Winnipeg - Nashville: betting tip for the NHL match
On January 8, we are expecting an interesting match in the NHL, in which Winnipeg will sort things out with Nashville. The Jets are considered a slight favorite in this confrontation, but have rarely pleased fans with a quality game lately. The Predators, on the contrary, have come off a losing streak and have won two away games before. In addition, the visitors have ended most of their previous meetings with the Air Force in their favor. What is the best bet on this event? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg is one of the leaders of the Western Conference and has 56 points, currently occupying the second line in the standings and lagging behind Vegas by literally one point. Throughout the season, the team has demonstrated fairly stable results and, as a rule, does without large series of failures. Not long ago, it itself gave out four victories. However, after a successful match against Nashville (3:0), the Jets faced a series of failures. They lost to Colorado (2:5), Anaheim (3:4 OT) and Detroit (2:4). At the same time, in all three previous meetings, at least three pucks ended up in their net.
It is worth mentioning that Scott Arniel's team still remains the most scoring club in its conference and has scored 147 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's main scorers are Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, who earned 52 and 46 points in the goal + pass system, respectively.
Such good results would definitely not have been possible without a great game in the majority. Vozdushnaya Armiya uses the numerical advantage very well and currently has a 32% conversion rate, occupying a leading position in the league in this indicator. It is quite possible that in the near future Winnipeg will be able to regain its optimal form and will once again please the home stands, since it has absolutely everything for this.

Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
Nashville was considered one of the main contenders for the Stanley Cup before the start of this season, as it has a fairly strong roster compared to many competitors. However, so far these expectations are completely unfulfilled by the team, which is in the basement of the Western Conference standings and currently occupies 14th place. It will be very difficult for it to get close to the playoff zone, since it is already 11 points away from it.
It should also be noted that throughout the season the Predators have not been able to produce a long winning streak and at best are limited to two victories in a row. Not long ago they lost to Minnesota (3:5), after which, unexpectedly for many, they dealt with Vancouver (3:0) and Calgary (4:1), while in both cases they got away with less than two missed pucks. In general, the Predators have spent a lot of energy during the current series of away matches, but after the match with Winnipeg they will have a long home series.
Let us emphasize that Andrew Brunette's team plays very well in unequal compositions, especially in the minority, where it has 84.7% neutralization and ranks third in the league in this indicator. The second game segment remains the most unsuccessful in Nashville's performance, in which it has a ratio of 31:45 in goals scored and conceded. As a rule, the club does not like to play with far benches, since it constantly lingers in the attack zone and allows dangerous exits to its goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Smith, Wilsby, Lauzon will not be able to take part in the upcoming match
Interesting trends for betting
- Nashville gets 9.25 penalty minutes per game.
Typically, predators are eliminated at least four or five times per game.
- Nashville averages 29 shots on goal
The Predators are known for their good shooting ability, but their execution often suffers.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was unproductive
1.75Bet 3rd period: guests will score
In three of the four games against Winnipeg, the visitors scored in the third period.
1.53Tip and bets
Nashville can cause a lot of trouble for Winnipeg in the upcoming match. The Predators managed to get into good shape during this away series of matches and played the final two games with dignity. Plus, they often finished the previous matches against the Jets in their favor and almost always gave the opponent a worthy rebuff. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that Arniel's team itself is now far from optimal condition and it is no coincidence that it lost three games in a row. We think that the Predators will at least take things to overtime.
Prediction - Nashville not to lose at 1.75
Bet on individual total
Nashville has managed to score fewer than two goals in its last two games, and in its recent encounter with Vancouver, it didn't score at all. Winnipeg, in turn, has had trouble converting its chances lately and has often scored fewer than three goals. Incidentally, the home team hasn't scored four times in any of its previous five games against the Predators.
We bet on Winnipeg's individual total under three goals for 1.60
Total Bet
Matches between the clubs are usually evenly contested and end with a minimum number of goals. The teams carefully monitor their actions in defense and do not take unnecessary risks. Nashville also usually played previous away games with a total under. Given the current state of affairs, Winnipeg will also prefer to play in a more closed style.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks for 2.00
