LiontipsSKA - Dinamo Minsk: betting tip (cf 1.68) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Getting a ticket to the playoffs gave strength to the team from the banks of the Neva River, and she made it clear with her game that she did not intend to remain in the bottom eight of the West. Having had a good February – 16 points in 11 matches, the Army team started March with three wins in a row, defeating, after Barys (7:0), the Dynamo teams of Minsk (2:1, OT) and Moscow (2:1, OT). Right now, the red and blue are in the midst of a lively battle for places from fourth to eighth, which also involves Torpedo, CSKA, Spartak and Dynamo Moscow.
SKA has 75 points in 63 matches. Based on the games played in January-March, an interesting statistical emphasis is revealed in the actions of Igor Larionov's team during the regular season. The first period is held in an approximately equal struggle (17 goals were scored by SKA players, 18 missed), in the second periods the opponents were slightly more successful (19-24), but in the final third of the match the army team includes additional resources and often changes the course of the game in their favor (26-15). The main striking force of the team at the finish of the regular season is the outplayed forwards Sergey Plotnikov, Marat Khairulin, Matvey Polyakov and Nikolai Goldobin, who regularly score points in recent matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikita Zaitsev and Trevor Murphy will not play against Minsk.
Interesting trends for betting
- SKA makes an average of 29 shots on target per match.
- According to statistics, the army conducts 13 power techniques.
Current form
After Lokomotiv secured a point lead and first place in the Western Conference a few rounds before the end of the regular season, Dinamo Minsk, as its main pursuer, faced the task of retaining the second line in the table, or even a place in the top four, bearing in mind several factors at once. The main ones are: a very difficult calendar at the finish line (Minsk residents will have home meetings with Lokomotiv, Avangard and Avtomobilist) and a clearly suboptimal playing form of the team.
Having finished February with three away wins, Dynamo entered March with two home defeats – from Metallurg (0:3) and SKA (1:2, OT) - and another away on March 9 from their Moscow teammates. Minsk residents won the first period 1-0, after scoring fireworks in the second period, the score became 3:3. The third period was also productive, following which the score was 4:6 in favor of the capital's team. Minsk is currently second in the West with 83 points after 64 games and the best performance among all Western Conference teams with 231 goals scored. Severstal is chasing them, losing only one point. We are ready to take advantage of a possible bison misfire in the next Torpedo and CSKA games. Dynamo urgently needs to overcome a setback streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vadim Moroz and Ryan Spooner will not help the team on the road.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Dynamo performs 15 power moves per match.
- Minsk residents, according to statistics, make 35 shots on target
Trends
Bet 2nd period: total less than 1.5 goals
In three of the four games involving SKA, the second period turned out to be a grassroots one.
2.10Bet period 1: SKA will not lose
The hosts have not lost in the first period for three consecutive games.
1.47Tip and bets
SKA is gaining momentum again and has won the last three matches. Igor Larionov's team plays great defense and allowed the opponents to score only two goals in their own goal in 180 minutes of regular time. Dynamo is on a three-game losing streak. The guests are constantly let down by the defensive game and they are not playing well against the army team. We think that Igor Larionov's team will be able to score at least one point at home.
Betting Tip - SKA won't lose in 1.68
Betting on an individual total
SKA does not play so well in attack, but Minsk residents constantly have problems in defense. Dmitry Kvartalnov's team is the best in the West in terms of implementing chances, but it misses a lot on its own. In 33 away games, the Bison conceded 102 goals and we think that the SKA attackers will be able to take advantage of the opponent's weakness.
We take the individual SKA total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.98
