LiontipsColorado vs Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 31, 2021).
Command Analysis
Colorado are still struggling to find their form and change their game pattern from match to match. The Avalanche can act aggressively and try to lock the opponent in the zone in one game, and then sit deep in defense in the following match.
No wonder the team lacks consistency in their results. In recent games, Colorado beat Tampa (4:3 P), then lost to Vegas (1:3), and then were victorious again in the game against St. Louis (4:3). J.T. Compher is the top scorer for the Avalanche with 4 goals in the asset.
Minnesota are in the Top 4 of the Western Conference and have ten points from seven games. After a winning streak of four games, the Wild lost to Nashville at home (3:5), then defeated Vancouver away (3:2), and lost at Seattle with a score of 1:4.
Last season's top scorer for the Wild, Kirill Kaprizov, is yet to score a goal, but he already gave six assists.
Trends
СтавкаColorado IT under 3.5 goals
In 4 out of 5 games, Colorado scored fewer than four goals.
Ставка2nd period: Minnesota to score
In 4 out of 5 games, Minnesota scored in the second period.
Tip and bets
Minnesota and Colorado are approximately equal at the moment, but bookmakers gave the Wild the status of an underdog. Last season, Minnesota put up a fight against the Avalanche even when those were in perfect form, so we believe that today the Wild have a very good chance of getting a win.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Minnesota
Colorado are not very solid on the defensive. They conceded under 3 goals in just 1 out of 7 games. Minnesota have a strong line of attack, so we believe they will be able to net three of more goals.
Second wager - Minnesota IT over 2.5 goals
