Minnesota - Dallas: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL championship, a duel between Minnesota and Dallas will take place on April 6. The savages, according to bookmakers, are considered outsiders in this confrontation. Indeed, they have shown poor results up to this point and even now they are on a four-game losing streak, while the Stars continue to delight their fans with a phenomenal game. What bet should be placed on the upcoming match? You will learn about this from the betting tip

Command Analysis

Minnesota Wild

Current form
Minnesota is in the eighth position of the Western Conference and has 89 points in its asset. The savages have been showing rather mediocre results for a long period of time, which is why they worsen their position in the standings. Of course, they are still five points ahead of their nearest pursuer, but they have already played two more matches and at the same time continue to show a bad game.
In the previous four meetings, the Wild were also defeated. They lost at home to New Jersey (2:5), and then lost on the road to the Devils (2:3B), the Rangers (4:5 OT) and the Islanders with a score of 1.:3. At the same time, in the last match with the islanders, the team scored only one abandoned goal, although it scored 28 shots on the opponent's goal and had two attempts to realize the majority.
However, the offensive game hasn't been going well for John Hines' squad for a very long time. That is why the club is currently one of the most ineffective in its conference and, as a rule, usually does not score more than two or three goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
David Irzicek will not be able to participate in the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Minnesota makes 27 shots on target.
- According to statistics, the savages perform 19 power moves per match.

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas continues to chase after Winnipeg and is already only four points behind it. The team has gained a foothold in the second place of the Western Conference and it is unlikely that anyone will allow themselves to be bypassed. Since the middle of last month, the sheriffs have been showing great results and are currently in a series of seven victories. Judging by their attitude, they are not going to stop there.
As a rule, the stars deal with their rivals with the utmost confidence and win with a difference of several goals. Let's remind that earlier on the road they beat Calgary (5:2), after which they dealt with Seattle twice (5:1 and 3:1), and in the final home meeting with Nashville they celebrated success with a score of 5:1, also without encountering a single problem. It is noteworthy that in many cases, Peter Deboer's team is distinguished by a very reliable defensive game and thus remains with a minimum number of missed goals.
On the road, by the way, Dallas looks no weaker than on its own ice, since in exactly half of the meetings it achieved success within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Seguin, Heiskanen, Lundqvist and Benn will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Dallas has 92:59 on goals scored and missed in the third period
- Dallas wins 52.1% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks

In three out of four meetings against Minnesota, the guests kept the second leg for themselves.
2.45Tip and bets
In our opinion, Dallas should not give its opponent a single chance for a favorable outcome in this confrontation. The Sheriffs continue their excellent winning streak and previously dealt with all the teams with a difference of several goals. Minnesota, in turn, was inferior to weaker opponents and lost to the Islanders the day before. Plus, past meetings between the clubs often ended in favor of the guests.
Prediction - Dallas wins in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
In most cases, Dallas remains with the minimum number of goals conceded and does not allow opponents to score three times. Minnesota, on the other hand, has been having great difficulty playing offensively for a long period of time and is not using its chances well. We think that if the visitors play in their usual style, they won't even concede two goals.
We're betting on Minnesota's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.75
Bet on the total total
Previous matches between the teams were inconclusive and took place with less than six goals scored. Sheriffs tend to follow a more conservative and closed style of play, so they are not used to acting on opposite courses. Minnesota, in turn, had also played two of the previous three matches with a lower total.
We take a total of less than six goals for 1.55
