Command Analysis

Nashville Predators

Current form
Nashville has frankly failed this season and is already, by and large, finishing it. The team has not been able to get close to the playoff zone and remains in 14th position in the Western Conference. At the same time, at the moment she cannot improve or worsen her position in the standings, since everywhere the difference from competitors is ten points.
At the same time, the Predators continue to show terrible results and are now heading for a series of five defeats. They had previously lost to St. Louis (2:3) and Vegas (1:3) on their ice, after which they went on the road, where they lost to Philadelphia (1:2) and Columbus (4:8). In the final away game against Dallas, the Predators completely lost with a rout - 1:5. By the way, in most cases Nashville failed to open the defenses of its rivals more than once or twice.
This is not surprising, since the club ranks last in its conference in terms of the number of goals scored, and therefore usually even two or three goals are given to it with great difficulty. Nashville's most disastrous performance remains the second period, in which it has a 68:91 ratio in scoring and missed goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jozy, Marchessault, Sissons, Lauzon, Wilsbu, Stastny will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Nashville wins 51.6% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the predators make 29 shots on target.

Montreal Canadiens

Current form
Montreal has improved significantly in the second half of the season and absolutely deserves to be in the playoff zone. The team currently sits on the eighth line of the Eastern Conference and has earned a total of 83 points. She's only four points ahead of her closest pursuer, the Rangers, so she definitely shouldn't relax or slow down.
It should be noted that the tricolours experienced a terrible series of five defeats last month, which has now been brightened up by four successful matches in a row. So, on the road, they dealt with Florida (4:2), after which they beat it at home (3:2 OT), and then dealt with Boston (4:1) and Philadelphia (3:2). So, in none of the four previous matches did the Canadians have more than two goals in the net, although they usually rely on open hockey and play against many opponents on opposite courses.
At the same time, Montreal is doing very well in the minority and now has 80.3% neutralization of the majority of the opponent, thanks to which it is in 13th position in the league according to this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Duck and Price will not play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Montreal gets an average of 9.07 minutes of penalty time.
- The Canadians make an average of only 26 shots on target.

In the last four meetings, the Canadians have reserved the third period for themselves.
2.60Tip and bets
Montreal now looks much preferable to its counterpart, as it was previously able to win four in a row and dealt with quite serious opponents. Nashville is currently experiencing heavy losses in the squad and cannot adequately fight back against its rivals, which is why it remains on a long losing streak. By the way, the last matches between the clubs also ended with a tricolor victory. They are currently actively fighting to get into the playoffs, so they cannot afford to lose points in matches against outsiders.
Prediction - Montreal wins with a handicap (0) in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
Nashville has had huge problems creating and executing chances in recent matches. The Predators currently remain the most ineffective club in their conference and are often unable to score more than two goals. Montreal, in turn, has not conceded three times in the last four meetings, so we suggest that we add to the individual total of the hosts.
We take Nashville's individual total of less than three goals for 1.70
Bet on the total total
Previous matches involving Montreal turned out to be quite low-level and took place with less than six goals scored. Tricolor players have become much better at playing defense than before. In addition, the last match between the teams also took place with only three goals scored. Based on this, it makes sense to expect a small number of goals in this confrontation.
We bet on a total of less than six goals for 1.75
