Seattle —Detroit: NHL match forecast
As part of the NHL championship, a duel between Seattle and Detroit will take place on February 5, for which we will try to provide an accurate forecast. The hosts are currently far from optimal condition and are showing rather mediocre results, while Krylia continues to delight their fans with excellent hockey and are on an amazing winning streak. The last match between the clubs also ended in favor of the Red Wings. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will learn more about this later
Command Analysis
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle has absolutely failed to please fans with consistent results this season, so it's no surprise that it's currently outside the playoff zone. The team is in 13th place in the Western Conference and it is far from certain that in the near future it will be able to seriously improve its position in the table and move closer to the playoff zone. As a rule, lately she has either alternated successful fights with failures, or been on a losing streak. So, in three of the previous four meetings, Seattle was inferior.
Dan Bylsma's squad lost to Edmonton (2:4) and Anaheim (2:6) after a fairly confident victory over Pittsburgh (4:1). Fortunately, in the confrontation with San Jose on her ice, she did not lose face in the dirt and proved her superiority over the outsider with a score of 6:2. However, in the final meeting with Calgary, being the favorite, the club lost in a stubborn struggle (2:3), again scoring only two goals scored. By the way, in that match, Seattle completely failed the opening game segment, during which it missed three times, and only after that joined the fight.
It should be noted that the team usually performs the most successfully in the final game period, during which it has a 65:47 ratio of dropped and missed goals. However, Kraken does not enjoy its numerical advantage on the court in the best way, as it currently ranks 24th in the league in this indicator and has only 18.7% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Eberle, Gourde and Evans will not be able to play in the upcoming clash due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Seattle gets an average of 6.24 minutes of penalty time per game.
The Kraken is usually removed about three times per game and is well disciplined.
- According to statistics, the team makes 26 shots on target
Seattle has shown a fairly low shooting activity this season and usually threatens the opponent's goal no more than 26 times.
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit is probably having one of its best seasons in recent years. The team has a real chance of making the playoffs this year and has a strong squad. At the moment, it is in the seventh position of the Eastern Conference and continues to gradually improve its position in the standings. We emphasize that it is literally one point away from sixth place, so if the club continues to show the same results, it will certainly be able to gain a foothold in it.
Todd McLellan's squad has been undefeated for almost two weeks and is currently in a series of six victories. She had previously proved her superiority over Los Angeles (5:2) on her ice, and then she dealt with Edmonton (3:2B), Calgary (3:1) on the road, and in a tense match she dealt with Vancouver with a score of 3:2 in overtime.. At the same time, in all cases, Detroit was distinguished by a reliable defensive game and remained with no more than two missed goals.
However, it should be said that Krylia is still not performing as well on foreign venues this season as they do on their own ice, since up to this point they have managed to win only eight victories within 60 minutes. As a rule, the Red Wings add a lot to their movement in the final stretch of the game, which is why they often succeed in it and have a 54:49 ratio of goals scored and missed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ty Compfer and Petrie will not be able to help their team in the upcoming confrontation.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit gets an average of 5.85 minutes of penalty time per game.
According to statistics, Krylia are eliminated at least three times per game and have no problems with discipline.
- Detroit has 27.1% of the majority sales and enjoys a great numerical advantage.
At the moment, the team ranks fourth in the league in this indicator.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In four out of five meetings, the guests kept the second leg for themselves.
2.75Tip and bets
We think that in this confrontation it makes sense to bet on the success of the guests. Detroit is in great condition and is holding the current away series of matches without a single defeat. Of course, the victories were difficult for the guests, but the level of the opponents was much higher than that of Seattle. Even on their own ice, Kraken often cannot cope with teams in the playoff zone. Plus, the clubs had already met a little less than a month ago, and then McLellan's team did not feel any resistance from their counterpart and proved their superiority with a score of 6:2.
Prediction - Detroit wins with a handicap (0) in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
Detroit was notable for its reliable defensive play in previous matches and remained with less than three goals conceded. Seattle, in turn, often faces problems with creating and implementing chances and cannot open the opponents' defense three times. "Kraken" is having a hard time scoring goals this season, and the hosts are using their numerical advantage rather mediocre, so we suggest betting on their individual total.
We're betting on Seattle's individual total of less than three goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
Previous matches between the clubs were productive and, as a rule, ended with at least six goals scored. Throughout the history of the team, they played each other seven times, and all the matches were spectacular. Detroit uses its chances well and scores a lot, even when playing away. Seattle will have to adjust to the opponent, but it is unlikely that he will score more than twice. We expect to see a 2:4 or 2:5 score in favor of the guests in this confrontation.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.85
