Minnesota Wild - Anaheim Ducks: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL championship, a meeting between Minnesota and Anaheim will take place on April 16. For the savages, this match is of no small importance, since winning it guarantees them entry into the playoffs from the seventh place. The hosts finished the previous matches against the Ducks exclusively in their favor and succeeded with a difference of several goals. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Minnesota finished in seventh position in the Western Conference and scored a combined 95 points. Recently, the team has been winning with great difficulty and, as a rule, it has achieved success outside of regular time. However, the great salvation for the savages is the fact that Kirill Kaprizov has returned to the squad, who is still gaining shape after surgery.
Note that in three of the previous four meetings, the Wild celebrated Victoria. They defeated Dallas (3:2 OT) and San Jose (8:7 OT) on their ice, and after losing away from Calgary (2:4), they pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over Vancouver with a score of 3:2, again defeating their opponent in overtime. It is noteworthy that the Russian forward spent a little more than 26 minutes on the ice in that match, but managed to score only one assist.
Overall, performance issues have plagued the club for a long time, and so far John Hines has no way to influence this situation. The team also demonstrates a far from perfect game in the majority and currently has only 21.1% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Spurgeon, Middleton and Irzycek will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets an average of 7.51 minutes of penalty time.
- The savages make an average of 27 shots on target.
Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim remained in the 12th position of the Western Conference and definitely cannot influence its position in any way. The team has only two meetings left this season, after which it will go on a long vacation. It should be noted that during this month she showed unstable results and usually could not win more than one or two victories in a row.
Before that, the Ducks defeated Edmonton (3:2) and Calgary (3:2 OT) on their ice, but then lost to Los Angeles on the road (1:6), and lost to Colorado on home court with a score of 2:4. By the way, Greg Cronin's team had a comfortable two-goal advantage against the avalanches, but they completely failed in the final twenty minutes, during which they conceded four unanswered goals and did not score a single point.
However, Anaheim did not have a reliable defensive game this season, especially when playing on the road. So, on average, there are always at least three pucks in his goal net. In addition, the club plays poorly in the minority and has only 73.6% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabbri, McGinn, Johnston, Suhanek and Gibson will miss the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim makes an average of 27 shots on target.
- Ducks win 44.5% of face-offs

1.30Tip and bets
In our opinion, Minnesota will do its best in this confrontation and will do its best to get two points to guarantee itself entry into the playoffs from the seventh position of the Western Conference. Of course, the Savages have had a hard time winning lately, but they still looked better than Anaheim. Plus, the Ducks are in a bad mood after an incredibly disappointing loss to Colorado.
Prediction - Minnesota wins in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
In previous face-to-face meetings with Anaheim, Minnesota had a good defensive game and remained with no more than two missed goals. The Ducks rarely score more than two goals on the road this season, especially when they play against opponents in the playoff zone. It is likely that this time the guests will remain with two or fewer goals in the asset.
We're betting on Anaheim's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Minnesota has been having trouble making chances lately and has scored quite a few goals. In the upcoming confrontation, the savages will certainly play defensively, as this match is of great importance to them. The previous matches between the teams were not particularly productive, so it makes sense to put less on the total in the upcoming match.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.10
