LiontipsArizona vs Florida. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 11, 2021).
Command Analysis
Arizona sit bottom of the Eastern Conference table. The Coyotes are the main outsider this season, and there is almost no chance that they will significantly improve their position. After a hard-fought victory over Winnipeg (1:0), the team suffered three defeats in a row.
The Coyotes lost to Minnesota (2:5), Vegas (1:7) and Dallas (1:4). In the last two games, Arizona failed to score more than one goal. Even at home, André Tourigny's men managed only one win in regulation. However, Arizona are not planning on finding a different head coach.
Florida, on the contrary, are one of the leaders in the East and the overall league standings. The team recently was on a three-game winning streak, during which they recorded victories over Washington (5:4) and St. Louis (4:3 SO). We remind you, that the Panthers lost their previous match against the Blues in St. Louis (3:4 OT).
The Panthers have the second-best attack in the NHL, they scored 96 goals in 25 games. But while the Panthers are doing great at home, they celebrated their success in only 3 out of 10 away games.
Trends
Florida conceded more than 2 goals in 6 previous games.
In 4 out of 5 head-to-head games, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
Tip and bets
Arizona clearly are the underdogs here. However, if the two sides were facing off in Florida, there would be no doubt about the Panthers' victory, but away, Brunette's men are not as confident, so the Coyotes have a chance to earn points.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+2) to Arizona
Previous games of Florida were real barn-burners, and the teams scored 8 goals in the last head-to-head match. We suggest betting on the total over.
Second wager - total over 5.5 goals
