LiontipsDinamo Minsk - Shanghai Dragons: betting tip (cf 1.68) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Dynamo remains in third position in the West and cannot regain its leadership in the conference. Dmitry Kvartalnov's team scored 63 points in 47 matches and is only three points behind Severstal, but Cherepovets played two fewer matches. Minsk residents had a great opportunity to reach the first place in the table, but the hosts did not take advantage of it and after the break they did not show their former results. The Bison started the last outing with a defeat in Cherepovets (4:6), but then beat SKA (3:2) and teammates from Moscow (4:3). Before returning home, they lost in Yaroslavl (1:2).
On the ice of Arena 2000, neither side could open an account for a long time, although the duel was not too close. At the start of the third 20 minutes, Nikita Pyshkailo hit the Lokomotiv goalkeeper with a long-range shot, but the opponent quickly recovered. 24 seconds before the end of regular time, the Minsk team failed in defense and lost an important match.
Sam Enes tops the list of the league's top scorers. The American scored 57 points (22+35) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Xavier Ouellet and Joshua Brook will not participate in the next match.
Interesting betting trends

Current form
The Shanghai Dragons are in ninth place in the conference and are gradually moving away from the top eight in the West. Mitch Love's men have only 43 points in their piggy bank after 47 starts and are already ten points behind Spartak. The Chinese have been unable to come to their senses for quite a long time, and most recently the guests were devastated by the departure of the head coach. The guests are going on a series of five defeats in a row. They were defeated in Yaroslavl (0:2), lost in Moscow to Spartak (1:3), and then were defeated in Nizhny Novgorod (2:7).
Even in the first period of the match against Torpedo, the Shanghai team missed twice and found themselves in a difficult situation. After two more goals against the visitors, they went ahead and Ilya Kablukov and then Kevin Labank scored two goals. In the third 20 minutes, the Dragons' defense crumbled again and missed three more times during the final segment of the confrontation.
Nick Merkley remains the top scorer among the guests. He scored 36 goals (18+18) in this regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeremy Grolo, Troy Josephs, Patrick Rybar and Ben Harpur will not play in the next meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Shanghai holds 20 power moves per match.
- The Chinese get an average of 9.17 minutes of penalty time.

1.55The 1st periodrate: The hosts won't lose
Shanghai cannot win in the first period for four consecutive games.
1.13Tip and bets
Enraged by the defeats, Dynamo returns home, where Dmitry Kvartalnov's players do not forgive their rivals for mistakes. The hosts really need a win to return to first place in the West. The dragons look doomed and keep losing one encounter after another. We think that Minsk residents will beat Dragons without any problems.
Prediction - Dynamo wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo are scoring a lot on their home ice and currently remain the most productive team in the West. The Dragons have a lot of problems, but they've been missing a lot more lately than they did at the start of the regular season. We believe that Shanghai will not be able to cope with the powerful attack of Minsk and will concede at least four goals in this match.
We take Dynamo's individual total of more than 3.5 pucks for 1.73
