American Hockey League. Playoffs 2024. Calder Cup. The series is to three victories, with the current score being 0-0. The second-to-last series of the ⅛ final which hasn't started yet, pits the fourth-ranked team from the Central Division against the top-rated team from the same division. Thus, the team with the top seed and bottom seed. The Texas "Stars" will host the Milwaukee "Admirals" in their hometown.
The farm club of Dallas had no problems in the first round, even though they were the fourth- and fifth-seeded team of the division and an equal competition was expected. But as a result, Texas seemed to walk all over Manitoba. In the first match, they won with a score of 6:3 in an all-out offensive display, while in the second match they won 2:0, a completely dry match.
Unlike many teams in this playoff, Texas "Stars", still lacks personnel from the main team because they are still performing in the NHL playoffs. Thus, it will be interesting to see how they fare in the second round.
The farm club of Nashville also cannot count on any support from the main team yet. However, they have been doing quite well on their own, with a confidently won Central Division, securing 97 points and a lead of 11 points over the second-place team.
The Admirals achieved these points with 47 wins, two losses in overtime, and another loss on penalties. The rest of the 22 matches were losses. They are notable as the division's best team both in goals scored - 238, and in goals conceded - 193. It seems that the "Admirals" simply have no opponents.
In this regular season, the Texas "Stars" and Milwaukee "Admirals" held eight meetings. Texas won three of these encounters, while Milwaukee was victorious in five.
Here, of course, I want to place my bet on a Milwaukee win as they could easily win the first match, especially with such a good coefficient on this outcome.
However, if you want a simpler bet, you could choose the ITO2 (2.5) for 1.71, as Milwaukee can easily score three goals, even in defeat.
