What bet should I place on the upcoming event? You will learn about this from the betting tip

Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton currently occupies the sixth position in the Western Conference and, in general, can feel extremely comfortable. However, the team should not be fully satisfied with such a result, so it will certainly try to improve its position in the standings before the end of the regular season. However, now it cannot be said that she is in great shape.
Of course, the Oilers won three victories in a row, but after that they suffered two defeats. So, at first they beat Vegas (3:2) and San Jose (3:2) in the away game, but then they lost dry to Los Angeles (0:3), and also unexpectedly lost to Anaheim with a score of 2:3. Oddly enough, recently the oilmen often had difficulties with performance and scored no more than two goals.
Nevertheless, Edmonton remains one of the highest scoring clubs in its conference today. As a rule, Chris Nobloch's squad also enjoys a great numerical advantage, as it has 24.6% of excess sales and ranks ninth in the league by this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kane and Frederick will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton gets an average of 6.58 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, the oilers win 51.3% of face-offs.

St. Louis Blues

Current form
St. Louis has been showing excellent results for a long period of time and was recently able to break the franchise record by winning 12 consecutive victories. Thanks to this, the team significantly improved its position in the table and was able to match the points scored with Edmonton. There are three more matches ahead for the Blues, so they will certainly try to hold them at the highest level.
However, the long series of victorias has come to an end. So, the Notes dealt at home with Detroit (2:1 FROM), Pittsburgh (5:4 FROM) and Colorado (5:4), but in the last away match with Winnipeg they still lost with a score of 1:3. In that meeting, Jim Montgomery's squad was not as successful in attack and was not as active as before, which is why they hit the opponent's goal with only 15 shots, so it is not surprising that they were able to score only one abandoned puck.
It is worth saying that St. Louis shows itself best in the second half of the game, in which it has an 81:61 ratio of goals scored and missed, so playing on the far benches is its trump card.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krug, Holloway, Texier and Pareiko will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis wins 51.4% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the notes make 26 shots on target

1.52Tip and bets
We think that St. Louis will put up a tough fight with his opponent in the upcoming match. At the moment, the notes look absolutely no weaker than the Oilers and have recently shown incredible results. They relieved themselves of the burden of responsibility by losing to Winnipeg, so now they must be well prepared for a confrontation with the oilmen. Moreover, the owners themselves are far from optimal condition.
Prediction - St. Louis wins with a handicap (0) in 2.15
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has had a mediocre performance lately. Even in a match with a clear outsider in Anaheim, the team scored only two goals. The notes, in turn, missed few in recent face-to-face meetings with the oilmen and, as a rule, did not allow them to score more than twice. Based on this, we suggest betting on the individual total of the hosts.
We take Edmonton's individual total of less than three goals for 1.77
Bet on the total total
We won't expect a lot of goals scored in the upcoming game, as Edmonton has played defensively in recent games and finished with fewer than six goals scored. St. Louis also often held grassroots meetings. By the way, the last match between the clubs ended with only four goals in regular time.
We bet on a total of less than six goals for 1.67
