Dynamo Moscow vs Dinamo Minsk prediction
Dynamo Moscow
The battle between the two Dynamo teams in the first round of the KHL playoffs is likely to be without intrigue. Muscovites are the best regular season team that won the Continental Cup, they scored 3.16 goals per game on average for the season, and the Blue and white have the best majority — 30.7% of sales, and this may be key for Alexey Kudashov's team, because there is a lot of cautious hockey in the playoffs, and the game is unequal lineups are an additional factor that will help break into defensive redoubts, and when you have a stable 30% implementation, it is a serious help, especially in the late stages of the playoffs.
Dinamo Minsk
I don't really believe in Minsk residents in this Gagarin Cup. Even last year there were more chances against SKA. The fact is that the “bison” have long secured the 8th place, and played based on this, having no special chances to rise higher, and not strained by the teams from below, which should have somewhat relaxed the Minsk residents, and it would be difficult for them to gather immediately for such matches.
Prediction
From all this, I conclude that Dynamo Moscow should take the upper hand in this match. After all, the Muscovites held the end powerfully, having won 9 victories in a row, and according to the season, all four matches remained for Kudashov's team: twice 4:1 and twice 2:1, all in regular time, so here I expect a victory from the “blue and white” in 60 minutes of the game.
