This choice is a “no-brainer” so far in this series. Play-off hockey tends to be more cautious, but these two opponents are not looking at it yet. • Facts: A total of 32 goals have been scored in the 5 games of the series so far, an average of 6.4 goals per game. • Assumption: Vary are playing for everything at home, they have to attack. Liberec has deadly breaks and power plays. The 5-goal limit should fall quite calmly. Handicap in the match: Liberec +1.5 This is your “safety cushion”. As we explained, the bet wins even if Liberec narrowly loses by one goal. • Facts: Liberec has a 3:2 lead in the series. They are the more experienced team in key playoff moments. • Assumption: Even if Vary wins at home by a narrow margin (e.g. 3:2), your ticket is still alive. Liberec has the quality to not be “shot” by a high margin. The only risk is Varia’s play into the empty net at the end, if Liberec loses by a goal. Each team will score 1 or more goals in the match: Yes The easiest part of the ticket. • Facts: In the entire series, not once did a team come up empty-handed (didn’t score a goal). • Prerequisite: Both teams have elite scorers in their lineup. The probability of the match ending 5-0 or 0-5 is minimal at this stage of the season. Verdict Tiket is based on the high productivity of both teams and the fact that Liberec will not allow the home side any major debacle. Odds of 2.49 are very good value considering how the series is shaping up so far.
