Forecast for the KHL match Dynamo – SKA
For the opponents, the upcoming match will be the fourth head-to-head match this season. Before this, SKA won two victories, one match remained for Dynamo.
If we talk about the current form of the teams, then both are approaching the match against each other in good condition. The Muscovites won their last four matches, although two of them had to go to shootouts. On their ice, Alexey Kudashov’s team has not been inferior to anyone in regular time since October 7th.
In the last four matches, SKA won three times and lost once – to Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo. In November – early December, Rotenberg’s team had an impressive streak of 11 victories in a row, which helped the St. Petersburg team rise from the basement of the Western Conference, where SKA found itself after failing to start the regular season.
Particular attention in the upcoming meeting should be paid to Dynamo forward Nikita Gusev, who played for SKA last season and was suspended from playing for the main team during the playoffs. According to rumors, this was done due to problems with the regime. Now Gusev, defending the colors of Dynamo, is among the top 5 best scorers in the entire KHL. He has 52 points (15 goals plus 37 assists) in 43 regular season games.
What to bet on in the KHL match “Dynamo” – SKA
It is risky to bet on one of the teams to win this match, given the almost equal chances from the bookmakers’ point of view. In previous head-to-head games, teams scored a minimum of three goals between them, and a maximum of eight. And in the last matches of the regular season with other clubs, both Dynamo and SKA score a lot. Therefore, we can assume that in the upcoming match at least five goals will be scored between the two of them. This bet is called total 4.5, the odds for such an outcome of events are approximately 1.65.
