hit the opponent's goal with a total of 27 shots and tried to act as the first number, but this activity did not bring the desired result.

Trends
Bet 2nd period: total more than 1.5 goals
In the last five matches between the national teams, the second period was productive.
1.52Bet period 1: Russia will score
The Russians scored in the opening period in the last two out of three matches.
1.40Tip and bets
Russia must pull itself together after three unsuccessful matches against Belarus. Moreover, the squad at the moment is quite good, and there are many players in it who are able to take over the game and lead the team. Belarus has probably already had enough of emotions, and the players are definitely tired. We think that the Rotenberg team will be successful this time.
Betting Tip - Russia's victory in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
The Russian national team has a pretty powerful offensive line. It features players from powerful KHL teams, and Belarus does not have a reliable defensive line and allows its opponent too much. In addition, Belarusians play rather poorly in the minority, while Russia enjoys a good numerical advantage, so we suggest putting a formal favorite on the total.
We take Russia's individual total of more than 3.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on the total total
Usually the matches between the national teams are spectacular and take place with more than five goals scored. The national teams in friendly matches do not try to devote much time to defense and play on opposite courses. In addition, both Russia and Belarus are committed to open hockey and have powerful offensive lines. Based on this, we suggest taking the total more.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.57
