Vegas vs. Florida: NHL Match Prediction
On January 27, we are expecting a very interesting match in the NHL championship, in which Vegas will sort things out with Florida. The Knights are currently far from their optimal condition and have previously shown rather weak results, while the Panthers, on the contrary, have greatly improved. Previous matches between the clubs were fought and turned out to be quite spectacular, but at the same time often ended in favor of the guests. What is the best bet on the upcoming event? You can find out about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas is among the leaders of the Western Conference and is currently in third place in the standings. The team is unlikely to improve its position if it continues to show the same results as recently. Of course, it cannot find itself outside the playoff zone in the near future, but it will not be a contender for first place either. Note that the club has lost five out of six previous meetings.
The Knights had previously lost to Chicago on the road (3:5), and at home to St. Louis (4:5 B). After that, they pulled themselves together and beat the Blues on the road with a score of 4:2, but in the next match with Dallas they again lost with a score of 3:4. At the same time, in most cases, Bruce Cassidy team demonstrated poor play in defense and allowed their opponents to score at least three or four times. In the last match with the Sheriffs, for example, he failed the second game period, in which he missed three times.
By the way, it is the second period that is the worst in the Golden Knights' performance, since they often play even the third twenty minutes at a high level and have a 69:37 ratio of goals scored and missed. By the way, Vegas looks much more powerful on the home court than on the road, and up to this point has already managed to win 17 victories within 60 minutes. We also emphasize that the team continues to use the numerical advantage well and has a 28.5% conversion rate, ranking third in the league in this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Karlsson, Lehner and Schwindt will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vegas averages 5.33 penalty minutes per game.
The Knights have shown good discipline this season and have been sent off no more than two or three times per game.
- Statistically, Vegas takes 30 shots on goal
The Golden Knights are a high-shooting team and usually threaten the opponent goal from any position.
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida did not start this season very successfully, but gradually tried to progress. Today the team has reached the fifth line of the Eastern Conference, so it can feel completely comfortable. Note that it is literally three points away from the second position in the tournament table, so even a short winning streak may be enough for it to end up in second place.
The Panthers have certainly looked better than their counterparts lately, and have won three of their previous four games. Let us recall that Paul Maurice team beat Anaheim twice (3:0 and 5:2), and after an unsuccessful game against Los Angeles (1:2), they proved their superiority on the road against San Jose with a score of 7:2, without encountering any resistance from the Sharks. In that game against the Sharks, Florida played an incredible second period, scoring four unanswered goals, and, of course, subsequently brought the matter to a victorious end without any difficulties.
It is worth mentioning that the club is currently one of the most productive in its conference, and also makes good use of the numerical advantage, having 24.7% of the extra man conversion rate. Incidentally, Florida has demonstrated powerful results on the road this season and has already managed to win 14 victories in regulation time. It is accustomed to hockey on opposite courses, so most of the matches with its participation are spectacular and end with six or more goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jonah Gadjovich will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Florida has a 57-53 goal-to-goal ratio in the second period.
The Panthers are productive in the second twenty minutes and often achieve success in it
- Florida averages 9.98 penalty minutes
The team is not known for its good discipline and is usually sent off at least five times per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving visitors, the first period was productive
1.85Bet 2nd period: Florida win
In three out of four matches, the visitors achieved victory in the second period
2.65Tip and bets
Florida can cause serious problems for Vegas in the upcoming match and can very well claim two points. The Panthers have looked much better than their counterparts recently and have demonstrated a more meaningful game. In addition, the Panthers have ended many previous meetings with the Knights, including this season, in their favor. Bruce Cassidy team has not yet been able to pull itself together and find the game that has brought them results. Maurice team, by the way, plays better on the road than on home ice, so we suggest betting on its success.
Prediction - Florida win with handicap (0) for 2.07
Bet on individual total
Florida shows good results in matches with many opponents and is distinguished by active play in the opponent zone. The Panthers usually score at least three or four goals on the road, and Vegas has missed at least three or four goals in most previous meetings. In addition, the guests make great use of their chances to score in 5x4 and 5x3 formats and have a high percentage of extra goals, so we suggest betting on their total.
We take Florida individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.75
Total Bet
The matches involving the home team are often spectacular and have at least six goals scored. Vegas often neglects the game in defense and tries to score as much as possible. Florida, by the way, also tries to play more on the counter courses and misses a lot. In addition, both clubs have skilled forwards who are great at taking advantage of the moments. Based on this, we expect to see at least six goals in this matchup.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.80
