The most interesting game of the day
In the NHL playoffs, the Carolina Hurricanes suffer from a somewhat chronic fear of away games. In the quarterfinal series opening the spring playoffs against the New York Islanders, Carolina beat the Islanders at home in the opening two games 2–1 (expected goals 3.5–2.5) and 4–3 in overtime (expected 2.3–2.7), but in the third game played in New York, outright collapse 1-5 (also expected Islanders 4.5-2.5).
The difference between Carolina’s home and away appearances is a direct continuation from last season. At that time, the team could not win a single away game against Boston and the New York Rangers and finally fell to the Rangers in the quarterfinals with a 3–4 win. Last season, the goal difference in the road games of the playoffs was 10–26 negative for Carolina.
Even though the first away game against the Islanders wasn’t decided until the end of the third period, Carolina still seems to be plagued by the same shyness problems as last season. At home, you do well with the skill game, but away from home, you are left with a hard time. Carolina got a tougher and more experienced guard for this season by Brent Burns, Max Pacioretty and Paul Stastny in terms of. Of these, Pacioretty has been on the sidelines for practically the entire season due to injury, and the other leaders haven’t really stepped into the picture yet either.
They are also currently making a very significant dent in Carolina’s playing power Teuvo Teräväinen and Andrei Svetshnikov the interventions. Neither Antti Raantaa should not be considered as good a goalkeeper as an injured first choice Frederik Andersen. Especially away from home, the lack of firepower can be seen more in the playoffs than in regular season matches.
In practice, the New York Islanders get to tonight’s match with their best possible lineup. Just a minor role Oliver Wahlstrom is missing. You can also count the momentum of the series, which has now been transferred to the Islanders, after the team took its last opening win on top of two away losses.
In terms of betting, this is definitely where the Islanders’ successes taste best. Although Carolina was better than the Islanders in regular season matches that went to overtime or shootouts (Carolina 13/9 and Islanders 6/9), the 1.72 offered for the final victory of the Islanders is a more pleasant target than the 2.26 of the actual game time. This is because the match is allowed to expect very few goals and the decision may very well be extended to the extra rounds. In terms of goal coefficients, Veikkaus has been able to price the match just right, with the main goal line as low as 4.75 goals. New York Islanders–Carolina starts at 8 p.m.
The best betting tip of the day
Sunday’s best long-shot search can be found in La Liga’s Barcelona-Atletico Madrid top fight. You can reasonably expect a tight and low-scoring match from this match.
Barcelona’s home record from La Liga matches this season is almost confusing: the team has scored only two goals in 14 matches at Camp Nou! Also, the goal average in Barcelona’s home matches is exceptionally low for a team known for its attacking style of play, especially at home. In Barca’s home matches this season, only 2.07 goals have been scored on average per game.
At the beginning of the season, playing for Atletico Madrid was a long process, and especially the familiar defensive sureness shone through its absence. However, in the spring half of the series, Diego Simeone’s team has found its style again and the balance of its thirteen previous matches is a wild 10–3–0. Atletico have scored only seven own goals in 14 matches this calendar year.
From these points of view, the goal celebration in this Barcelona–Atletico Madrid match would come as a real surprise. The first mutual meeting of the season in Madrid ended with a 1–0 victory for Barcelona. The 1.65 offered for under 2.5 goals is at least a borderline case. The match starts at 17:15.
