Dynamo Moscow - Sochi: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The blue and white team is doing well this year. The drastic measure in the form of Alexey Kudashov's resignation from the position of head coach had only a limited effect, without bringing the desired steady progress. 14 points in 15 January-February games with a 35-39 goal difference is clearly not the result that the club's management and fans expected. There is a feeling that the team is sagging a little towards the end of the game: in the last nine matches played, only two goals were scored in the third periods, while in the first periods – seven goals, and in the second – ten.

Nevertheless, Dynamo is on the sixth line in the West and has a chance to finish the regular season in a higher place. At the end of January, Dynamo suffered three consecutive home defeats: from CSKA (2:4), from Severstal (2:3) and from Avangard (1:4), but after that they immediately took three trips, beating Spartak (3:2), Avtomobilist (2:1) and Torpedo. (4:2). Thus, a victory over Sochi at home can prolong this pleasant series of Muscovites and at the same time bring closer the moment of official registration of their admission to the playoff games. The main threat to the opponents' goals in recent matches has come from forwards Egor Rimashevsky and Dylan Sikura, who each scored four goals in five games.

Disqualifications and injuries

Defenders Kirill Gotovets and Fredrik Klasson are injured and will not be able to strengthen the team.

Interesting betting trends

• Dynamo statistically gets 7.14 minutes of penalty time.
• The blue and white team wins 49.7% of face-offs on average.

Current form

12 points in 18 games, a 27-66 goal difference, four matches without scoring goals – this is a disappointing interim result of the Leopards' performances this calendar year. At the moment, the southernmost KHL team with 40 points closes the Western Conference standings and still retains theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs, but it is difficult to imagine a real situation in which they would be realized - the gap from eighth place is 24 points.

Nevertheless, for the rest of the tournament, Sochi residents may try to solve less ambitious, but at the same time difficult tasks – for example, to win a four-match season series against Dynamo Moscow. Sochi hockey players know how to win in a duel with Muscovites: they managed to win against the blue and white twice - in September in Moscow (3:2, B) and in January in Sochi (2:0). Dynamo have won one match in Sochi in January (3-0). In the game in Yekaterinburg on February 17, Sochi was unable to resist a motorist, losing with a score of 1:4. Yuzhan forward Daniil Seroukh, who is the team's top scorer with 25 points in 44 matches, is notable for his active game. After the meeting with Dynamo Sochi, a six-match home series awaits.

Disqualifications and injuries

There are three injured players on the list: goalkeeper Alexey Shchetilin, defender Ilya Nikolaev and striker Denis Vengryzhanovsky.

Interesting betting trends

• Sochi gets an average of 8.07 minutes of penalty time.
