Columbus - Florida: betting tip (cf. 1.90) and bets on the NHL match

Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

Recently, home meetings have been much more successful for the Blue Jackets than away meetings. Rick Bowness's team unexpectedly defeated Colorado with a score of 7:2, with Charlie Coyle scoring a double and four points. They then managed to beat Dallas (2-1 B) when Zach Werensky equalized three minutes before the end of the third period. However, it was not possible to consolidate the success in the next match. Columbus lost to Buffalo 2-5, conceding three goals in the second twenty minutes.
Despite some bright performances, the hosts still lack stability in the attack. In four of the last five matches, the team scored no more than two goals, and the defeat of Colorado was the only exception. Kent Johnson continues to score points regularly, and Werensky tries to support attacks from deep. At the same time, the defense does not always cope with fast opponents, which is especially noticeable in away matches.

Forty-one shots on goal by Boston brought Florida only one abandoned goal. Paul Maurice's team lost 1-4, although they created enough chances for a more successful result. Carter Verhaeghi scored the only goal, while Jeremy Swayman blocked 40 shots. The defeat was the second in a row after an unsuccessful meeting with Washington (3:4), where Brady Tkachuk's double also did not help to avoid losing points.
However, the Panthers' offensive capabilities remain serious. Before the last two defeats, the team beat Chicago (5:3) and Winnipeg (5:2), and even earlier scored five goals for the same Winnipeg on the road. Matthew Tkachuk continues to successfully organize attacks, while Sam Reinhart and Verheghi are able to effectively complete combinations. The situation is complicated by the absence of Alexander Barkov and Brad Marchand, but the other leaders have enough skill to create dangerous moments.
Tip and bets
In October, Florida already came to Columbus and won a convincing victory with a score of 7:3. Then Brady Tkachuk scored a hat-trick, and his brother Matthew scored five assists. Of course, it's not easy to count on a repeat of such a big advantage, especially after two defeats by the guests. However, that match showed how hard it is for the hosts to resist the strong majority of the Panthers. Now Columbus is also regularly experiencing problems with the organization of defense, and its offense is not always able to compensate for missed goals.
At the same time, Florida's recent failures cannot be explained solely by a weak game. The team created enough chances against Boston, but faced a great performance from the opposing goalkeeper. Columbus has no such guarantees of reliability, so guests can count on a more successful implementation. An additional argument is the experience of the leading Panthers hockey players, who know how to achieve results in difficult situations. We expect a stubborn confrontation, but we choose the victory of Florida, taking into account overtime and shootouts.
Our betting tip is that Florida will win the match in 1.90
