Colorado vs. Dallas: NHL Match Prediction
On January 18, we are expecting an interesting match in the NHL championship, in which Colorado will sort things out with Dallas on the home court. Recently, the hosts have not been stable and alternated successful matches with defeats, but the stars did the same. The Sheriffs are a very inconvenient opponent for the Avalanche, and previous meetings between the clubs often ended in their favor. What bet should be made on the upcoming event? You can find out about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado currently occupies seventh place in the Western Conference and has 55 points. With a strong desire, the team can improve its position in the standings and get to the playoffs from one of the first lines. It will not be easy to do this, but it has huge potential for growth. The club has temporarily encountered difficulties and began to alternate successful matches with defeats, but it is highly likely that in the near future it will be able to find exactly the game that brought it fruit.
Before that, the Avalanche literally crushed Minnesota on the road (6:1), after which they unexpectedly lost to Winnipeg (0:3), and after a home victory over the Rangers (3:2 OT), they lost to Edmonton on their home court with a score of 3:4. At the same time, in the last confrontation with the Oilers, they had an extremely comfortable advantage, which they organized by the 12th minute, but, strangely enough, they were unable to bring it to a victorious end. Then the Avalanche failed both the second and third game segments, in which they did not score any goals, but in response they conceded three times.
Usually, the most unsuccessful in their performance is the opening period, and they usually play the third twenty minutes at a high level and have a ratio of 64:46 in goals scored and goals conceded. However, this season, Jared Bednar team has been playing poorly on home ice, since they have managed to win only eight victories within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kylington, Landeskog, Nichushkin, Poolman and Wood will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado gets 6.52 penalty minutes per game.
Avalanches are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and are distinguished by good discipline.
- Colorado currently has a 20.9% majority realization rate
According to this indicator, the team occupies 17th position in the championship.
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas has been showing fairly consistent results throughout the season, so no one should be surprised by the fact that it is in the top five of the Western Conference. The team has often pleased fans with victories throughout the month and was even able to produce a series of seven victories. However, after this successful streak, a fairly expected decline followed, in which it alternates victories with losses and cannot start a new series. One cannot help but note the difficult schedule of matches, since before this the club played five games on the road, then returned home, and now is forced to play away again.
The Sheriffs dealt with Montreal (2:1 SO), lost to Ottawa (2:3), and after a victory over Toronto (4:1) unexpectedly lost to the Tricolors at home with a score of 1:3, while notching only one goal. In that confrontation, Peter DeBoer team completely and utterly failed the final twenty minutes, during which they conceded twice in four shots, and did not mark themselves with any effective actions, although they threatened the opponent goal 11 times.
In general, Dallas is used to building its game from defense, so many games with its participation are not particularly spectacular. Today, the team remains one of the fewest in the league to concede goals and even on the road rarely allows the opponent to score three goals. Oddly enough, the second period is the most successful for the stars, in which they have a ratio of 48:36 in goals scored and goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Seguin, Hinz and Marchment will not be able to help their team in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dallas averages 6.45 penalty minutes per game.
Sheriffs are usually removed no more than three times per game.
- According to statistics, the team takes 30 shots per match
Dallas is a high-shooting team and is used to playing first most of the time.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches between the teams, the first period was productive
1.85Bet 3rd period: guests will score
In three of the five games, Dallas scored in the third period.
1.50Tip and bets
Dallas certainly doesn't look weaker than Colorado at the moment, even considering that it is not in its best form. The Stars cause problems for many opponents on the road and impose a fierce fight on them. The Avalanche, on the other hand, often could not achieve success within the regular time and played mediocre games in most of the games. In addition, the visitors are a very unpleasant and inconvenient opponent for the Avalanche, since Peter DeBoer team ended all four previous matches in their favor. Based on this, it makes sense to bet on its success this time.
Prediction - Dallas win with handicap (0) for 2.20
Bet on individual total
Dallas has a great defensive game and is one of the fewest clubs in the league to concede. The team concede few goals even away from home and usually does not allow opponents to score three times. Colorado, in turn, has recently had difficulty playing in attack and often ended up with fewer than three goals scored. In three previous matches out of four against the Sheriffs, the hosts also scored fewer than three times.
We bet on Colorado individual total under 3.5 goals for 1.60
Total Bet
Dallas tries to play closed hockey and does not risk acting against such opponents on opposite courses. The team pays more attention to defense, so many meetings with its participation are low-scoring. Colorado will probably have to adapt to its opponent. Moreover, three of the previous matches out of four between the teams ended with fewer than seven goals scored. That is why it makes sense to bet on the total under.
We take the total under 6.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.52
