Ak Bars - Dinamo Minsk. Betting Tip (cf 1.75) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Ak Bars was among the leaders of the conference throughout the season and could well claim the second place in the East. As a result, Kazan lost the competition to Avangard and finished the regular season in third position. Anvar Gatiyatullin's team reached the Tractor in the first round of the playoffs and tried to impose their game from the first matches. The Greens quickly seized the advantage in the series and did not give up a single game on their ice. Not without difficulty, but the hosts beat Chelyabinsk in five matches and got time to rest.

In the second stage, the team from Kazan was able to win two important matches in Minsk (2:1 and 5:4, respectively) and returned home in a great mood. Ak Bars secured a comfortable advantage by the second break, and in the third 20 minutes they played reliably at their own goal. Maxim Arefyev had a great match and blocked all 37 shots in his possession, becoming the best player of the match.

Current form

Dinamo Minsk got off to a great start this season and were leading in the West by the New Year's break. In the second part of the regular season, Dmitry Kvartalnov's team slowed down a little in terms of stability and could not compete with Lokomotiv for the right to be first in the conference. Having come out of second place in the West, the Bison met with teammates from Moscow and simply did not notice the opponent. Minsk residents confidently beat the blue and white in the capital of Belarus and twice turned out to be better than Muscovites in Russia.

Dynamo tried to seize the initiative at the start of the series against Ak Bars, but they could not keep the advantage of home ice. Andrey Stas's squad was very close in a hurry in the second match, but missed the necessary score with less than a minute before the end of regular time. In Kazan, Dynamo suffered a crushing defeat and was unable to seal the opponent's possession, and Zach Fukale was replaced by Vasily Demchenko.
