Utah - Detroit: NHL match betting tip
On March 25, a meeting between Utah and Detroit will take place in Salt Lake. Both teams were in the playoff zone at the time, but now they are outside it. The Red Wings were very good at the beginning of the calendar year, but gradually slowed down and fell behind the top eight in the East. The newcomers are approaching the leaders of their conference and in the very near future may be among the best clubs in the West. How will this match turn out? About this in the betting tip for it
Command Analysis
Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
The debutants are ready to fight for the playoffs in their first season in the league. Utah is on the 11th line in the West and has 75 points in its piggy bank after 70 starts. Andre Turigny's players are six points behind St. Louis, which is in eighth place, and they can get closer to the musicians in the very near future, because they played two more matches. The newcomers have gained excellent form after a bad start to spring. They returned home and defeated Buffalo (5-2) and Tampa Bay (6-4) in Salt Lake.
Clayton Keller's team has improved in terms of scoring chances, and the captain himself remains the club's top scorer. This season, the Canadian made 77 assists (24+53), while the team scored 20 accurate shots in six previous meetings. We can also single out Nick Schmaltz (17+40), who regularly assists partners.
Disqualifications and injuries
Connor Ingram, Liam O'Brien and Juuso Valmyaki will not play against the Wings.
Interesting betting trends
- Utah throws 28 times per game on average
- The hosts receive an average of 9.43 minutes of penalty time.
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Not so long ago, Detroit was located in the upper half of the East table and could gain a foothold among the best clubs in the conference. Now the Michigan State team has dropped to 12th place, with 70 points in its piggy bank after 69 games. Krylia is five points behind Montreal, which scored five points more, so the visitors still have a chance to play in the playoffs. The Red Wings have lost their form and have won only two games since February 26. They started the current guest tour with defeats in the US capital (1:4) and the state of Nevada (3:6).
Todd McLellan's team can't get a defensive game going, and they can't compensate for defensive mistakes with a strong offensive game. This season, Detroit is conceding 3.20 goals per game on average, and in the last five meetings, the red light outside the Michigan goal was turned on 17 times. Petr Mrazek played four games for the new team after moving from Chicago, but so far he has not been very good at the last turn.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrew Kopp and Erik Gustavsson won't be able to play in Salt Lake. Carter Mazur's participation is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Wings are thrown 27 times per game on average.
- Red Wings win 49.7% of face-offs
Trends
Bet period 3: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last five games with Detroit, the third period has been productive.
1.48Bet 2nd period: "Utah" will score
The rookies scored in the third period in the last seven games.
1.37Tip and bets
Utah scored a great move and made great use of their chances in recent matches. The Salt Lake team easily dealt with its rivals in the first games of the home series and is close to the top eight in the West. Detroit lacks stability during this season, and now the wings are in very bad shape. Only in individual matches does Dylan Larkin's squad show high-quality hockey. We think that the hosts will control the course of the confrontation and will be closer to success. We offer a bet on winning the first match.
Our prediction is that Utah will win the match in 1.62
Betting on an individual total
Utah has been playing well offensively lately, and in the last two games, the rookies scored 11 goals. Detroit regularly fails defensively, and even signing a new goalkeeper hasn't solved the wings' problems. On average, the Michigan team concedes 3.20 goals per match, so we believe that the debutants will score at least three or four goals without any problems.
Prediction - Utah's individual total is more than three goals in 1.73
Bet on the total
Both teams are in dire need of points and are unlikely to sit on the defensive. Utah is hardly a productive team, but at this stage of the season, the hosts are demonstrating spectacular hockey. Detroit misses a lot, but is able to upset the opponent at least a few times. We expect at least six accurate shots from our opponents. Let's bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.67
