Command Analysis

Nashville Predators

Current form
Nashville is still in the basement of the Western Conference standings, with a modest 17 points. Andrew Brunette charges have already played 22 games in the new season, but now they occupy the 15th place. The Preds had a terrible start to the regular season and it seemed that the situation would begin to change. However, the hosts continue to lose and lose points. In nine previous matches, they have achieved success in only two. In the away series before returning home, Roman Josi team lost to Colorado (2:3, OT), Edmonton (2:3, OT), Calgary (2:0), but unexpectedly beat Vancouver (5:3). This was a one-off splash, because two days later the Predators lost to Seattle (0:3). In a recent home game, the hosts won against Winnipeg (4:1), but a day later they were beaten in Newark (2:5).
The Predators are once again playing poorly on defense. They have conceded 14 times in their last five games, but Juuse Saros remains Nashville number one. The Scandinavian goalie is missing almost every tenth shot on goal. In 18 games, the Finn has only two shutouts and a goals-against average of 2.57. So far, there aren't many questions about him.
The Preds have problems in attack that are not being solved too quickly. Filip Forsberg is the club top scorer. The forward from Sweden has scored 17 points (9+8) in the goal+pass system and is dragging his team up. Other attack leaders continue to remain silent and this greatly affects the club results.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zachary Leriux out vs. Philly, Jeremy Lauzon, Michael McCarron questionable
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Nashville is scoring 2.36 goals this season.
The Predators are poor at converting their chances and often score very few goals.
- Nashville averages 29 shots per game
The Predators have slowed down in terms of shooting activity, but this has not solved the problem with converting chances.

Philadelphia Flyers

Current form
Philadelphia is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and is literally two points behind the playoff zone. This season, the team has had a hard time winning, and recently it has only won once outside of 60 minutes. The Flyers alternate victories and losses, and only recently were able to win two games in a row for the first time this season. John Tortorella men have had a long series of games on their home ice. They started with a victory over Buffalo (5:2), but then lost to Colorado (2:3) and Carolina (1:4). After a strong-willed victory over Chicago (3:2, OT), the Flyers themselves gave up a three-goal advantage to Vegas (3:2, OT). Sean Couturier team was obliged to win, but they failed in defense again.
The visitors continue to have major problems in defense. Samuel Ersson, who started this season as the club starting goalie, remains in the team infirmary. Ivan Fedotov was again unable to help his teammates win, although he had an excellent opportunity to do so in the game against Vegas. The Russian reflected only 86.7% of shots on his possessions and did not help out in the shootout.
Travis Konecny remains Philadelphia leading scorer with 26 points (11+15) in the goal+pass system. We note Matvey Michkov, who is the leader main assistant with 17 points (8+9).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis, Ryan Johansen, Jamie Drysdale and Samuel Ersson will not take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Philadelphia has a 19.2% power play percentage.
The Flyers are averaging one in every five power play attempts.
- Philadelphia averages 27 shots on goal
The Flyers spend a lot of time in their own zone and play on the counterattack, so they take few shots.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In the last three matches between the teams, the first period was not productive
1.95Bet 2nd period: Nashville will score
The Preds have scored against Philadelphia in three straight games.
1.38Tip and bets
It is not for nothing that Nashville is considered such a clear favorite of the match. The team from Tennessee has a more balanced roster and does not have serious problems in the goal line. The Predators score very little, but the visitors also have not pleased with good results at the start of the regular season. Recently, Andrew Brunette charges have been performing well on home ice, but Philadelphia has been playing inconsistently and regularly gives up matches. We believe that the Preds will win this match in regular time. We offer a bet on the victory of the hosts.
Forecast - Nashville win for 1.90
Bet on individual total
Nashville has looked pretty good in recent games on home ice and has scored eight goals in its previous two starts. Philadelphia, on the other hand, still hasn’t solved the problem at the last line and regularly changes goalies. The Flyers will hardly be able to contain an opponent who is very motivated for every game and is eager to get into the playoff zone.
We take Nashville individual total of more than three goals for 1.75
Total Bet
Matches between teams are not always productive. At the same time, each team is currently playing terribly in defense, which gives the attacking line players the opportunity to show their best side. We are waiting for open hockey in Tennessee. Let play a bet on the total over goals.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.78
