Shanghai Dragons vs Dynamo Prediction 5 November 2026
🔊 Red Star Kunlun took two points from Moscow in early October and will now look to repeat the feat in St Petersburg. HC Dynamo Moscow, though, have since ended a prolonged losing streak and head into this meeting on the back of two straight wins. The hosts are in good form too: six wins in their last seven games have brought them closer to the Western Conference’s top three. Both teams have recently beaten opponents from Cherepovets and Minsk, but they did so in very different ways.
Red Star Kunlun have already upset HC Dynamo Moscow
📊 The teams’ first meeting of the season took place on 7 October and brought another setback for HC Dynamo Moscow. The Muscovites suffered their fifth straight defeat, losing 3-2 at home to Red Star Kunlun. Nate Sucese, Givani Smith and Dmitrij Jaskin scored for the visitors, while Pavel Shen and Nick Merkley found the net for the hosts. HC Dynamo Moscow now have a chance to avenge that defeat in St Petersburg, where Red Star Kunlun have won six of their last seven games.
Head-to-head statistics Shanghai Dragons - Dynamo
Red Star Kunlun win, but not without mistakes
Red Star Kunlun have dropped just two points since 19 October, though their defence has given Mitch Love the occasional scare. They have conceded ten goals in their last four games, with the second period proving particularly troublesome: in three of those matches, opponents scored twice within three and a half minutes. Their attack has helped make up for those lapses, but they will have to manage without the injured Sam Petan and Martin Frk in the coming games, while Williams’ availability remains uncertain.
The hosts had to withstand sustained pressure against Severstal. The visitors from Cherepovets outshot Red Star Kunlun 35-23, and even appeared to take the lead in the first period, only for the goal to be overturned after a video review. Dmitrij Jaskin scored from close range in the second period, then put his side back in front on the power play after the break. Mikhail Kotlyarevsky made it 3-1 late on. Pavel Khomchenko conceded just once despite Severstal creating chances throughout.

HC Dynamo Moscow rediscover their winning ways
Not long ago, fans were calling for a change behind the bench, but Leonid Tambiev has answered with two straight wins. HC Dynamo Moscow first beat Amur 2-1, then swept aside Dinamo Minsk 4-0. Their special teams have been particularly impressive: opponents went 0-for-10 on the power play across those two games, while HC Dynamo Moscow scored three shorthanded goals. Injuries remain a concern, though. Merkley, Rimashevsky, Sergeyev and Tertyshny are all sidelined, while Jordan Weal is missing games for personal reasons.
In Minsk, goaltender Maxim Motorygin stole the show with a 35-save shutout. Nikita Korostelyov gave HC Dynamo Moscow the lead late in the first period, and they held on to their one-goal advantage until Artyom Shvets-Rogovoy converted a breakaway in the 50th minute. The hosts pulled their goaltender late on, but it only made matters worse. Igor Ozhiganov and Luca Profaca each scored into the empty net, both while HC Dynamo Moscow were shorthanded. It was Profaca’s first goal for the Moscow club.
Match Results: Dynamo Moscow
First-period prediction
Fewer than 1.5 goals have been scored in the first period in six of Red Star Kunlun’s last seven home games. Red Star Kunlun have averaged 0.17 first-period goals in their recent home games, while HC Dynamo Moscow have averaged 0.2 in their recent away games. Our pick is under 1.5 first-period goals at odds of 1.67.
Match result prediction
Red Star Kunlun have avoided defeat in regulation in seven of their last eight KHL games. That said, they have failed to win in regulation in 14 of their last 15 home head-to-head meetings - a notable counterargument, though those results include draws. Our pick is Red Star Kunlun to avoid defeat in regulation at odds of 1.49.
Total goals prediction
HC Dynamo Moscow’s last six games have all finished with fewer than 4.5 goals. In their recent away games, the Moscow side have scored 2.2 goals per game and conceded 1.8. However, Red Star Kunlun have conceded an average of 3.17 goals in their recent home games, so the under is far from a certainty. We’re backing under 4.5 total goals at odds of 2.1.
Safer bet
Red Star Kunlun have covered the +1.5 puck handicap in seven of their last eight KHL games. We’re backing Red Star Kunlun +1.5 goals at odds of 1.24.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐️ Editor’s prediction
HC Dynamo Moscow’s recent results might give some pause to anyone backing a high-scoring game. The Moscow side have won twice in a row while conceding just one goal, and they kept a clean sheet in Minsk. Red Star Kunlun, though, have been involved in a different kind of contest. They have won six of their last seven games but conceded ten goals across their last four. Three of those four games have featured more than 4.5 goals, as have eight of the teams’ previous ten head-to-head meetings. My pick is over 4.5 goals.
