Nashville vs. Colorado: NHL Match Prediction
Nashville began a new home series with a loss to Edmonton. On November 3, the Tennessee team will try to score points in a match against Colorado. The Avalanche won their previous three away games, but failed to finish October in Denver. Both teams have had a poor start to the new season and are in dire need of a win. Who will be able to show better hockey? We tell you in the forecast for the match between these teams
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 15th 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 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.
In early November, the Preds started playing at home and were crushed by Edmonton (1:5) without much chance. It seemed that Andrew Brunette charges had finally started to improve in terms of reliability, but it was only an illusion. The hosts are still playing rather poorly in attack, despite the fact that they make a huge number of shots in absolutely every game. Filip Forsberg remains the leading scorer of the Tennessee club. The Swedish forward scored nine points (5+4) and is trying to pull his teammates up on his shoulders.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mark Jankowski is injured and will not play against Colorado.
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Nashville is scoring 2.4 goals this season.
The Predators are poor at converting their chances and often score very few goals.
- Nashville averages 35 shots per game
The Predators are one of the most shooting teams in the league.
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado remains one of the most unpredictable and unstable teams in the league. The Denver club is only in 12th place in the West with ten points after 11 starts. The visitors are gradually gaining momentum and are approaching the playoff zone, from which Gabriel Landeskog team is only one point away. The season began for the Avalanche with four losses in a row, but then the Avalanche won five times. Jared Bednar charges did not have the best last series on home ice and conceded a lot. First, the Avs won against Ottawa (5:4), but then lost to Chicago (2:5) and Tampa (2:5). Denver defense was more like a sieve, but they do not always manage to score a lot to have a chance to win.
The visiting team does not have a clear understanding of who will be the team starting goalie. Alexander Georgiev had a terrible start to the regular season and in six games he reflected only 82.17% of shots, allowing 4.62 goals per 60 minutes. Justus Annunen looked a little more reliable, but he also only reflected 90.48% of opponents' attacks. The offense is still good, but a large number of injuries could spoil the situation there too. Cale Makar (4+15) and Nathan MacKinnon (5+13) had a great start to the season and are now among the top ten scorers in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ross Colton, Jonathan Drouin, Gabi Landeskog, Artturi Lehkonen and Miles Wood are all injured, while Valeri Nichushkin and Matt Steenburg are serving suspensions.
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado has a 73.3% power play neutralization rate.
The club currently ranks among the last in the league in terms of short-handed play
- The Avalanche are 13-18 in goals scored and allowed in the first period.
The Avalanche 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
1.68Bet 1st period: home team win
In the previous two matches, Colorado was losing in the first period
2.55Tip and bets
We believe that Nashville will once again throw in large quantities, but will have big problems in terms of implementation. Colorado misses a lot in absolutely every match, but sometimes saves thanks to an excellent game in front. The Avalanche look more powerful in attack and are able to outshoot the opponent, who does not use their chances. We do not think that the goalies of the visitors will play so badly again that Gabi Landeskog team will not have a chance to win in Tennessee. We think that the Preds are quite convenient for the visitors in terms of their style of play. We suggest betting on the victory of the second team with a zero handicap.
Prediction - Colorado win with handicap (0) for 2.15
Bet on individual total
Colorado offense has been working like clockwork for several seasons now. It no wonder that two Avalanche players are in the top ten scorers in the league. Nashville defense can hardly be called reliable, since the hosts let in 3.6 goals per game on average. We believe that the Avalanche leaders will once again show their best side and easily score at least three times against the Preds.
We take the individual total of "Colorado" more than 2.5 goals for 1.67
Total Bet
The last matches between the teams have been extremely productive. For four games in a row, at least six goals have been scored in this pair. Both teams are not the best in defense and it is unlikely that the match will be closed. We believe that the optimal bet on this meeting will be a bet on the total over goals scored. Now a very pleasant coefficient is offered for this outcome.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.60
