We leave you the forecast for the match between Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers that will be held this October 19 (local time) on the occasion of the NHL regular season. We are going to tell you under what conditions the rivals arrive and then suggest several betting options.
Dallas Stars
In the last game, Dallas’ four-game winning streak was interrupted. Let us remember that it was weaker than Washington as a visitor, with a score of 2-3. Two games earlier, the Stars had beaten Seattle (2-0) and then San Jose in a penalty shootout (3-2). Thus, with eight points, the Stars dropped to second place in the Western Conference standings.
Edmonton Oilers
McDavid and company are finally waking up. The team has already begun the path to correct an extremely poor start to the season. Thus, in the last two games, the Oilers have managed to add four points to their tally, first beating Philadelphia 4-3 (TE), and then Nashville (4-2). With this, the Oilers have risen in the West standings. They are now 13th and are two points away from the playoff zone.
Match history
Data to take into account
- Dallas has won 8 of its last 11 games in regulation time;
- Dallas has conceded 2 or fewer goals in 8 of its last 11 games.
Betting and forecast
Here we suggest not going into the results, but rather betting on efficiency, or rather on the lack of goals. We cannot say that opponents occasionally delight fans with abundant goals in their head-to-head matches. Thus, the most standard Total was broken in only two of the last five games. Additionally, the Stars know who their opponents are, so they will have to play defensive hockey. In general, we suggest betting that teams will not score more than six goals.
Forecast: Total minus (6).
