Ice hockey betting tips
Ice hockey is fast-paced, with possession changing sides rapidly and the puck moving up and down the rink at high speed. To make sure you don't feel like you're getting left behind, we've rounded up some ice hockey betting tips to help you make infor med decisions when you're browsing our odds:
- Check the head-to-head record: how have previous meetings between the two sides gone? Does one team dominate? How does the balance shift based on the venue – does one team get a boost when playing in front of their own fans, or are the opposition good travellers?
- Check the stats: stats aren't everything, but they can give you superb insight into how a team or player has been performing. There are tons of stats and ice hockey analytics out there that can give you an edge when it comes to placing your bet.
- Team form: simply, how is a team playing? Are they on an unbeaten run, or have they been on a losing streak? If the latter, are they a team with the talent to turn it round or is this just the middle of a long-term slump?
- Injuries: injuries are a big deal in any sport but have an especially big impact on a fast and physical game like ice hockey. Make sure to look at if a team has their star players available and fully fit – it's always important to know who'll be playing in the next game.
