Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators Prediction and Betting Tips (23.04.2025)

Command Analysis

Toronto Maple Leafs

Canada

Current form

Throughout the regular season, Toronto showed excellent results and, due to this, was consistently at the top of the Eastern Conference and was even able to compete with Washington for leadership, but still had to settle for the second position. What is especially noteworthy is that at the end of the regular season, the team gained its best form, which it demonstrated from match to match, and approached the playoffs, having a winning streak of five matches in a row.

As part of the Stanley Cup, the team continued to delight the fans with their great game and defeated Ottawa with a score of 6 in the first match.:2. By the middle of the second period, the leafs were able to earn a significant three-goal advantage, which they easily held until the very end of the meeting. Many players distinguished themselves by their effective actions, but in particular it is worth praising striker Marner, who scored the puck and provided two assists.

Ottawa Senators

Canada

Current form

This Ottawa season can already be considered a success. For six years in a row, the team could not get a ticket to the playoffs and finally achieved the long-awaited result. Indeed, throughout the regular season, the Senators showed a good game and consistently coped with opponents of their level, and occasionally even beat the strongest clubs in the league, which eventually allowed them to finish the tournament in sixth place in the Eastern Conference table.

However, in the very first round of the playoffs, I had to fight one of the contenders for the cup in the person of Toronto. As expected, the senators were unable to match such a powerful competitor and were defeated with a score of 2.:6. Green's men tried their best to compensate for defensive lapses and made 33 shots at the Leafs' goal in three periods, but their accuracy left much to be desired. Goalkeeper Ullmark also showed his worst side, reflecting only 75% of shots.

Disqualifications and injuries

Only Haughston remains in the infirmary and he may still have time to recover.

Tip and bets

2.49Ottawa's victory in the match

Bookmakers in the upcoming match do not believe in the success of Ottawa and give a huge coefficient for its victory, which can be easily used. As you can see, in the first match of the series, the Senators played no worse than their competitor, but they were seriously unlucky with the implementation of attacking chances, which cannot be said about the Maple Leafs. It is also worth paying attention to face-to-face meetings, in which senators are very often successful. We believe that the guests are quite capable of fighting back and even equalizing the score.

Our prediction is that Ottawa will win the match in 2.49

Bet on the total

Also, we should definitely expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. Both teams are not used to holing up on the defensive and are trying to show their attacking potential to the fullest, which makes meetings with the clubs very productive.

Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.88

Betting on the outcome of the first period

Toronto, with the support of the fans and due to its superiority over its opponent, may well create problems for Ottawa again in the first period. We believe that the hosts will earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment, which is what we suggest betting on.

Prediction - Toronto wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.61
