Command Analysis
Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah is currently in 11th position in the Western Conference and has earned a combined 84 points. Unfortunately, the team will no longer be able to qualify for the playoffs, but the club has already had a pretty good first season in the NHL. From time to time, the team produced excellent periods during which it could deal with almost any opponent, but it still lacked stability.
At the end of the regular season, Andre Turigny's team also got into great shape and won Victoria in four of the previous five matches. So, on his ice, he beat Calgary (3:1), and after an unsuccessful match against Los Angeles (2:4) proved his superiority over Winnipeg (4:1) and literally defeated Seattle with a score of 7:1. Thus, in three meetings out of four, the Salt Lake club remained with less than two missed pucks.
Utah is most successful in the opening twenty minutes, in which it has a 64:52 ratio in goals scored and conceded, but it is not always able to keep the advantage it has gained.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vyalimyaki, Marino, Kerfoot and O'Brien will not help the team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Utah holds an average of 18 power moves.
- According to statistics, Utah gets 9.32 minutes of penalty time.
Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
Nashville had big plans for this season, but they were not destined to come true. The team remained one of the main outsiders of the Western Conference and gained a foothold on the 14th line of the standings, which it will definitely remain on until the end of the regular season. At the same time, unlike the opponent, the predators continue to show disastrous results and usually cannot win more than one victory in a row.
Recently, they were completely faced with a series of six failures, during which they lost only within the regular time. Fortunately, after defeats to Columbus (4:8), Dallas (1:5) and Montreal (1:2), the Predators came to their senses and, with the support of the home stands, proved their superiority over the Islanders in an incredibly stubborn fight with a score of 7:6 in overtime. In that match, they were also on the verge of defeat, but they were able to win back the two-goal gap just a few minutes before the end of the third period.
This does not happen often for Andrew Brunett's squad, as it often has difficulty realizing chances and remains with less than three goals scored.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jozy, Lauzon, Wilsbu and Sissons will not be able to participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Nashville gets an average of 9.46 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, predators win 51.4% of face-offs.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches with the participation of the hosts, the first period was inconclusive.
1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In three out of five meetings, Utah was successful in the second leg.
2.20Tip and bets
In our opinion, Utah can claim two points in this confrontation. The team has recently performed well with the support of the home stands and dealt with many opponents with a difference of several goals. Nashville, on the other hand, showed weak results and narrowly avoided defeat in the final meeting, so we doubt that the predators are now ready to give a worthy rebuff to their counterpart.
Prediction - Utah wins in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Nashville often has problems creating and executing chances, and in matches with similar teams, it usually remains with less than three goals in the asset. Utah, in turn, demonstrated reliable defensive play in previous meetings and often did not allow opponents to score three goals. If the hosts play in a similar style, they won't miss much again.
We're betting on Nashville's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the total total
Past fights with Utah have not been as effective, if you don't take into account the single cases when she scored a lot herself. The last face-to-face meeting between the clubs took place with only four goals scored. It is likely that this time we will also witness more closed hockey, so we suggest betting less on total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.15
