SKA showed once again in the regular season that few can compete with them in the KHL, the team confidently took 1st place in the Western Conference, winning 50 out of 58 games, 85% of home games ending in victories.
Dynamo Minsk made the playoffs only because five of the six teams in the Tarasov division earned a place in the Gagarin Cup, and it wasn't too difficult to beat Kunlun. We do not expect to see a sensation in this pairing, SKA looks clearly stronger, which is also confirmed by the statistics of face-to-face meetings.
Prediction: SKA to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.42
