Winnipeg vs Boston: prediction for the NHL game
The Jets face the Bruins in the NHL on Thursday night. What to expect from the teams? Look out for our prediction below.
Match announcement
Winnipeg Jets
Winnipeg are currently in eighth place in the West with 79 points. The team has not been particularly consistent this season, but has done enough to remain in playoff contention. The Jets recently beat Florida (5-4 OT) and Tampa Bay (3-2) away, but suffered a 3-5 defeat to Carolina.
It is worth mentioning that the jets have a few injury concerns. For instance, the key attacking leaders Pierre-Luc Dubois and Josh Morrissey are sidelined through injuries, which means that the Jets won't be able to play at full strength.
Boston Bruins
Boston are nine points clear of their nearest pursuer as they confidently lead the Eastern Conference. However, the team dipped in form and lost two games in a row for the first time in a long time. After defeating Detroit (3-2) at home, they lost to the Red Wings (3-5) away, and then were crushed by Chicago (3-6).
Moreover, in matches against those relatively weak opponents, Montgomery's team allowed more than four goals. The Bruins, too, have certain losses in the lineup. For example, forwards Foligno and Hall are absent due to injuries.
Betting trends
Ставка Winnipeg IT under 2.5
The hosts have scored less than 3 goals in their last 4 games against Boston.
Ставка 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In 4 out of 5 meetings between the clubs, the first period had more than 1 goal.
Prediction
We think that after two defeats in a row, Boston will pull themselves together and show everything they are capable of. The Bruins are not used to losing streaks this season, and past matches against Winnipeg have usually ended in their favor. Considering the Jets' problems with the lineup, we suggest betting on the visiting team.
Our prediction - Boston to win
Prediction
уверенная ставка
We do not expect Winnipeg to score more than two goals in the upcoming game. Firstly, Boston are solid on defense and usually do not allow their opponents to score three goals. Secondly, the Jets struggle on offense without their attacking leaders.
Second bet - Winnipeg IT under 2.5 goals
