Philadelphia - Buffalo: NHL match betting tip
One of the main outsiders of the Eastern Conference will play each other on March 29 in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and Buffalo are unlikely to be able to participate in the playoffs, but both teams want to win every game and score points. The Flyers have changed their coach and now Brad Shaw will be the main mentor of the hosts. Together with him, the pilots had already beaten Montreal the day before. Will you be able to win against the Sabres? This is stated in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia is in the penultimate place in the conference and is unlikely to be able to play in the playoffs this season. From the very beginning of the regular season, the Penn State club has not shown a strong game and currently has only 67 points in 74 games in its piggy bank. The Flyers changed their head coach after defeats to Chicago (4-7) and Toronto (2-7). Brad Shaw took John Tortorella's place. Together with him, the pilots played the day before against Montreal (6:4) and immediately won, showing an excellent offensive game.
The hosts have very little effect on their half of the ice at this stage of the season. Sean Couturier's squad has conceded as many as 18 goals in the last three matches, while in each of them the red light outside the Philadelphia gates turned on at least four times. Samuel Ersson remains the club's main goalkeeper, but this season can hardly be called a success for him. The Swede deflected only 88.22% of shots and played two matches to zero.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis, Garnet Hathaway and Rasmus Ristolainen will not play against the Sabres.
Interesting betting trends
- Philadelphia gets 7.22 minutes of penalty time per match
- The pilots make an average of 27 shots on target.
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo had a very bad stretch at the end of last year. That's when the Sabres dropped to last place in the East and still can't go higher. Lindy Ruff's team scored 66 points in 71 meetings and this season can only claim the 15th place in the conference. The bison are very poor defensively and regularly allow opponents to differ in large numbers. Now they have scored a good move and have dealt with Winnipeg (5:3), Ottawa (3:2) and Pittsburgh (7:3) in turn.
The team from the suburbs of New York has improved its offense and scored 15 goals in the previous three matches. In general, the guests are not so bad in terms of the implementation of the moments, and this season they have 3.2 goals per match. Teige Thompson continues to be the club's top scorer. The forward scored 63 goals (36+27) and constantly completed Buffalo's attacks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Josh Norris, Jason Zucker and Jordan Greenway will not play in Pennsylvania.
Interesting betting trends
- Buffalo gets an average of 10.59 minutes of penalty time per game.
- According to statistics, the bison make 27 shots on target
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last four games with Philadelphia, the first period was productive.
1.75Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In four games, the hosts scored in the second period.
1.45Tip and bets
Philadelphia is on the rise after the change of coach and can now produce a series of victories. The Penn State team is generally playing well offensively, and now Buffalo is coming to visit it, which regularly misses a lot. The Sabres won three meetings in a row, but in November they were defeated in Pennsylvania. We believe that the team under the leadership of Brad Shaw will be able to show their best and will not allow the opponent to take away two points. We offer a bet on the success of pilots with a zero head start.
Prediction - Philadelphia wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.87
Betting on an individual total
Philadelphia has been doing pretty well up front lately. The Penn State team scored 16 accurate shots in the last five games and mostly lost due to poor defensive play. Buffalo regularly misses a lot and is very rarely able to restrain the pressure of rivals. We believe in at least three accurate hits from the hosts.
We take Philadelphia's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Both teams are playing poorly defensively at this stage of the season. Philadelphia doesn't have strong goalies, and Buffalo regularly has defensive problems, so the Sabres are considered one of the most skipping teams in the league. In the face-to-face match this season, the opponents scored seven accurate hits for two. We are waiting for at least six this time.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.70
