St. Louis Blues vs Dallas Stars Prediction and Betting Tips (26.01.2025)

Match announcement

St. Louis Blues

USA

Current form

St. Louis is in tenth place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 50 points. The team is actively fighting for a place in the playoff zone and is currently only three points behind eighth place. Its situation is clearly better than last year, when it had absolutely no chance of participating in the Stanley Cup playoffs. However, the club has not been able to find stability recently and has alternated successful matches with defeats.

So, the Notes dealt with Calgary (4:1), lost to Utah (2:4), and after a successful match against Vegas (5:4 B) lost to them in the return match on their ice with a score of 2:4. In the second confrontation with the Knights, the Blues played a very unsuccessful opening segment and immediately began the match with 0:2, so most of the game was played under the dictation and with the advantage of the opponent.

Speaking about the Blues' home arena play in general, they generally play pretty well in front of their home crowd, as they have already managed to win nine victories within 60 minutes. However, Jim Montgomery team does not always manage to demonstrate good results, and on average he scores 2.7 goals per game at home. The team also has certain difficulties with 5x3 and 5x4 play, which is why it has only an 18.9% power play rate and ranks 21st in the league in this indicator.

Interesting trends for betting

  • Statistically, St. Louis has 26 shots on goal.

Notes are usually characterized by a rather low throwing activity and act as the second number

  • St. Louis has a 43-54 third-period goal-to-goal ratio.

The team is not performing well in the final period of the game and often concedes goals.

Dallas Stars

USA

Current form

Dallas currently sits fifth in the Western Conference standings and has earned 59 points. The team could very well have a lot to live up to this season, as it is only four points behind the top three. However, it hasn't been able to get a long winning streak lately, and has often alternated successful games with losses, so it safe to say that it far from its best form.

Let us recall that not long ago the Sheriffs lost to Colorado (3:6) on the road, and after a victory over Detroit (4:1) they lost to Carolina (1:2) at home. Only in the final confrontation with Vegas, before going on the road, the club celebrated a success with a score of 4:3, while scoring four goals. Incidentally, in that meeting with the Knights, Peter DeBoer team played a killer second twenty minutes, during which they scored three goals, thanks to which they secured a comfortable advantage for themselves, which they subsequently brought to a victorious end without any particular problems.

However, we must not forget that Dallas has not been as successful on the road this season as it has been on home ice. We would like to emphasize that up to this point, the Stars have already suffered ten losses within regulation time, and on average, about three pucks have ended up in their net. However, the team almost always scores a lot in response and is used to opening up the opponent defense at least three times.

Tip and bets

2.15Dallas win

No matter what form Dallas is in, it remains a very unpleasant and inconvenient opponent for St. Louis. The Notes have always had serious problems against the Sheriffs in previous matches and often lost. Moreover, Peter DeBoer squad won the final match and went to this away series in a good mood, and the Blues have alternated successful matches with defeats before, so they cannot be 100% confident in their strength. We think that not without problems, but still the formal favorite will succeed in this confrontation.

Prediction - Dallas win for 2.15

1.9IT St. Louis Under 2.5 Goals

Bet on individual total

Dallas often has a good defensive game and is left with no more than one or two goals conceded. St. Louis in previous matches against the Sheriffs had some difficulties with creating and implementing chances and distinguished themselves with fewer than three goals scored. In general, in matches with such opponents, the home team often faces problems with scoring, so it makes sense to bet on their total.

We take the individual total of St. Louis under 2.5 goals for 1.90

Total Bet

Previous matches between the clubs were not particularly productive, because Dallas did not allow the Blues to play their hockey. In addition, three previous matches out of five Stars ended with fewer than six goals scored. It is quite possible that this time DeBoer team will play in a similar style and spend most of the time in a power struggle, so we would not expect a large number of goals in the upcoming match.

We bet on total under 5.5 goals with odds of 2.00
