Anaheim vs. Seattle: NHL Match Prediction
On November 26, Anaheim will continue to play at home, where they will meet Seattle this time. Both teams have shown inconsistent results this season and have difficulty earning points, which adds even more interest to the upcoming match. Our experts have prepared a forecast in which they will tell you about the clubs’ latest matches and also help you decide on bets
Command Analysis
Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
It seemed that Anaheim had finally come to its senses after another slump, as it began to earn points consistently, however, this did not last long. The Ducks successfully completed the home series, defeating Detroit with a score of 6:4. The club attack line showed a great game, which happens very rarely. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Then the team went to play on the road, where, to the great surprise of many, they secured the result, beating the clear favorite in the person of Dallas (4:2). Goalkeeper Dostal made a huge contribution to the victory, reflecting 94% of the shots. Forward Leeson also distinguished himself, giving two assists and also scoring a goal. The Ducks were able to earn their third victory in a row away from Chicago, snatching a victory with a difference of one goal (3:2).
Returning to the home arena, the club met with a far from serious opponent in the person of Buffalo and suffered a defeat in overtime (2:3), thus interrupting the series of successful results. Once again, Anaheim had serious problems both with creating and with implementing moments in attack, which throughout the regular championship does not allow the team to earn points consistently. It is for this reason that Cronin charges cannot even come close to the playoff zone and are currently only in 11th place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Another reason for Anaheim poor play this season is the big problems with the roster. At the moment, four players are in the infirmary: Fabbri, Fowler, MacTavish and Susanek. McGinn and Vaakanainen are also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Anaheim scores 2.5 goals per game.
The Ducks continue to have serious problems with offensive production, and the club remains one of the worst in the league in this metric.
- The Ducks converted just 15% of their power play attempts.
Poor defensive play does not even allow the team to capitalize on its numerical superiority.
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle had a long home series of six games, which ultimately turned out to be very successful. The team suffered only one defeat from the clear favorite, the Rangers, losing dry (0:2). The meeting was generally equal, but the opponent was a little more lucky with the implementation of moments in the attack. But before that, the team did not experience such problems and consistently scored at least three goals per match, thanks to which they were even able to beat Vegas (4:3 OT), and also crushed Columbus with a score of 5:2. The Krakens quickly rehabilitated themselves for the lost points and beat their opponent dry (3:0) in the match with Nashville. It is impossible not to note the efforts of goalkeeper Daccord, who reflected all the shots, thereby making the fourth "dry" in his career.
Then Bylsma charges went to visit Los Angeles, where they again had problems both creating and converting moments in attack, which led to a defeat with a difference of only one goal (1:2). In total, they managed to make 20 shots on goal, which, of course, was not enough. Nevertheless, thanks to a successful home series and a large number of points scored, the club was able to get closer to the playoff zone, rising to tenth place in the Western Conference standings, having 21 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Forward Eberle and defenseman Dunn remain in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle averages 2.8 goals per game
One of the club main problems throughout the season was its low attacking performance, which prevented it from creating decent competition for the league best teams.
- On average, the Krakens receive 7.3 penalty minutes per match.
But the team has good discipline, which allows it to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.
Trends
Bet First Goal: Seattle
Seattle has opened the scoring in five straight head-to-head games
1.82Goal in each period bet – no
In three head-to-head matches in a row, the teams failed to score a goal in each period
2.39Tip and bets
Seattle is the favorite in the upcoming match, for several reasons. Firstly, the team looks better than Anaheim this season and earns points much more often. Secondly, the Krakens are in optimal shape, and the offensive defeat to Los Angeles should not greatly affect the morale of the club. It is also worth noting that home walls do not always help the Ducks achieve success. We believe that Bylsma charges will be able to take advantage of their superiority and achieve success in the away match. Still, for additional insurance, we suggest taking a victory for the guests with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is a Seattle victory with a handicap of (0) at 1.75
Bet on total
Both teams have had serious problems this season both creating and converting attacking chances. It is also worth noting the head-to-head meetings, in which the teams rarely show their attacking potential to the fullest extent. It is hard to believe that the clubs will be able to score a large number of goals, which means we are betting the opposite.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 2.01
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Both teams show good play in the first period and consistently impose a decent fight on their competitors in the starting segment, not allowing them to gain an advantage at the end of it.
Prediction: draw in the first period for 2.56
