“Colorado” – “Edmonton”: forecast for the NHL match
Colorado will meet Edmonton on December 1 at home. The matches between these teams are usually spectacular and never boring. The clubs are used to open hockey and are not afraid to play against each other on opposite courses. They have not met yet this season, so it will be interesting to watch how the fight unfolds. What is the best bet on the upcoming confrontation? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado has been showing inconsistent results throughout the season, which is why it is only in seventh place in the Western Conference, and not among the leaders. The Avalanche have also been alternating successful matches with defeats lately and could not get into a long successful streak. Thus, on the road they effectively beat Florida (7:4), then lost heavily to Tampa (2:8), and upon returning to their home ice they dealt with Vegas with a score of 2:1 in a shootout. However, in the final away match the Avalanche again failed to cope with Dallas (3:5) and lost two points.
The club schedule is currently very difficult, as they have to alternate home games with away matches, which, of course, makes it almost impossible to achieve stability in results. It is noteworthy that they have only won four victories within 60 minutes at their home stadium this season, and on average, no less than four pucks have ended up in their net.
Yes, Jared Bednar team remains one of the most conceding clubs in the conference, so it is not surprising that he always tries to play on the counter-courses and seek happiness in counterattacks. But in attack, Colorado is incredibly strong, and Makar, MacKinnon and Rantanen have already earned three more than 100 points in the goal + assist system, and each of the forwards is currently among the top ten scorers in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Colton, Drouin, Landeskog and Wood will be out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado has a 31-23 lead in goals scored and goals allowed in the second period.
The Avalanche are having the best second period of all time compared to the rest of the 20 minutes.
- On average, Colorado receives 7.25 minutes of penalty time.
The Avalanche typically get sent off at least four times per game.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton is next to its rival in the standings and has the same number of points. The team demonstrates approximately the same results, but at the same time does not have long winning streaks. As a rule, points are hard to come by, especially when it plays away. However, after an unsuccessful home game against Minnesota (3:5), the Oilers proved their superiority over the Rangers (6:2), and already on the road, not without problems, but still dealt with Utah with a score of 4:3 in overtime.
In the last meeting, Chris Knobloch team could have been left without a single point, since they failed the opening twenty minutes and were losing 0:2, but thanks to excellent dedication and two realized attempts from the majority, they were able to return to the fight and achieved success in overtime.
Once again, the Oilers had a successful second period, in which they usually have a good difference in goals scored and allowed. However, the team continues to “limp” on the power play, as they currently have an 18.2% conversion rate on the power play. Nevertheless, against opponents like Utah, they usually manage to score in the 5-on-4 format. Also surprising is the fact that Edmonton has played better on away ice this year than on home ice, and has only allowed itself to be beaten within 60 minutes three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hyman, Arvidsson and Kane will not take part in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting trends for betting
- Edmonton has a 71.4% power play neutralization rate
The Oilers have risen from the last place in this indicator, but still remain one of the worst clubs
- The Oilers are getting 6.91 penalty minutes.
Edmonton averages at least three to four penalties per game
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
1.70Bet 3rd period: home team win
In three out of five meetings, the hosts achieved success in the third period
2.45Tip and bets
We think that it is almost impossible to single out a clear favorite in this matchup, since the teams are approximately equal in level. However, the home court factor usually plays a big role in such matches. Colorado plays very well in front of its fans and rarely loses in regulation time. Plus, the Avalanche have finished all their recent home matches against the Oilers in their favor, albeit outside regulation time. We think that this time it makes sense to bet on their success.
Prediction - Colorado win with handicap (0) for 1.80
Bet on individual total
In most cases, Colorado shows decent efficiency and opens up the opponents' defense at least three times. Edmonton, on the other hand, constantly acts on counter-courses, so even in the last confrontation with Utah, they conceded three times in regulation time. The Avalanche have a powerful attack line, and three forwards on their roster are among the top ten scorers in the league, so they should easily open up the opponent defense more than twice.
We bet on the individual total of "Colorado" over 2.5 goals for 1.50
Total Bet
Matches between the teams are usually spectacular and take place on sharp counterattacks. Many of them end with seven or more goals scored. Edmonton also finished the last three out of four matches with a total greater, and Colorado also played very effectively in the previous matches. It is quite possible that in the upcoming confrontation the teams will not be shy of each other and will decide to play in an open manner.
We take the total over 6.5 pucks for 2.10
