Ottawa Senators - Toronto Maple Leafs: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL Championship playoffs, a match between Ottawa and Toronto will take place on May 2. The Senators have saved the previous two matches for themselves, but they are still losing in this series. Nevertheless, in the last game, the Senators very confidently dealt with their opponent with a score of 4:0. Can they succeed at home? What should I bet on? Look for answers to these questions in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa initially looked capable of forcing a tight fight on its opponent in the opening round. It should be noted that the team reserved all face-to-face matches during the regular season exclusively for themselves and often dealt with the leaves within the regular time. However, the Senators failed three opening meetings, so now they have to get out of an unpleasant situation.
However, the club does not give up and continues to actively fight. Let's remind that before that, Travis Green's team had defeated their opponent with a score of 4:3 in overtime on their ice, and already on the road in the fifth match of the series they proved their superiority with a score of 4.:0. Oddly enough, in the last game the team was left without a single missed goal, and Linus Ullmark showed an incredible game and parried a total of 29 shots.
Then Ottawa took great advantage of its chances to score in equal squads, and also scored one of the goals in the minority. The most productive player in this series is Brady Tkachuk, who has already earned six points in the goal+ pass system and continues to delight fans with vivid hockey.

Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto clearly had no plans to prolong the series with Ottawa. The team was missing quite a bit in the fourth match for success, because in that case it could get additional rest days and already expect another opponent in the second round. However, now the initiative is gradually passing into the hands of the opponent, and morally it will not be so easy to end this confrontation in his favor.
Moreover, the leafs always count on their perfect offensive game and try to create as many dangerous chances as possible, so if they fail offensively, they often concede by a few goals. By the way, in the last match, Craig Berube's team failed to take advantage of even a single attempt from most of the three, although he had no problems with this before. So, within the framework of this series, Toronto has 31.1% of excess sales.
As a rule, the third game period is the most unsuccessful for the team, in which it has a 4:7 ratio in scoring and conceding goals and almost always allows the opponent to distinguish himself.

1.48Tip and bets
We think that Ottawa can also claim a favorable outcome in the upcoming match. The Senators sensed the weakness of their opponent and it was no coincidence that they won such a big victory in the final meeting. Now the initiative is gradually passing into the hands of the owners of the site. Toronto will clearly not act as confidently as before, but Green's wards, with the support of their stands, should cling to this opportunity and bring it to the seventh match.
Prediction - Ottawa wins in 2.50
Betting on an individual total
We expect to see at least three goals from the home team. Ottawa has been showing good performance in this series and has scored at least three goals in the last two matches. In addition, Toronto itself makes a lot of mistakes in its own zone and gives itself a lot of chances to score.
We bet on Ottawa's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.77
Bet on the total total
The matches between the clubs are quite spectacular and often take place with six goals scored. Toronto will surely continue to play in their usual style and seek their fortune in the offensive zone. Ottawa, in turn, is also not at all against such hockey and is ready to play on opposite courses, so it makes sense to put more on the total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
