Vancouver vs Colorado: NHL match forecast
On February 5, there will be a meeting between Vancouver and Colorado. Canadians can't seem to find stability, but things are not going well for the Avalanches either, and they have often faced setbacks lately. In addition, the last match between the clubs, held in December, ended in favor of the home team, so the Avalanche will certainly make every effort to take revenge. Will they be able to do it? What is the best bet? Look for answers to these questions in our forecast
Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver remains one of the most unstable clubs in the league and usually cannot produce a long winning streak, but it is also not ready to concede in every match. The team is not one of the leaders of the Western Conference this season, but is only fighting to get into the playoff zone. At the moment, she is on the ninth line of the standings and is just a couple of points behind the eighth position. It will be very difficult for the "Killer whales" to significantly improve their position if they continue to perform in the same spirit.
The Canadians had previously played very poorly against Edmonton (2-6), but after this defeat they were able to pull themselves together and gave an excellent series of three victories. First, they dealt with Washington (2:1) on their ice, and then they confidently beat St. Louis (5:2) on the road and proved their superiority over Nashville with a score of 3:1. Note that this was followed by an unsuccessful duel against Dallas (1:3), and in the final confrontation on their ice, they lost to Detroit with a score of 2:3 in overtime.
By the way, the Canucks' third period is the most unsuccessful. As a rule, the second half of the game is best for them, which they often reserve for themselves and have 54:43 goals scored and conceded in it, because they know perfectly well how to act with the far benches. Vancouver, however, is showing weak results on its ice, as it had previously managed to score only nine wins within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lekkerimaki and Hughes will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Vancouver gets an average of 9.5 minutes of penalty time per match.
The "killer whales" are removed about five times per game and show poor discipline.
- According to statistics, Vancouver makes 25 shots on target.
Canadians usually show low throwing activity and act primarily as the second number
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado is not one of the clear leaders of the Western Conference this season, but it is certainly making big plans for this year and plans to fight for the Stanley Cup. The team currently sits on the sixth line of the Western Conference and has earned a total of 64 points, with just five points separating it from the second position. Given the strength of the squad, it may well produce a long winning streak and catch up with the backlog. However, the club has not had really good results lately. Not so long ago, the Avalanches were on a three-game losing streak.
Fortunately, they pulled themselves together after that and celebrated their success in the previous three out of four matches. On the road, the Avalanche defeated the Rangers (5:4), then lost to the Islanders (2:5), and with the support of the home stands, they confidently dealt with both St. Louis (5:0) and Philadelphia (2:0), while at the same time, in both cases, they got off without a single missed puck. Credit should be given to the goalkeeper, Mackenzie Blackwood, who parried more than 20 shots in each of the matches and kept the team in the game.
It should be noted that, as a rule, in the performance of Colorado, the third game segment is the most successful, which it spends at a high level and has a 70:58 ratio of goals scored and missed. Oddly enough, the Avalanche perform better on the road than on their own ice, and up to this point they have already managed to win 15 victories in regular time, while at home they have scored only 11 victories within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pullman, Landeskug, Nichushkin and Wedgwood will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado gets 6.11 minutes of penalty time per match
The Avalanches are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and are well disciplined.
- Colorado currently has 21.4% of the majority sales
According to this indicator, the team ranks 17th in the league.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.88The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the guests
In three out of four meetings against the hosts, Colorado kept the third segment for itself.
2.40Tip and bets
"Colorado" is in good condition at the moment and successfully played two matches the day before. The Avalanches should be better prepared for this confrontation, unlike Vancouver, which has suffered two defeats in a row. Past meetings between the clubs have often ended in favor of the guests, so after losing the last match against the Canucks, the guests should pull themselves together and try to take revenge, especially considering that they outperform their counterpart in class this season. We think it makes sense to bet on the success of the Avalanche.
Forecast - Colorado wins in 2.25
Betting on an individual total
"Colorado" remained without conceding goals in recent matches and finished two matches with a "dry" score. Vancouver demonstrates mediocre performance in duels with similar opponents and usually cannot score more than two goals. The Canucks didn't score three goals in three out of five games against the Avalanche either. Based on this, it makes sense to put on an individual total of the owners.
We take Vancouver's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the total total
It is likely that in the upcoming confrontation we will not see more than five abandoned goals. Vancouver has often played recent matches with the minimum number of goals. Colorado also finished the last two matches with a total less. By the way, the final match between the clubs, which took place in December, ended with only four goals. We think that this fight will be inconclusive.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.15
