Lokomotiv - Dinamo Minsk: betting tip (cf 1.67) and bets on the KHL match

Command Analysis

Current form
Lokomotiv currently holds the first place in the Western Conference and has 81 points. The team is ahead of the nearest pursuer by five points, so it can feel as comfortable as possible. The club has been showing excellent results throughout the month and has been virtually undefeated. Not so long ago, the Yaroslavl team expanded the series to seven victories, which was interrupted in Minsk, where they lost to Dynamo with a score of 2:4. After that, fortunately, they immediately came to their senses and dealt with Sochi (2:1 OT), and also celebrated their success at home against Neftekhimik with a score of 1:0.
Bob Hartley's squad continues to adhere to a very closed style of play and often allows their opponents to score no more than one or two goals. Of course, the railwaymen themselves show mediocre performance, which is why they get many victories with minimal difference in the score. Despite this, Loko is performing very well on the home court this season and has lost only five times in regular time from the very beginning.
Disqualifications and injuries
To date, the Locomotive has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, a Locomotive gets 8.19 minutes of penalty time.
- Yaroslavl residents, according to statistics, carry out 24 power moves per match.

Current form
Dynamo is on the third line of the Western Conference and is six points behind the opponent, but has one match in reserve. The team has also shown decent results lately, and the difficult period seems to be over. Minsk residents were successful in four out of five previous meetings and dealt with their rivals within the regular time. However, now they will have a long away series until the end of February, during which they need to give their maximum in order to reduce the gap in the table.
Earlier, on their ice, the bison defeated Severstal (7:4), Lokomotiv (4:2), and after a guest defeat from Spartak (3:4) they returned to Minsk, where they took revenge on the red-whites, literally defeating them with a score of 6:1. It is also worth noting to say that Dynamo continues to enjoy a great numerical advantage and currently has 30.4% of excess sales, ranking second in the league in this indicator, so most of them are serious weapons.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Joshua Brook will not be able to participate in the upcoming fight due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Minsk residents receive 7.12 minutes of penalty time per match.
- According to statistics, the bison make 35 shots on target
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.65Bet 3rd period: Yaroslavl will score
In three out of four matches against Minsk, the hosts scored in the third period.
1.55Tip and bets
We think that Lokomotiv has a better chance of success at home. Yaroslavl players have been playing strongly with the support of their fans throughout the season, and just a month ago they were already able to deal with Minsk residents in the main time. The Bison are clearly not as successful on the road as they are at home, and they always have problems against the style of play of the railwaymen.
Betting Tip - Locomotive wins with a handicap (0) in 1.67
Bet on the total
The previous three out of four matches between the clubs that took place this season were less than five goals scored. Lokomotiv continues to play indoor hockey and in most cases manages with a minimum number of goals conceded. The bison will have to accept the owners' conditions again, so we would not expect high performance in the upcoming confrontation.
We take a total of less than 4.5 goals for 2.05
