Command Analysis
Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
Nashville has had one of its worst starts to the new season in recent years. The Tennessee team has yet to earn a single point, even though the regular season has been underway for two weeks. The Predators were unable to cope with the onslaught of Dallas (3:4), Seattle (3:7) and Edmonton (2:4) while playing at home. On the road, Andrew Brunette men were beaten dry by Detroit (0:3). The Preds share the last place in the Western Conference standings with Colorado, which is the second team in the league with zero points.
On average, Roman Josi team misses 4.5 goals per game. The hosts themselves shoot in huge quantities and really want to score, but have huge problems with converting their chances. Filip Forsberg is Nashville bright spot. The Swedish forward takes the rap for his teammates and scored four points in October (2+2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Nashville will play against Detroit with its optimal lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Predators are averaging just two goals per game to start the season.
The Predators take a lot of shots, but only convert 5.8% of their chances.
- In the first games of the regular season, the hosts earned seven penalty minutes on average
The Preds didn't have many penalties and only allowed one goal while shorthanded.
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit had a poor start in October and lost heavily to Pittsburgh in their first game (3:6). Replacing the goalie with Cam Talbot helped, so the Wings earned their first points a day later, beating Nashville in Michigan. Derek Lalonde continued to experiment and gave the visitors' third goalie a chance. The Red Wings lost to the Cops in New York (1:4), and then lost points again against the Rangers, but this time at home (2:5). The Canadian goalie was unable to help his teammates for the second time. Dylan Larkin team is in last place in the East, with only two points, having played four games.
Despite having a very strong attacking line, Detroit is not using its potential to the maximum. On average, the Red Wings score only a little more than two goals, but they concede many more.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jack Campbell and Jeff Petry will be missing from Tennessee.
Interesting trends for betting
- In previous meetings, Detroit scored 2.25 goals
The Wings did not show a strong offensive game in the first matches of the season and scored few goals.
- The Red Wings are winning 44.2% of their faceoffs.
The visiting centers are not performing well at the point and often lose the puck to their opponents.
Trends
Bet 1st period: Nashville will not score
In three out of four games between the teams, the Preds failed to score in the first period.
2.60Bet 3rd period: “Detroit” with handicap (0)
The Predators have lost third periods in three of four games.
2.25Tip and bets
We believe that in a game between the two worst teams in the standings, the visitors have excellent chances to earn points again. Although Nashville is trying hard to score, it still plays very poorly in defense and lets in huge numbers. As for Detroit, the Wings are doing a little better, which is why they were able to beat the Preds in Michigan. The Red Wings have beaten the Predators three times in five previous head-to-head games, and they have managed to maintain a small positive handicap for four games in a row. We don’t think the hosts will be able to crush their opponents on the ice of Bridgestone Arena.
Forecast - Detroit win with Asian handicap (+1.5) pucks for 1.62
Bet on individual total
Nashville defense is more like a sieve in October. Detroit hasn't scored much in the first games of the season, but it was Nashville that the visitors managed to score three times. In three of the previous five games between the clubs, the Red Wings scored at least three times. We believe that this time Derek Lalonde team will be able to score again against the Preds.
We bet on Detroit individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.75
Total Bet
Both teams had a very bad start to the season, primarily due to weak play on their half of the ice. On October 13, the Red Wings did not concede a goal to the then guests, but this was mainly due to Cam Talbot, who had a good game. We think that in the next face-to-face meeting, the teams will be more successful in realizing their chances and will be able to score at least six goals between them.
We take the total over six pucks with the coefficient 1.75
