Edmonton - Seattle: betting tip for the NHL match
Edmonton will meet Seattle on January 28 at home. Bookmakers consider the Oilers to be the favorites in this matchup, which is generally not surprising, since they have demonstrated more powerful results throughout the season, unlike the Kraken, which is not distinguished by stability. The last meeting between the clubs, which took place this month, also ended in favor of the Oilers. What bet should you place on this event? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton has been strong and consistent over the last two months and has improved significantly since the start of the season. The team has already reached third place in the Western Conference and earned a total of 65 points. It should be noted that they have shown their best side recently and have produced a series of two victories, despite the absence of Connor McDavid.
Let us recall that the Oilers, after a difficult victory over Colorado (4:3), lost to Vancouver on the road (2:3), and after a home defeat to Washington (2:3), they finally pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over Vancouver with a score of 6:2. They managed to consolidate their success in the next match with Buffalo, which they dealt with with a score of 3:2 and got away with only two missed goals. Incidentally, that match turned out to be incredibly successful for Nugen-Hopkins, who scored twice, but Draisaitl, oddly enough, remained without scoring.
Overall, Chris Knobloch team is often highly productive and, on average, even on home ice, breaks down the opponent defense at least three or four times. The second period is more powerful than the rest of the periods, and has a 67:37 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. Edmonton also continues to work on its actions in the majority and improves them, thanks to which it already has a 23.9% conversion rate.

Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle cannot boast of stable results this season and is currently outside the playoff zone. The team occupies the 12th place in the Western Conference, so it is far from certain that it will be able to improve its position in the standings in the near future. Over the past month, the Kraken has also not been stable and, as a rule, alternated successful matches with defeats. However, in three previous meetings out of four, it showed its best side and celebrated victory.
At home, the team dealt with Los Angeles (4:2) and Buffalo (6:4), and after a dry defeat from Washington (0:3), they immediately pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over Pittsburgh with a score of 4:1. In most cases, Dan Bylsma team distinguished themselves with a classy game in attack and opened up the opponents' defense at least three or four times. We emphasize that the club often counts on hockey on counter courses, so many matches with its participation turn out to be quite productive.
The team is most successful in the final game period, during which it has a 62:44 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. However, the Kraken is not making the best use of its numerical advantage on the court, as it currently ranks 25th in the league in this indicator and has only an 18.7% conversion rate.
Disqualifications and injuries
Eberle and Stevenson will be out of the upcoming game due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle averages 6.16 penalty minutes per game.
The Kraken is usually removed about three times per game.
- According to statistics, the team makes 26 shots on target
Seattle has shown a rather low shooting activity this season and usually threatens the opponent goal no more than 26 times

1.32Tip and bets
In our opinion, Edmonton should not leave a single chance to their opponent in the upcoming match. The Oilers have been playing well on their home ice throughout the season and usually have no problems dealing with opponents outside the playoff zone. Seattle, especially, is a convenient opponent for them, since the Oilers have ended most of their previous matches in their favor and won in regular time. Also, do not forget that the Kraken itself plays rather poorly on the road. Based on this, we take the victory of the favorite.
Prediction - Edmonton win for 1.62
Bet on individual total
Edmonton often shows good results and opens up the opponents' defense at least three or four times. In three previous matches out of five against Seattle, the hosts also did not face the problem of creating and realizing chances and scored at least four times. Considering that Bylsma team plays poorly in defense against such opponents and usually concede at least three or four times on the road, it makes sense to bet on the individual total.
We take Edmonton individual total over 3.5 goals for 1.80
Total Bet
Previous meetings between the teams were quite spectacular and often took place with six or more goals scored. Edmonton is used to playing exclusively on counter-attacks and also makes many mistakes in its own zone. Plus, Connor McDavid has returned to the lineup after disqualification, with whom the Oilers' attack will become much brighter. Seattle prefers counter-attacks, so we expect to see at least six goals in the upcoming confrontation.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals for 1.67
