LiontipsEdmonton vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 7, 2021).
Command Analysis
Edmonton occupy the second line of the standings with a total of 66 points. They have practically no chance of getting into the first place, but as for keeping the second line, they have it under control. The team is in great form and is currently on a three-game winning streak.
The Oilers beat Calgary (4:1), and then defeated Vancouver away twice (5:3 and 4:1). Also, the Oilers are currently one of the most scoring teams in the division, and at the same time, they concede few goals. Connor McDavid is just seven points shy of scoring a hundred 100 goals and assists.
Vancouver are having a disastrous season in all respects. The team had prospects of qualifying to the playoffs, but constant pauses due to quarantine and injuries did not allow Vancouver to perform at the desired level. Now they are on the last line of the standings and six points behind Ottawa.
However, we should mention that the Canucks played only 41 games, and therefore they have a few games in hand to try and catch up with the other teams. But it's hard to believe that Travis Green's charges will suddenly start showing incredible results and win one game after another. They are currently on a six-game losing streak.
Trends
Ставка1st Period: Total Over 1.5
More than one goal was scored in the first period in three out of four of Edmonton's games.
Ставка2nd Period: Edmonton To Score
In three out of four games against Vancouver, the Oilers scored in the second period.
Tip and bets
We think Edmonton have a better chance of success in this game. In the two previous fixtures, they confidently defeated the opponent. Moreover, Vancouver are now in bad form and have lost six games in a row. And the Canucks have no real motivation left because they are most likely to remain in the last place.
Our prediction is Edmonton to win.
In recent matches, Edmonton have shown discipline on the defensive and, as a rule, conceded no more than two goals per game. That made the games with their participation low scoring, and we think that in the upcoming fixture the teams will not score seven goals in a joined effort.
Our second bet is total under 6.5 goals.
