Under 5.5 Goals
With odds of 74.40, betting on under 5.5 goals is a compelling option given Metallurg Zhlobin’s solid defense. Historically, their games tend to be tightly contested, suggesting a lower total goal count. This prediction aligns with their tendency to control the pace and minimize scoring opportunities for opponents.
Under 4.5 Goals
At odds of 62.50, the under 4.5 goals market offers a slightly higher risk but also potentially greater reward. Considering both teams’ recent performances, where Yunost Minsk has struggled to breach strong defenses, this bet could prove lucrative. The defensive prowess of Zhlobin further supports this prediction.
Under 1.5 Goals in 1P
With odds at 60.90, the under 1.5 goals in the first period is an attractive proposition. Given both teams’ cautious approaches at the start of games to assess their opponents’ strategies, it is likely that the first period will be low-scoring.

Highest Scoring Period: Second Period
