You will learn about this from the forecast
Command Analysis
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
Chicago remains one of the main outsiders of the Western Conference and is located in the penultimate position of the standings. The team has not claimed anything for a long time in the current season, so we can say that, by and large, it is finishing it. Plus, she does it completely unsuccessfully and often remains without points. By the way, the club was defeated in the previous five out of six meetings.
On their ice, the Hawks lost to Minnesota (2:4), but then dealt with Tampa on the road (4:1), but that was the end of all the victories. In subsequent meetings, they lost to Carolina (2:3), and also lost to Florida (1:5). It is noteworthy that in the last confrontation with the Panthers, the Blackhawks had a minimal advantage and opened the scoring as early as the eighth second of the opening period, but they did not show more successful actions in the attack zone and spent most of the time defending, allowing the opponent to make 44 shots.
We would like to emphasize that Anders Sorensen's team performs slightly better on the home court than on the road, and has already managed to win nine victories in regular time up to this point. However, the second game period in his performance is still very weak, and it is no coincidence that Chicago has a 39:55 ratio of goals scored and missed. But the Hawks have a complete game in the minority, and they currently have 81.6% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois and Crevier will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Chicago gets an average of 8.4 minutes of penalty time per game.
Usually, the Hawks are not ideally disciplined and are eliminated about four times per game.
- According to statistics, Chicago makes 24 shots on target.
The Blackhawks are forced to play second most of the time and defend, so they rarely threaten the opponent's goal.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton is in the second position of the Western Conference and is trying its best to reach the first place in the standings. In the near future, of course, the Oilers will not be able to catch up with the Jets, but over time they may well reduce the gap to a minimum. It should be noted that in recent meetings they have performed quite well and even pleased the fans with three wins in a row. However, after this successful period, the club lost in two out of three meetings.
The Oilers were able to deal with Buffalo (3:2) on the home arena, and also proved their superiority over Seattle (4:2), however, in the confrontation with Detroit, they unexpectedly lost 2:3 in shootouts. After that, they also failed the match against Toronto, in which they were considered favorites, having failed with a score of 3:4.
We emphasize that often the Nobloch squad is distinguished by a bright offensive game and is used to opening up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times, but it often faces problems in defense itself. Strangely enough, the club usually performs the worst in the opening twenty minutes, in which it has a 45:54 ratio in goals scored and conceded. It is noteworthy that if Edmonton is mediocre in the minority and makes a lot of mistakes, then the club enjoys a great numerical advantage and currently has exactly 24% of the majority.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekholm and Kane will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton has a 71:40 ratio of goals scored and missed in the second period.
The Oilers look strong in the second segment and often succeed in it.
- According to statistics, Edmonton gets 6.6 minutes of penalty time per match.
The Oilers are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and are well disciplined.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the teams, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.80The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In three out of four matches, the hosts lost in the second period.
2.05Tip and bets
Edmonton surpasses its opponent in class and, of course, should easily get two points in the upcoming confrontation. The guests ended most of the previous matches against the hawks in their favor within the regular time and often succeeded with a difference of several goals. Chicago, moreover, is currently in mediocre shape and has played very poorly in recent matches. As a rule, even on a visit, the Oilers achieve victory when they play against obvious outsiders, so it makes sense to take their clean victory this time.
Forecast - Edmonton's victory in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Chicago often has difficulty creating and executing chances in matches against similar opponents. In the last meeting with Florida, the hosts were left with only one goal scored and scored only 24 shots on goal. Edmonton had managed less than three missed goals in the previous three out of five games against the Hawks. Based on this, we are betting on the individual total of the Blackhawks.
We take Chicago's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.65
Bet on the total total
The last matches with the participation of the hosts were not particularly productive and often took place with less than seven goals scored. In this confrontation, Edmonton will surely try to win the class and save its strength for subsequent matches. Chicago can't score a lot if they're playing well on defense. We think that betting on a total less in this meeting is a good option.
We bet on a total of less than 6.5 pucks for 1.57
