Dynamo came to the playoffs clearly not in the best shape, as the team did not demonstrate the highest quality hockey before the curtain of the regular season. The Muscovites had to start with two away matches against the clear favorite in the person of Dinamo Minsk. After the failure in the first match and a 1-3 defeat, the blue and white were unable to correct their mistakes and played even worse defensively in the second leg, suffering a defeat with a three-goal difference (1-4). The attacking line proved to be terrible, practically without creating proper pressure on the opponent.
Having returned to the home arena, the club finally demonstrated a high-quality defensive game. Due to the efforts of goalkeeper Podyapolsky, it was possible to restrain the pressure of the Minsk residents and not allow them to gain a critical advantage. In the third period, the Muscovites equalized the score and moved the game into overtime, where they eventually suffered an insulting defeat (1:2). Now Dynamo is on the verge of relegation from the Gagarin Cup.

Current form
Before the start of the Gagarin Cup, Dinamo Minsk had a serious recession, which caused the team to lose a huge number of points and finally withdrew from the race for leadership in the Western Conference table. However, in the opening matches of the series with the Muscovites, the team completely refuted all the fears of the fans. In the first two matches, the buffaloes met virtually no resistance from the Muscovites and, due to an incredibly active game in attack, won two very convincing victories with a score of 3:1 and 4:1, respectively. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
In the first away match, the Bisons still had difficulties. Kvartalnov's team changed tactics and tried to play defensively, not allowing the opponent to realize his attacking potential to the fullest. This was achieved mainly due to the efforts of goalkeeper Fukale, who deflected 31 shots out of 32. It came to overtime, where they managed to snatch another victory (2:1). Now only one victory separates the team from the 1/4 Gagarin Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Striker Sotishvili is injured and will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
After the uncertain victory of Minsk residents away, bookmakers give a very high coefficient for their next success, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. As you can see, the bison are far superior to the Muscovites in all respects, as they prove from match to match. The blue and white simply can't stand the competition, and even at home they couldn't achieve the desired result. We believe that Kvartalnov's team will not miss the opportunity to complete the series without a single defeat, so we are betting in their favor.
Our betting tip is the victory of Dinamo Minsk in the match in 1.70
You should not expect a large number of abandoned pucks again. Minsk residents have changed their tactics on a visit and now play mainly from defense. The blue and white team in this series have huge problems both creating and implementing attacking chances, so there is a great opportunity to bet on a smaller total.
