Buffalo - Edmonton: NHL match betting tip

Command Analysis
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
It's hard to say when Buffalo will come to its senses and start steadily earning points again, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. The team continues to be in terrible shape, and the losing streak has already reached six matches in a row. After a complete failure in the home arena and a crushing defeat from a clear outsider in the person of San Jose (2:6) The Sabres went to play on the road, where they continued to show a very weak defensive game. The team met with Tampa Bay and this time played very actively, which allowed them to impose a worthy struggle on the favorite, but constant failures in defense led to another setback (5:6). Goalkeeper Luukkonen also showed his worst side, reflecting only 76% of shots.
Next, the blades went to visit another very serious competitor in the face of Florida, where they could not score a single goal at all. As a result, the meeting ended with a score of 0:4. It's already safe to say that Buffalo has completely failed this season, as the club currently occupies the last place in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is already 15 points. This means that there is practically no chance of a ticket to the Stanley Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kulikh will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Also, the Order remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Buffalo concedes 3.5 goals per game.
- The Sabres receive an average of 9.72 penalty minutes per game.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton finally came to its senses after the recession and began to delight the fans with successful results. The team played a three-match home series, which did not start well and in the first match suffered a crushing defeat from Anaheim (2:6), which came as a big surprise to many. Goalkeepers Picard and Skinner did not cope with their task, reflecting only 77% of shots between the two. Nevertheless, the Oilers quickly rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans and regained their lost points in the next match, snatching Victoria from Montreal in overtime (3:2). Once again, the main scorers of the club, in the person of McDavid and Dreisaitl, scored two goals each.
Continuing to perform in their native walls, the oilmen faced off against a much more serious rival, in the person of Dallas. Already at the end of the second period, Edmonton was able to take a significant advantage of four goals, which allowed him to win in regular time (5-4). The most productive was striker Hyman, who scored a double and gave an assist. It is worth noting that the recession did not significantly affect the team's position in the Western Conference table. She is currently in fourth place with 78 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekholm, Klingberg and Kane continue to remain in the Edmonton infirmary. Frederick is also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Edmonton scores 3.25 goals per game.
- The Oilers completed 27% of the majority attempts

1.50Tip and bets
Although Buffalo has returned to the home arena, it is hard to believe that the club will be able to give a worthy rebuff to such a powerful opponent. Indeed, even at home, the Sabres are consistently inferior to rivals of their level. Edmonton, on the other hand, is starting to regain its former form and has already begun to beat the strongest clubs in the league, which it showed in a duel with Dallas. Another important factor is that the Oilers are well aware of their numerical superiority, but the Blades have serious discipline problems. For these reasons, we suggest making a confident bet in favor of the guests.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win in 1.91
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Buffalo cannot boast of a reliable defensive game, which its rivals constantly use and realize their full attacking potential.
Betting Tip - total more than six goals in 1.70
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Edmonton, due to its significant superiority over its opponent, will begin to create pressure on Buffalo from the first minutes of the match. We believe that the hosts will not be able to cope with the constant pressure of the opponent and will allow him to gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Edmonton wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.60
