Tampa vs Carolina: what bet to place?
On June 5, Tampa and Carolina will play the fourth game in the quarterfinal series. We have prepared a prediction for it.
Command Analysis
Tampa Bay Lightning
USATampa interrupted their three-game winning streak, losing to Carolina in overtime (2:3). The team was close to making a comeback, they just needed one goal. The Lightning had already defeated the Hurricanes twice with the same score of 2:1. Then they won thanks to the excellent game of the goalie Vasilevsky, who stopped 68 shots out of 70.
We would like to mention, that the Lightning haven't been playing very well at home lately, winning only two out of five games.
Carolina Hurricanes
USACarolinastarted the playoffs in quite a bad form, which was noticeable in the series against Nashville. The team had great difficulties playing against one of the weaker opponents, and scored two of the victories only in overtime, with scores of 3: 2 and 4: 3. In the quarterfinals, the Hurricanes have a much more serious counterpart, and Carolina lost in the first two games.
In the third game of the series, the Hurricanes won in overtime (3: 2 OT). It is worth mentioning the efforts of striker Aho, who scored a goal and gave two assists.
Trends
СтавкаGoal in each period - no
For four head-to-head games in a row, the teams cannot score in each period.
СтавкаTampa to score 1st
In four head-to-head games out of six, Tampa were the first to score.
Tip and bets
Tampa failed to get a comfortable advantage in the series, losing in the third game. Now Carolina have a chance not only to level the score but also to fight for a ticket to the semifinals. It is too risky to bet on the Lightning to win in regulation time, so we'd better opt for an outsider.
Our prediction - Carolina will not lose
It is not worth expecting a high-scoring game, since both teams prefer to rely on their strong defensive lines. For five head-to-head games in a row, the clubs haven't scored more than five goals, so we suggest betting on that again.
Second prediction - total under 5.5 goals
