Colorado vs. Seattle: NHL Match Prediction
On November 6, Colorado will host a battle against Seattle on their home court. Bookmakers, for obvious reasons, give preference to the Avalanche in this confrontation, even though they are on a three-game losing streak. However, the Kraken is also on a long losing streak and can’t seem to pull themselves together. What bet should you place on this event? You will find out from our forecast
Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado became one of the outsiders of the Western Conference and ended up in 14th place in the Western Conference. The team continues to play in series. After a long successful series of matches, it lost three games in a row. First, on home ice, the Avalanche lost to Chicago (2:5), then they could not cope with Tampa (2:5), and already on the road they lost two points against Nashville (2:5). It is noteworthy that in all three cases they lost with the same score - 2:5. By the way, the Avalanche continue to act on opposite courses and try to devote more time to attack than defense. Previously, this style of play brought them fruits and victories on a regular basis, but now something is going wrong.
By the way, Jared Bednar team had only managed to win one victory in regulation time on home ice before, although last season it was one of the best in the league in terms of play in its arena. But the club continues to make great use of its moments in the majority and ranks second in this indicator, currently having 34.2% of the extra man conversion. The third period remains Colorado most disastrous performance, during which, oddly enough, it fails to keep up with the speed and gives the initiative to the opponent. That is why in this twenty-minute period the team has a ratio of 14:20 in goals scored and goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Druen, Wood, Colton and Landeskog will not participate in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Colorado makes at least 30 shots
The Avalanche spend a lot of time on offense and have skilled forwards, so they take a lot of shots on goal
- The Avalanche have a 68.8% power play neutralization rate.
Colorado is very weak in the 4v5 format and is one of the worst in the league in this regard.
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle is in 12th place in the Western Conference and has already earned 11 points. The team has been showing terrible results lately and has suffered six defeats in seven games. It is noteworthy that it managed to crush Montreal on the road with a score of 8:2, but after that it lost three games in a row. Let us recall that the Kraken lost to Toronto (1:4), Ottawa (0:3) and Boston (0:2). Apparently, Dan Bylsma team left all its attacking strength in the confrontation with the Tricolors, since in the last two games it remained without scoring goals and created very few dangerous moments at the opponent goal.
In general, the club has shown poor results on the road and has managed to win only two of the seven games played so far. Unlike its counterpart, Seattle has been playing well in the final twenty minutes, but in the first game period they regularly encounter problems and concede a lot. The clear leader in the attack line this year is Jared McCann, who managed to earn 14 points in the goal + pass system, but in recent games he has not distinguished himself with any useful actions on the court. It is also worth mentioning that the team plays poorly in the 5x4 format and currently has only 16.7% of the majority implementation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vince Dunn will not play in the upcoming fight due to injury
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle averages no more than 26 shots on goal
Seattle is showing weak shooting activity, as it is forced to spend a lot of time on defense
- Kraken has 14:10 in goals scored and conceded in the third period
Seattle is playing strong in the third period and scoring quite often during this period.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving the home team, the first period was productive
1.75Bet 2nd period: home team win
In three out of five games against Seattle, the home team kept the second period for themselves
2.30Tip and bets
In our opinion, Colorado should have no problem dealing with Seattle in this match. The Kraken has looked very weak lately and has not scored any goals at all. The Avalanche are doing much better in terms of scoring.
Plus, the Kraken had already played three away games in a row and spent a lot of energy, while the Avalanche had time to recover and had one more rest. In such a schedule, even such a short break is of great importance. We think that Bednar team will be stronger.
Prediction - Colorado win for 1.90
Bet on individual total
In recent games, as we noted above, Seattle has shown poor performance and has not scored more than once. Colorado, of course, is not a model of defense, but should not concede much against such an opponent. It is also worth mentioning that in five previous games out of seven against the Kraken, the hosts were left with fewer than three goals conceded, so they know perfectly well how to act against its attack.
We bet on Seattle individual total under 2.5 goals for 1.95
Total Bet
Most of the games involving Colorado are bright and spectacular. The Avalanche play open hockey and sometimes neglect defense. By the way, three previous games out of four between the teams also ended with more than five goals. Seattle, due to fatigue, will definitely not be able to play reliably in defense and have a low-scoring game, so we suggest betting on the total over.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.57
