LiontipsIslanders - Minnesota: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Islanders are unlikely to seriously qualify for the playoffs this season, as even now they are in 12th position in the Eastern Conference and are five points behind the top eight. At the same time, the team has recently shown disastrous results and lost to rival after rival. So, now her losing streak has already counted six fights.
At the same time, in four previous cases, the club lost within 60 minutes. Let's remind that on their ice, the islanders could not cope with Vancouver (2:5), after that they lost away to Tampa (3:5) and could not cope with Carolina (4:6). Upon returning to the home arena, they fought the lightning again, but this time they failed with a score of 1.:4. In most meetings, Patrick Roy's team showed a weak defensive game and allowed opponents to score at least three or four times.
Given the Islanders' style of play, this is not an acceptable luxury for them, since New York itself scores very little and has great difficulty coping with the opponents' defense.
Disqualifications and injuries
Varlamov and Barzal will miss the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The Islanders average 29 shots on target per game.
- Islanders win 54.7% of face-offs
Current form
Of course, Minnesota cannot be outside the playoff zone in the near future, but more recently it has already found itself on the eighth line of the Western Conference. At the moment, the team is ahead of the nearest pursuer by five points and can feel more or less comfortable. However, in any case, she needs to adjust her results as quickly as possible.
Now the savages are in bad shape and are going on a long series of three failures. After an unexpected 5-2 home win over Washington, they lost twice to New Jersey (2-5 and 2-3 B), and also lost to the Rangers 4-5 in overtime in a hard-fought away game. It is noteworthy that in the game with the cops, the team had the advantage twice, but failed to bring the matter to a victorious end.
Oddly enough, the most disastrous performance by Minnesota remains the third game period, in which it has a 79:87 ratio in scoring and missed goals. The club also continues to experience certain difficulties with the majority of the game and currently has only 20.5% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Irzicek, Eriksson Ek and Kaprizov will not be able to help the team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets an average of 7.46 minutes of penalty time per game.
- According to statistics, the savages block 14 shots.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches with the participation of the hosts, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.90Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
In the last three meetings against the Islanders, the guests scored goals in the second period.
1.55Tip and bets
We think that Minnesota is capable of claiming two points in this confrontation. She ended past head-to-head matches against the Islanders exclusively in her favor and often achieved victory within the regular time. The Islanders are in terrible shape right now and have previously lost match after match. Moreover, the Wild often show good results away from home this season.
Prediction - Minnesota wins with a handicap (0) in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
The Islanders had conceded at least three or four goals in most previous matches and showed mediocre play at their own goal. Minnesota usually uses its chances well in matches against such opponents and scores three goals on average. Do not forget that in the last four out of five meetings against the islanders, the guests scored at least three times.
We're betting on Minnesota's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.90
Bet on the total total
In this confrontation, we will expect at least six abandoned goals. Minnesota has been playing well in recent matches, and the fights with the Islanders have been spectacular, as they have allowed their opponents too much at their gates, but they have often scored about two or three goals in return.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.95
