LiontipsPhiladelphia vs Islanders. Predictions & Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Philadelphia continue to show mediocre results, occasionally earning some points. In four games, the team only beat Pittsburgh (2:1 B). They managed to get the win thanks to the excellent job from goaltender Hart, who stopped 96% of the shots. In the rest of the games, Flyers suffered devastating defeats against Buffalo (3:5) and Washington (1:6 and 3:6).
Home ice does not help the Hooligans to earn points, in 10 games they only got two wins over Boston (3:2) and Rangers (2:1). At the moment, Philadelphia is in sixth place in the Eastern Division, with 46 points.
Islanders had a successful home streak of six games, losing only to Rangers (1:4). On the whole, they performed well, but the opponents had better luck using their chances. In a stand-off against Cops, the team was able to take revenge (2:3 OT). The goalkeeper Sorokin deserved some praise, as he stopped 92% of the shots.
Then New York had to play Boston away. In the first match, Barry Trotz's men crumbled under their opponent's pressure and suffered a crushing defeat (1:4). In the second match, the Islanders lost again without even scoring a goal (0:3).

Tip and bets
In head-to-head matches, teams constantly draw. This season, the clubs have already played each other seven times, and five of them ended in overtime. So you can take a chance and bet that the winner will be determined in overtime or penalty shootout.
Our prediction is a draw at 4.32
The recent head-to-head games haven't been high-scoring. For three matches in a row clubs cannot score more than four goals. Also note that Islanders are trying to play defensively, which often bears fruit.
The second bet - total under 5.5 goals at 1.93
