LiontipsWinnipeg vs Edmonton. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 25, 2021).
Command Analysis
Winnipeg were considered a formal underdog in the series against Edmonton but were able to prove the opposite by showing excellent play in all three games. Now the Jets are leading with a score of 3:0 and they only have to win in one match to advance to the next round. By the way, the previous game gave Paul Maurice's charges additional motivation and a huge charge of emotions.
The Jets were losing with a score of 1: 4 and literally a few minutes before the end of the third period equalized the score, and in the 70th minute Nikolaj Ehlers scored the decisive goal. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck looked great again and saved 44 shots in total.
Edmonton simply lacked the experience and bench depth to compete with Winnipeg in this series. Only the first line creates dangerous moments in attack for the Oilers, with great performances from McDavid and Draisaitl. The rest of the squad quite rarely show something special on the court.
For example, in the previous game, Leon Draisaitl scored a double and gave an assist, but inconsistent defensive actions led Dave Tippett's squad to another defeat. After that, Edmonton probably lost heart, and their chances of winning the series almost disappeared.
Trends
Ставка1st period: total under 1.5
In three head-to-head games out of four, less than two goals were scored in the first period.
Ставка2nd period: Winnipeg to score
Winnipeg scored in the second period in two out of three games.
Tip and bets
Winnipeg continue to beat Edmonton in every game and now the Jets are close to advancing to the next round. The Jets try to neutralize the first link of the Oilers. If they manage to do this, Edmonton can't create anything dangerous in attack. We think that Paul Maurice's charges will be stronger again.
Our prediction - Winnipeg to win
Only the last game between the teams was high-scoring. Previously, both of them were very careful and stayed put in defense. The previous game was also supposed to have few goals, but the Jets unexpectedly scored three in a row in the third period. Based on how the matches turn out, we suggest betting that fewer than six goals will be scored.
Second wager - total under 5.5 goals
