LiontipsDetroit vs Dallas. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL (April 23, 2021).
Command Analysis
Since before the start of the season, Detroit were considered the main outsider of the Central Division. And after a few first games, it became clear that they will not surprise us and remain on one of the last lines in the standings. With a little bit of luck, the Wings climbed up from eighth place and caught up with Columbus, having earned the same amount of points, but they cannot really hope for more than that.
After a series of three victories, the Red Wings lost three games in a row. And if in the first game against Dallas the team fought back and conceded only after the shootout (2:3), their other game ended with a crushing defeat (2:5). But at the same time let's not forget that at their home court they rarely allow any opponents to score more than two goals per game.
Dallas have gained good form and are ready to fight for their tickets to the playoffs. The team is still in the fifth position in the standings but has three games in hand against Nashville, who they are closing in on with only two points gap. We remind you that before the matches against Detroit, the Stars beat Columbus at home (4:1 and 5:1).
Over the course of eight games, Rick Bowness's players have been doing great in their own zone and do not concede more than two goals per game. However, in away games this season they constantly face different problems and therefore have only won seven matches out of 19.
Trends
Ставка1st period: total under 1.5
In four H2H games out of five, the teams scored less than two goals in the first period.
Ставка1st period: Detroit to not score
In four out of five games against Dallas, Detroit have not scored in the first period.
Tip and bets
We believe that Dallas can beat Detroit even away. The Stars are very motivated to make it into the playoffs and are in good form; they have developed a winning streak of four games. Considering that in the previous match they were dominating, we suggest betting on a victory for the guests.
Our first prediction is Dallas to win.
For eight games in a row, Dallas does not let their opponents score more than two goals in regulation time. And Detroit, as you know, are not really famous for their stunning performance in attack. That is why we would bet on the individual total of the hosts.
Second wager - Detroit's individual total under 2.5 goals.
