Dinamo Minsk - Ak Bars. Betting Tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Dynamo held the regular tournament, being among the leaders of the Western Conference all the time and even headed it at some point. Even after not playing brilliantly in January-March (31 points in 29 matches), they became the second most productive team in the league and reached the playoffs from the West from second place, where they received one eighth of the Gagarin Cup final from their Moscow teammates, who finished seventh in the West. The Bison spent the entire series in one go and turned out to be the only participants in the relegation matches who managed not only to win the series, but also to keep within just four matches (4-0). Thus, the Minsk team took revenge on the Muscovites for losing in the first round of the playoffs in 2024 and now they certainly intend to go beyond the quarterfinals stage.

Dmitry Kvartalnov's team is now well motivated and staffed with players who are well able to solve serious problems. Sam Enes and Vitaly Pinchuk were among the best snipers of the regular season, and Zach Fucale, who won four victories with a reliability coefficient of 0.89, was recognized as the best goalkeeper of the eighth Gagarin Cup final. Through the gate Fukala scored 108 shots, of which he deflected 96.3%.

Current form

As expected, the three-time winner of the Gagarin Cup overcame the distance of the regular season strongly and steadily, calmly took the third place in the East and in the first stage of the playoffs converged with last year's finalist of the cup Chelyabinsk Tractor. The series turned out to be extremely stubborn, although it lasted not seven, but only five matches (4-1). The intensity of the fight is highlighted by the fact that three out of five games ended in regular time with a draw. In all three, Ak Bars won in overtime - twice at home and once away, meaning playing in extra time was a key component of success in this series.

Goalkeeper Timur Bilyalov was in goal for four games in the series with Tractor, and he won three of them. Artem Galimov (4 goals + 2 assists), Kirill Semenov (2+1) and Dmitry Yashkin (2+0) scored in the offensive line. He showed himself vividly in this series.Mitchell Miller, named the KHL's best defender of the first round of the playoffs, scored 6 (2+4) points in five games with a score of +7.
