LiontipsOttawa vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (29 April 2021).
Command Analysis
Ottawa are currently in the last place in their division, but now they have a chance to overtake Vancouver by taking points away from the Canucks. The team recently started to show better results than at the start of the season. Perhaps, the reason for that is that they no longer have to stress and push their limits.
The Senators have won the last four out of five matches, including two victories over the Canucks. After an away defeat from Vancouver with a score of 2: 4, D.J. Smith's charges redeemed themselves and beat the opponents at home with a low score (2:1). We must say, that just one conceded goal is an achievement for Ottawa, since on average, even at home, they concede three goals per game.
Vancouver are ranked sixth in the Northern Division with a total of 41 points. The team has played seven games less than Ottawa and all other clubs, so the Canucks still have a chance of moving up to at least fifth place. Let's note that the Canucks lack stability this season.
They struggle to build up a winning streak and usually alternate between victories and defeats. Sadly, the away performance of Travis Green's squad leaves much to be desired, since they won only 4 out of 18 games in regulation time, and on average concede more than three goals per game.
Trends
Ставка1st Period: Total Over 1.5

СтавкаGoal in each period - No
In two out of three head-to-head games, one of the periods didn't have any goals scored.
Tip and bets
We think that Vancouver are very motivated to score two points in the upcoming game, because they still have, albeit theoretical, chances of getting into the playoffs. Ottawa may be in good form, but the Canucks have already recently beaten the Senators at home, and would want to take revenge for the defeat in the previous game.
Our prediction is Vancouver to win.
Both teams usually show a good attacking game, but the matches between them, oddly enough, often turn out to have low scores. We think that this strange tradition will continue in the upcoming match, and the clubs will not be able to score more than the set total.
Our second wager is on total under 6 goals.
