In one of the brightest matches of the game day of the KHL championship, two strong teams, SKA and Dynamo Minsk, will meet. The match will take place on December 1 at 19:30 Moscow time at the Ice Palace of St. Petersburg. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
SKA
Despite a good start to the season, there are some problems in the defense of St. Petersburg, which was evident in almost all past games. At home, SKA always looks very confident and practically does not lose, showing bright attacking hockey. Now the team was able to return to the winning rails after a disastrous stretch, beating the difficult Neftekhimik and AK Bars on the road, but lost at home again, this time to Severstal 1:3.
Dynamo Minsk
The composition of the team has changed markedly compared to the last very successful season. The newcomers have already adapted to the team, because Minsk residents showed extremely confident hockey in recent games. Recently, the coronavirus began to "mow down" the team, and a series of injuries to important players led to a series of defeats, which was interrupted only in the last meeting by a victory over Tractor 2:1.
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 1:2 victory for SKA.
- SKA has a bad streak of five consecutive defeats at home.
- Dynamo have won only once in their last five meetings.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams have strong lineups and demonstrate a confident game. SKA has more serious performers in the cage and a long bench, especially after the return of players from the NHL. Dynamo started to revive after the recent failure, but the team is still far from optimal shape. I think we will have a bright and productive match.
