“Nashville” – “Edmonton”: forecast for the NHL match
On November 1, Nashville will settle the score with Edmonton on home ice. Not long ago, the Predators had an excellent winning streak, but lost in the last match. The Oilers continue to show an unstable game and alternate victories with defeats. However, many previous matches between the clubs ended with a confident victory for the guests. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
Nashville had a disastrous start to the season and began it with a series of five defeats in a row. Because of this, the team is currently in 14th place in the Western Conference and has only seven points. Fortunately, after a long series of failures, it finally pulled itself together and achieved success in three games in a row. Let us recall that it managed to beat Boston (4:0), Chicago (3:2), and also deal with Columbus (4:3 OT). However, in the last confrontation with Tampa, despite all efforts, the Predators still lost with a score of 2:3 in overtime and were unable to open the defense of their opponent more than twice, although they made a total of 37 shots in that game.
However, compared to the beginning of the season, the Predators have started to demonstrate a more reliable game in defense and significantly less often concede more than one or two goals. At the same time, Andrew Brunette team itself shows good results. By the way, there are currently no clear leaders in the team who would have a huge number of points in the goal + pass system, since the three are balanced in such a way that any of them can create dangerous moments at the opponent goal on a regular basis. It is also impossible not to mention that the club remains the best in the league in playing in the minority and currently has 93.1% of neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Nashville scores at least three goals on home ice
The Predators, with the support of the stands, are not afraid to go on the attack and make good use of their moments
- Nashville averages 35 shots per game
The Predators are one of the league most prolific shooting teams.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
The season started off terribly for Edmonton, and they just couldn't pull themselves together and start showing good results. However, the team is still in 13th place in the Western Conference, and if they don't improve in the near future, they may end up in last place. So far, they haven't managed to win more than two victories in a row. Now the Oilers are very far from their optimal form - the one in which they reached the Stanley Cup final last year. Nevertheless, they have celebrated success in the last two out of three meetings. Thus, the Oilers dealt with Pittsburgh at home (4:0) and beat Detroit on the road (3:2 OT), but in the final match against Columbus, they unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:6, although they were considered the favorites of that confrontation.
Chris Knobloch team has had some serious defensive lapses from time to time, allowing an average of three to four goals per game. They have not been able to demonstrate their former efficiency, and we have not seen them score more than four goals this season. Also, for their powerful offensive line, Edmonton continues to show a weak game in the 5x4 format and has only a 13.8% power play rate. In addition, Connor McDavid, who is the main figure in this lineup, is out of the lineup.
Disqualifications and injuries
McDavid and Kane will not play in the upcoming match due to injury
Interesting trends for betting
- Edmonton has a 62.1% power play neutralization rate
The club currently ranks last in the league in terms of short-handed play
- The Oilers have a 3:10 lead in goals scored and conceded in the first period
The Oilers are very weak in the first twenty minutes and often allow their opponents to take advantage
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
1.77Bet 1st period: home team win
In the previous two matches, Edmonton was losing in the first period
2.65Tip and bets
We think that Nashville has every chance to earn two points in the upcoming match. The Predators have pulled themselves together and have been showing good results lately, and in the last meeting they even gave a worthy rebuff to Tampa. Edmonton was already not doing well and had a huge number of problems, and now they will have to play without Connor McDavid, one of the main leaders. Without him, the probability of winning against the Predators has become much lower, so we suggest betting on the success of the hosts.
Forecast - Nashville victory with a handicap (0) for 1.77
Bet on individual total
In the previous match, Edmonton failed to score more than one goal, although they played against Columbus. In fact, the Oilers spent most of the match without McDavid, so their attacking play completely broke down. The Predators, in turn, improved their defense in previous matches and began to concede much less than before, so it makes sense to bet on the individual total of the Oilers.
We take Edmonton individual total of less than three goals for 1.70
Total Bet
The last meetings between the clubs were distinguished by high efficiency and almost always took place with six or more goals scored. For such teams, playing in attack is not difficult, and they, on the contrary, look for their chances to score on the counter courses. By the way, four out of five matches between them ended with a total over.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.67
