Nashville Predators - New York Islanders: NHL match betting tip
On April 9, Nashville will try to break a prolonged series of defeats by playing at the home arena, where it will meet with the Islanders. The Islanders, unlike their competitor, have picked up the pace and have not lost for two matches in a row. Which bids should I choose? You will find the answer in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
It seems that Nashville will not recover this season, as the team is in terrible shape and has not been able to achieve the desired result for six consecutive matches. The team held an away series of three meetings and only in one of them was able to impose a decent fight, losing to Philadelphia with a difference of one goal (1:2). We were a little unlucky with the implementation of the attacking moments, which were plentiful. In the remaining matches, the Predators played much worse and were unable to fight back against Columbus and Dallas, suffering defeats with a score of 4:8 and 1:5, respectively.
Returning to the home arena, the Predators focused on the attacking line in the duel with Montreal and made 37 shots at the Canadian goal in three periods, but only one of them reached the goal, which led to another setback (1:2). Indeed, the club has long lost all chances of reaching the playoffs, and with them the proper motivation has disappeared, as the team just needs to finish the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jozy, Lauzon and Wilsbu will miss the upcoming match. Marchessault also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Nashville wins 51.6% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the predators make 29 shots on target.
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders, with the support of their native stands, finally interrupted a series of disastrous performances, however, the home series did not start very well. In the first match, the team fought a clear favorite in the face of Tampa Bay and was unable to fight back, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. Goalkeeper Sorokin showed a terrible game, reflecting only 83% of shots. Next, the islanders hosted Minnesota and this time they played much more reliably defensively, which allowed them to win by a two-goal margin (3:1). In particular, it is worth praising defender Dobson, who scored the puck and provided an assist.
Continuing to perform in their native walls, New York fought with the current leader of the Eastern Conference in the person of Washington and won another victory (4:1). Few people could have expected such a successful performance of the club, it is difficult even to single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves by their effective actions. At the moment, the gap from the playoff zone is seven points, so there are few chances left to participate in the Stanley Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Varlamov, Duckler and Barzal will not be able to help the team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- The Islanders receive an average of 5.51 minutes of penalty time.
- Islanders win 54.7% of face-offs

1.54Tip and bets
Nashville was unlucky with its opponent again, as the Islanders had just come to their senses and began to steadily cope with both rivals of their level and clear favorites. The Predators will play on the home arena, but this does not add much to the chances of success, since the team also performs very poorly at home and has won only one victory in the last six matches. We believe that the Islanders will take advantage of their competitor's decline and continue their winning streak.
Our betting tip is victory Islanders in the match for 1.85
Bet on the total
One of Nashville's main problems remains its very poor offensive performance, which is often the reason for defeats. The Islanders, in turn, also cannot boast of a large number of abandoned goals, which means that we choose the total less as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.95
Betting on the outcome of the first period
The Islanders, due to their form, should create serious problems for Nashville in the first period. We believe that the islanders have every chance to gain an advantage in the starting segment.
Prediction - Islanders win in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.79
