Winnipeg Jets vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction: Don’t expect many goals

Prediction for the NHL Winnipeg Jets vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on November 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Winnipeg looked weak in the last regular season and had to change their head coach. The new coach was appointed Rick Bowness, has a remarkable ability to work with troubled teams. In their first five games, the Canadians only won two games, but in the next ten, they won eight times, again losing to Vegas 1:2 in overtime and only to Calgary 2:3 without points. Such solid results allowed Winnipeg to enter the fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

Pittsburgh has the opposite situation. They did not dare to go for personnel changes in the off-season, so now they suffer. They looked respectable in their regular season debut, winning four games in five, but difficulties followed. Mike Sullivan's men managed only three wins in the next 12 meetings: first, they beat Washington 4:1, then Toronto FC twice more, 4:2 and 6:4. That was the end of the Penguins' exploits, and they dropped to 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Winnipeg has had a surprisingly strong start to the regular season, and the Jets have looked particularly strong at home, where they have now played seven games in which they have scored six wins - the best record in the league for points at home. Pittsburgh cannot boast similar statistics; the Penguins are not playing their best and have lost nine times in the previous 12 meetings. As a result, we have to bet on Winnipeg to win the match at odds of about 2.

The rivalry between Winnipeg and Pittsburgh has not been very productive of late. In the previous five head-to-head encounters, the opponents combined for only 26 goals (5.20 average per game), while four were through total under (80%). In such a situation, it is worth looking at a bet on the total under 6.5 pucks at odds of 1.61, and you can bet on Josh Morrissey's total over 0.5 points for 1.55.
