Vegas has gradually regained confidence after several unsuccessful meetings and is returning home with three wins in a row. Utah, on the other hand, is completing a long trip, during which she regularly lost points. Our betting tip takes into account the good organization of the game of the hosts in recent matches, and the bet assumes their victory in regular time
Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
Tomas Gertl became the protagonist of the Golden Knights' last meeting, in which the team beat Buffalo with a score of 4:1. The Czech striker scored a double in the third period, finally depriving the opponent of a chance to save. Earlier, Mitch Marner scored in the minority, and Jack Eikel increased the advantage of the guests. Goalkeeper Edin Hill played a solid match, deflecting 27 shots. For Vegas, this victory was the third in a row and allowed them to successfully complete the away series.
Ryan Craig's team has noticeably improved their defensive game. Before the meeting with Buffalo, they managed to beat Detroit (2:1) and Pittsburgh (3:2), and in both cases the opponents could not create a large number of dangerous moments. Gertl scores points over the course of four matches, and Marner successfully performs the role of one of the main organizers of attacks. At the same time, Vegas is increasingly betting on the reliability of defense, not trying to constantly maintain a high pace.
Utah Mammoth
Despite the poor results, Logan Cooley continues to impress with its effectiveness. The striker scored two hat-tricks during the last away series, and scored eight goals in six meetings. Clayton Keller is also a regular contributor, scoring nine points in the last five games. However, even the good form of the leaders did not help Mammoth avoid defeats from Montreal (4:5 OT) and Ottawa (2:4).
In the game against the Canadian team, Andre Turigny's team restored equality twice, but missed the decisive goal less than three minutes before the siren. Utah was quite active on offense and made 32 shots on target, but the realization failed. The main advantage of the guests remains the majority, which ranks second in the league in terms of efficiency with an indicator of 37.1%. At the same time, defender Nate Schmidt is experiencing health problems, and his participation in the upcoming match remains questionable.
Utah is wrapping up a six-game away streak, and this could prove to be a serious test against the backdrop of recent results. The team regularly creates chances, but it does not always have enough reliability when playing without the puck. Vegas is able to take advantage of such problems, especially if it succeeds in operating successfully in the middle zone again. In the last three meetings, the hosts have conceded only four goals, and Hill has noticeably improved in reliability. Therefore, it will not be easy for Mammoth to constantly maintain pressure, even if there is a strong majority.
For the Golden Knights, the upcoming match will be their first home match after a long trip. The team returns in good condition, with recent victories achieved without the need to constantly take risks on offense. Aikel, Gertl and Marner are able to create dangerous moments due to individual skill, while the defense of the guests periodically makes mistakes. We hope that Vegas will be able to make better use of its opportunities and continue its successful streak. At the same time, the rather cautious nature of recent meetings allows us to expect a victory without a large number of abandoned goals.
