Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Ak Bars vs Dynamo Moscow

Ak Bars

The Kazan club is making another attempt to get out of the quagmire where the stars of Ak Bars, led by the venerable Oleg Znark, have driven themselves. It would seem that the home victory over the sole leader of the championship - St. Petersburg SKA, should have given the Ak Bars hockey players an additional impetus, but once again it turned out to be a one-time flash. This was followed by two away defeats from Avangard 1-2 and Siberia 2-4, which once again showed that the problems of the Bars had not gone away. Kazan lacks even a minimal hint of any stability, which, given the busy calendar, is a kind of sentence for the team.

Last week, Barca defeated HC Sochi 6-2 at home and, it would seem, should have taken full revenge on Siberia for the recent defeat in Novosibirsk. But in reality, Ak Bars failed again, once again playing ugly on the defensive. The 3-6 defeat is already 20 this season, while only 15 victories have been won. It sounds unexpected, but now the main task of Ak Bars is to maintain a place in the cup eight, which guarantees a place in the playoffs. At the moment, Bars are seventh in the East, with 36 points ahead of ninth-placed Barys by only three points.

Dynamo Moscow

Not the best way things are with the capital Dynamo, but here the team plays into the hands of the points reserve, which she managed to create due to a successful game at the start of the championship. To some extent, not the best results of the team were affected by personnel problems, when the injured players were joined by the sick, which noticeably bled the blue and white. Alexei Kudashev was forced to release yesterday's youth on the ice, which could not but affect the result.

In the last ten matches of the calendar championship, the blue-and-whites have lost seven times, having managed to win only three victories. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the level of rivals in this segment of the championship, the capital club did not play with any of the favorites, having managed to lose to Admiral, Amur, Dynamo Minsk. After such an unsuccessful performance in November, the question of staying in the group of leaders is not worth it, now Dynamo is only fifth in the standings of the Western Conference, already 20 points behind the leading SKA.

Game Totals Prediction

Both teams are in a noticeable game crisis, but if in the case of Ak Bars the problems are more of a psychological nature, then the team from the capital has personnel problems added to the game problems. There are many patients in the team, and the main loss can be considered the absence of Canadian forward Eric O'Dell, Dynamo's top scorer this season. Kazan should take two points and a home match against a bloodless opponent is the best option for this. Our prediction is Ak Bars to win in regular time with odds of 1.89.
