Vancouver vs Montreal: the confrontation of equal teams.
Vancouver Canucks
Montreal Canadiens
On January 21, "Vancouver" will again try to end its losing streak against "Montreal", and we will give an accurate prediction for this match. Do the "Canucks" have a chance?
Vancouver Canucks
"Vancouver" performed well last year, taking the seventh place in the Western Conference standings, as well as confidently performing in the draw itself. In the play-offs, the "Canucks" could beat "Minnesota" (3:1) and "St. Louis" (4:2) in the series. Only "Vegas" managed to stop the "Canadians" in the quarterfinals.
This season started badly for the "Nucks". The team already had three matches and each of them turned out to be devastating. Vancouver could score only two goals, which is completely unusual for the team. The defense is also suffering, 13 missed goals in three matches is too much.
Upcoming Predictions for Hockey
Montreal Canadiens
The first match of this year turned out to be very difficult for "Montreal". The team met a serious opponent in the face of "Toronto" on "Toronto" ice, where they lost in overtime with a score of 4:5. Both clubs looked like completely equal opponents playing open hockey, which led to a large number of goals.
But the other two matches of the new season "Canadians" won. "Montreal" twice managed to beat "Edmonton" at away matches (1:5 and 1:3). Once more the attacking line performed perfectly, and both goalkeepers Price and Allen were at their best, each reflecting more than 96% of the shots.
Statistics
- "Vancouver" lost four out of six matches on its ice.
- "Montreal" lost one match out of five away matches.
- "Montreal" prevailed in four previous away head-to-head matches.
Our Prediction
There is no faith in Vancouver's victory at all. The team performed too weak at the start of the season, so it is too dangerous to bet even on its individual total. In contrast to its opponent, "Montreal" performed much better, and the "Canadians" also play great at away matches. So the best choice would be the victory of "Montreal".
Our prediction is a victory for "Montreal" with odds of 2.26 on 1xbet.
