Vancouver Canucks vs San Jose Sharks: NHL match betting tip
On April 15, the NHL Championship will host a match between Vancouver and San Jose. The favorite in this pair is obvious, and the Canadians should earn two points without any problems. However, for example, the last meeting between the clubs was held in a tense struggle and ended only outside the regular time. What is the best bet to place on the upcoming event? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver is no longer in any position to qualify for the playoffs this season. The team ended up on the tenth line of the Western Conference and scored a total of 88 points. In previous fights, she tried to show her best side, but it wasn't enough. Plus, Canadians have been unable to get on a winning streak for a long period of time and are limited to one or two wins in a row.
Before that, they lost to Vegas (2:3) on their ice, after which they played great on the road against Dallas (6:5 OT) and Colorado (4:1), but in the final home game they lost to Minnesota again with a score of 2:3 in overtime. In the match with the savages, Rick Tocchet's team had an extremely comfortable advantage before the start of the third twenty minutes and led by two goals, but they played the last game terribly and allowed the opponent to bring things to overtime, where he turned out to be stronger.
Nevertheless, the team is clearly performing better at home than away, and has won 16 victories in regular time up to this point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Khitil, Juulsen, Pettersson, Oman, Myers and Demko will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Vancouver holds 27 power moves per match.
- Vancouver wins 49.1% of face-offs
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose will remain on the last line of the Western Conference, as it is already six points behind Chicago. At the same time, the team continues to show terrible results and loses match after match. Of course, she will still have the opportunity to rehabilitate herself after the fight with Vancouver on the home arena, but for this she needs to create something incredible, given her current form.
We would like to emphasize that before that, the Sharks lost to Calgary (2:3), and after an insulting defeat by Minnesota (7:8 OT), they lost to both Edmonton (2:4) and Calgary (2:5) on the road. Ryan Warsofsky's squad, of course, regularly scores two goals, but they miss a lot more in return. A similar trend continues with the Sharks throughout the season. At the same time, as a rule, the third game segment is the most disastrous, in which they have a 74:108 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded.
The club also plays very poorly in the minority and concedes in almost every match in the 4x5 format. That is why today San Jose has only 73.5% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Couture, Mukhamadullin, Dearne, Ferraro and Kostin will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, San Jose holds 22 power moves.
- Sharks win 47.8% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.85The 3rd periodbet: the guests will score
In four out of five matches against Vancouver, the visitors scored goals in the third period.
1.72Tip and bets
We think that San Jose will not give in to this confrontation without a fight. All previous matches between the clubs were held in a tense struggle and ended with a minimal advantage of the Canucks in the score. Killer whales often stumble in matches with similar opponents, especially when absolutely everyone considers them clear favorites. We think that even if the Sharks concede, they will do it with a one-goal difference or outside of regular time.
Prediction - San Jose wins with an Asian handicap (+2) on goals in 1.67
Betting on an individual total
San Jose regularly scored no less than two goals in previous matches. The team is able to combine well and looks fresh in attack, so even on the road, they score about two or three goals on average. By the way, Vancouver has also conceded at least twice in the last four out of five matches against the Sharks, so it makes sense to put the guests on total.
We take San Jose's individual total of more than two goals for 1.80
Bet on the total total
Many meetings with San Jose are spectacular and end with more than five goals scored. The Sharks have played all three previous matches on the road with six or more goals. Vancouver, in turn, also knows how to score and takes advantage of the moments well. It is likely that we will see spectacular hockey this time too.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.80
