Ottawa - Columbus: NHL match betting tip
Ottawa will host a fight against Columbus on April 7 on its home court. The Canadians are in a good mood after two consecutive victories, so they are certainly ready to fight against the uniforms, who, on the contrary, suffered two defeats in a row. Past meetings between the clubs have been fought hard, but often ended in favor of the hosts. What bet should I place on this event? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa improved a lot in the second half of the season and began to show the results that allowed it to gain a foothold in the playoff zone. At the moment, the team is in the seventh position of the Eastern Conference and has 88 points in its asset. At the same time, she is unlikely to stop there, because due to the high density in the standings, she can still improve her position.
It should be noted that not so long ago, however, the Senators faced two defeats in a row. They first lost to Pittsburgh (0:1 OT), and then lost at home to Buffalo (2:5). Despite this, the Canadians performed very well in duels with powerful rivals in the face of Tampa (2:1) and Florida (3:0), winning them within regular time. At the same time, in both cases they were left with less than two goals conceded, and in the confrontation with the Panthers they never missed at all.
Let's emphasize that Travis Green's team plays stronger on their own ice than on the road, and in exactly half of the meetings they achieved victory within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tkachuk and Cousins will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Ottawa makes 29 shots on target.
- The Canadians have 73:67 on goals scored and missed in the second period.
Columbus Blue Jackets
USACurrent form
Columbus is still outside the playoff zone and cannot boast the same results as its opponent. The team is in 11th position in the Eastern Conference and is currently six points behind the top eight. Of course, if the circumstances are favorable for her, she is able to qualify for the Stanley Cup, but in the current situation it is very difficult to imagine this.
The uniforms have also been showing very poor results lately. They had been defeated in three out of five previous meetings. So, after an unsuccessful away match against the Senators (2:3), they beat Nashville (8:4) at home, but subsequently lost to Colorado (3:7), and also lost to Toronto away with a score of 0:5, without scoring a single goal.
By the way, the club has serious performance problems from time to time. Dean Evason's squad remains one of the most ineffective in their conference and, as a rule, does not score more than two goals in matches with the leaders.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kevin Labanque will miss the upcoming bout due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Columbus averages 20 power moves per match.
- Columbus wins 47.9% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches with the participation of guests, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In the last two meetings against Columbus, the Canadians were successful in the second leg.
2.30Tip and bets
In our opinion, Ottawa is capable of claiming two points in this confrontation. The Senators recently met with their counterpart at the home arena and celebrated their success with a score of 3:2. The uniforms, moreover, suffered a crushing defeat from Toronto on a visit just the day before, so they are now in a mediocre mood. The hosts are outperforming their opponents in class this season, so we suggest betting on their success.
Prediction - Ottawa wins in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
Columbus often has difficulty creating and executing chances, and in matches with opponents located within the playoff zone, there are often fewer than three abandoned goals in the asset. Ottawa, in turn, managed no more than two goals in four out of five matches. Based on this, we offer a bet on the individual total number of guests.
We take Columbus' individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.85
Bet on the total total
Many meetings with Ottawa have not been particularly productive lately and, as a rule, took place with less than six goals scored. Plus, the hosts are still missing one of the offensive leaders in Brady Tkachuk due to injury, so they are trying to play in a more conservative style. That's why we don't expect a lot of goals in the upcoming match.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.20
