Edmonton - Utah: NHL match betting tip
On March 19, Edmonton will host a fight against Utah at the home arena. The oilmen are considered the undisputed favorites of this confrontation and, in the opinion of many, should achieve success within the regular time. Indeed, the hosts reserved the two previous matches against the team from Salt Lake. However, they've been having a hard time winning lately. Is it worth betting on their success now? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton has big plans for this season and plans to compete for the Stanley Cup. The team is currently on the fifth line of the Western Conference, but it certainly wants to improve its position in the standings before the end of the regular season. It is quite realistic to do this, especially considering that it is literally five points away from the second line.
At the same time, the oilmen are gradually recovering and are now showing good results. Recall that after unsuccessful matches against Buffalo (2:3) and New Jersey (2:3), they pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over the Islanders (2:1 OT), and then dealt with the Rangers with a score of 3:2. Strangely enough, all the previous matches with their participation turned out to be inconclusive and took place with a minimum number of goals, although the Oilers usually rely on open hockey and try to score as many as possible.
But Leon Draisaitl continues to show an incredible game, who literally earns points in every match and has already scored 101 points using the goal+ pass system. Today, the striker is one of the best in the league and occupies the second position in the list of scorers.
Disqualifications and injuries
Frederik, Klingberg, Kane and Hyman will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton gets 6.51 minutes of penalty time
- According to statistics, the Oilers make 32 shots on target.
Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah is trying its best in its first NHL season and may well qualify for the playoffs. To date, she has 71 points and is just a couple of points behind the eighth position, so she may improve her position in the near future. We emphasize that recently the club has alternated successful matches with defeats and could not get out on a successful streak.
So, on their ice, the team lost to Toronto (3:4B), defeated Anaheim (3:2) in a hard fight, and after an unsuccessful away match against Seattle (2:4), they had a great fight against Vancouver, which they dealt with with a score of 3:1. It is impossible not to mention the actions in the past. The match was played by the goalkeeper, Karel Veimelka, who did not have much work, but he coped with it with a bang and parried a total of 18 shots.
We emphasize that Andre Turigny's squad usually plays in an open style on the road and is not afraid to miss an extra puck, and on average scores three goals per game. However, in the second segment, Utah concedes a lot and has a 62:72 ratio in terms of dropped and missed goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bortuzzo, O'Brien and Vyalimyaki will not be able to participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Utah gets 9.37 minutes of penalty time.
- On average, the team makes 28 shots on target.

In three out of five meetings, the hosts kept the second leg for themselves.
2.30Tip and bets
Edmonton looks stronger against the background of its counterpart and is obliged to earn two points with the support of the home stands. Plus, the teams have already met twice this season, and in both cases the Oilers have been successful. Utah plays mediocre against opponents in the playoff zone, and usually loses to them on the road by a few goals. Draisatl and McDavid will not leave Weimelka alone and will create dangerous moments on a regular basis, so the guests will definitely not be able to cope with such pressure.
Prediction - Edmonton wins in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has been a great defensive player in recent matches and in many cases has managed with less than three goals conceded. Utah doesn't score much on the road, especially if it plays against powerful opponents. By the way, last time the Oilers allowed the Salt Lake team to score only one goal, so we don't think they will concede three times in the upcoming match.
We're betting on Utah's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings with the participation of the home team turned out to be grassroots and took place with five or fewer goals scored. It can be seen that the Oilers have now rebuilt their game and are paying more attention to defense than before. Utah, in turn, also played two of the previous three matches with a total less. It is likely that this time we will witness ineffective hockey.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.15
