Winnipeg will host Detroit on January 5 at home. The Jets interrupted their long winning streak with two defeats, so we can say that they have lost their form a little. The Red Wings, on the contrary, have gained great momentum and celebrated success in three games in a row. However, the last meeting between the clubs ended in favor of the Jets with a score of 6:2. Is it worth betting on the success of the formal favorite this time? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg is currently the leader of the Western Conference and has 56 points. Throughout the season, the team has demonstrated fairly stable results and, as a rule, does without major losing streaks. Not long ago, it itself gave out four victories. True, after victories over Ottawa (4:2) and Nashville (3:0), the Jets lost to Colorado (2:5) on the road, and then unexpectedly lost to Anaheim on their home court with a score of 3:4 in overtime.
It is worth mentioning that Scott Arniel team still remains the most productive club in its conference and has scored 145 goals in total. On average, the club scores at least three to four goals on its home ice and is used to delighting fans with a bright attacking game. The team main scorers are Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, who earned 52 and 45 points in the goal + pass system, respectively.
Such good results would definitely not have been possible without a great game in the majority. "Air Army", in fact, makes great use of the numerical advantage and currently has a 32% conversion rate, occupying a leading position in the league in this indicator. Incidentally, Winnipeg achieves most of its victories on its home court and more often achieves victories within 60 minutes than on the road.

Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit is in 13th place in the Eastern Conference. The team is not doing as well as its opponent, but it can still compete for a playoff spot, as it is only four points behind eighth place and is trying to show good results now. For the first time in a long time, it was able to put together a series of three victories. As a rule, it usually limits itself to one or two victories in a row, or alternates successful matches with losses.
However, before that, after a failure in the confrontation with Toronto (2:5), the “wings” pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over Washington (4:2) and Pittsburgh (4:2) on their ice, and already on the road in an equal fight they dealt with Columbus with a score of 5:4. At the same time, in all cases, the “red wings” demonstrated a bright game in attack and distinguished themselves by no less than four goals, although before that they had difficulties with creating and realizing moments.
Let us emphasize that the most disastrous performance of Derek Lalonde team can be called the second game segment, in which it has a ratio of 26:40 in goals scored and goals conceded, but at the same time it plays the third twenty minutes at a good level and often scores goals in it. By the way, in the majority the club plays not much worse than its counterpart, since today it has a 25.2% conversion rate of extra man power.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeff Petrie will be out of the upcoming match due to injury

Trends

In four out of five matches involving the home team, the first period was unscoring
1.85Bet 3rd period: away team win
In three out of four matches, the visitors achieved success in the third period
3.35Tip and bets
Detroit, in our opinion, has a good chance of success in this confrontation. The Wings have played well in recent matches and finished them in their favor within 60 minutes, while Winnipeg has lost two games in a row. Of course, previous face-to-face meetings often ended in favor of the home team, but then the Wings were in a completely different form. Considering the current results of the clubs, we do not expect a big victory from the Air Army.
Forecast - Detroit win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals for 1.65
Bet on individual total
Detroit has been quite productive lately and has opened up many opponents' defenses at least three or four times. Winnipeg even missed three times in regulation time in the last encounter with Anaheim. If the visitors continue to act in the same way as before, and also make good use of the numerical advantage, they will cope with the Jets' defense at least three times.
We bet on Detroit individual total over 2.5 goals for 2.10
Total Bet
The matches between the clubs are quite spectacular and often take place with six or more goals scored. It is worth remembering that Scott Arniel team remains the most productive in the West and continues to score a lot. Detroit, in turn, also held previous meetings with a considerable number of goals and, for example, finished the last four matches with a total greater. Considering that four out of five meetings between the Jets and Red Wings also ended with six or more goals, we offer the following bet.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks for 1.85
