Colorado - Edmonton: betting tip for the NHL match
On January 17, we are expecting an interesting match in the NHL, in which Colorado will fight with Edmonton for two points. The Avalanche are not in the best shape for this confrontation, and the Oilers, on the contrary, are on a long winning streak and are certainly ready to get another victory. By the way, Nobloch team left the last meeting against the Avalanche with a score of 4:1. Is it worth betting on his success this time? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado is currently in sixth place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 55 points. The team is trying to avoid long losing streaks this season and often pleases its fans with positive results. However, it hasn't been able to get on a winning streak lately and has been alternating successful matches with defeats. Perhaps home ice will help it recover, since they will play the next four matches with the support of home stands.
Let us recall that earlier the Avalanche lost on the road to Chicago (1:3), beat Minnesota (6:1), and after a dry defeat to Winnipeg (0:3) they returned to their home, where, not without problems, but still dealt with the Rangers with a score of 3:2 in overtime. In the confrontation with the cops, the Avalanche fought to the end. Although they did not succeed in everything in the attack, they were able to put the squeeze on their opponent and played back literally a minute before the final siren, and in extra time Devon Toews put a fat point.
Oddly enough, Jared Bednar team has seen its scoring rate drop recently, although on average it breaks down opponents' defenses at least three or four times. If it also works on its power play, it will score much more. At the moment, the club ranks 17th in the league in this indicator and has only a 21.2% power play conversion rate.
Disqualifications and injuries
Landeskog, Chulington, Poolman, Wood, Nichushkin and Girard will not be able to help their team in the upcoming confrontation
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado has a 35-52 lead in first-period goals scored and allowed.
The Avalanche often have a poor start to the game and take a long time to find their rhythm
- According to statistics, the Avalanche take 30 shots on goal
On average, Bednar team threatens the opponent goal at least 30 times and spends a lot of time in the opponent zone
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton couldn't boast of great results at the start of the season and experienced many difficulties. The current Stanley Cup finalist couldn't pull themselves together, but gradually tried to improve their game. The team was even outside the playoff zone at some point, but now those sad times are behind them, and they have already reached the third position in the Western Conference, while now they are literally four points behind the leader.
Let us recall that the Oilers celebrated success in seven of the previous eight meetings. They only lost in the match with Pittsburgh (3:5), after which they again showed a series of three victories. On the road, Chris Knobloch team dealt with Chicago (4:3), and after a difficult home victory over Los Angeles (1:0), they again went to visit Minnesota and celebrated success with a score of 5:3. The match with the Wild the day before turned out to be very difficult for the Oilers, since they were losing by two goals during it, but they played a killer end of the first and the start of the third game periods, thanks to which they dealt with the opponent in regular time. By the way, that game was not without a double by Connor McDavid.
Overall, the club demonstrates a great game even on the road and often achieves victory within 60 minutes, and on average sends at least three or four pucks into the opponent net. Unlike Colorado, the team has a complete order with the game in 5x3 and 5x4 formats, and it ranks eighth in the league in this indicator, with exactly 25% of implementation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Evander Kane will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight due to injury
Interesting trends for betting
- Edmonton has a 61-34 goal-against ratio in the second period.
The oilmen perform at a high level in the second twenty minutes and often take it over
- Edmonton wins 53.1% of faceoffs
In this regard, the team is one of the best in the league at the moment.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the teams, the first period was productive
1.77Bet 3rd period: away team win
In three out of four games against Colorado, the visitors kept the third period for themselves
2.80Tip and bets
In our opinion, Edmonton is currently in no way inferior to its opponent and has every chance to earn a couple of points in the upcoming match. The only thing that can hinder the Oilers is that this match will be their second in two days, but similar series have already happened to the Oilers this season, and they acted in the return meeting as actively as in the previous one. Plus, many previous games between the clubs ended in favor of the Oilers, so we would definitely not consider them underdogs. We think that it is worth betting on the victory of the guests for such a coefficient.
Prediction - Edmonton win with handicap (0) for 2.15
Bet on individual total
Edmonton has been showing great performance throughout the season and often scores at least three or four goals, even when playing away. Colorado, in turn, has often conceded three times in previous matches. In addition, the clubs already met last month, and then Knobloch team was able to score four goals against the Avalanche. Based on this, it makes sense to take his individual total.
We take Edmonton individual total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Total Bet
In a confrontation between such teams, one would expect a bright game with a considerable number of goals scored. The teams have a powerful attack line and make great use of their moments. Plus, they know each other weaknesses in defense and will certainly try to exploit these vulnerabilities. It is quite possible that in this confrontation we will witness no less than six goals.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.65
