Hockey betting
A game day in major hockey leagues usually consists of two or more matches, in which all teams are divided into host and guest groups. Based on the results of all fights, statistical indicators are calculated, which allow us to conclude about the advantage of the teams in terms of goals scored, penalty minutes or shots. And bookmakers allow you to bet on these statistics, to choose the success of the hosts or guests according to one criterion or another. But you need to understand that almost all statistical features seriously depend on the site on which the game is taking place, which teams are performing. What should you pay close attention to in order not to miss a bet?

Statistics of the day in the NHL and KHL
The two largest hockey leagues in the world at the moment are very similar to each other in terms of features, since over time, their boundaries begin to blur. And yet, the differences that separate one competition from another are visible, they should definitely be taken into account.
In the KHL “bottom” – in the NHL “top”
In one of the materials about the advantages of a small site, it was said that in the NHL, all teams play their matches at sites of the “Canadian” format. This predisposes to high scores in matches. In the KHL, however, everything is somewhat different. Firstly, one can complain about the large grounds, which force us to pay more attention to wrestling and defense. Secondly, you need to understand the level of performing skills, in North America – it is much higher. It turns out that in the KHL, you can safely load the “grassroots” total, and in the NHL, days with low performance are very rare.
Bets on the number of clean sheets are connected with this – you need to pay attention to the league. If in the KHL very often some teams close, or the opponent lacks technical equipment, then often the favorite's goal remains intact.

In the NHL, the level of teams is so high that even an outsider usually snaps and scores a few goals.
A large number of draws
After the transition to the “two-point” system, the teams began to soberly assess that success in overtime and shootouts brings exactly the same amount as victory in regular time. Therefore, the teams began to act more carefully when defending their own possessions, preferring to securely score one point in order to risk losing everything. Therefore, a consistently large number of matches are completed outside of regular time.
Another important point, the bullet series has become extremely small. This is due to the fact that it is in these competitions that overtime is held in the “three by three” format. In such conditions, teams very often get the opportunity to run away “two to zero”, so it very rarely comes to a shootout. If the total over 0.5 can still be broken, then the total over 1.5 remains almost always unapproachable.

The number of penalty minutes varies greatly
In the KHL, there has long been a tendency to reduce the number of two-minute suspensions. The teams do not want to give their opponents such a big advantage, so they play very carefully. In the NHL, due to the peculiarities of the site and the league itself, it is impossible to play with such discipline.
[stextbox id = 'info'] In the KHL most often the total by the number of penalty minutes does not break through, but in the NHL the teams exchange it with a large margin. [/ stextbox]
Numerical Majority Performs Better in the NHL
Here we are not talking about the percentage of excess sales, but about the number of pucks that were abandoned in the majority. In the KHL, total is very rarely broken through, since there are much fewer attempts themselves. But in the NHL, teams have been betting on this particular element for a long time, because they are well aware of the advantage it can bring them. In some matches, there are more than three goals in unequal compositions, but in the KHL, only a few teams can boast of the same implementation.

Statistics betting in other leagues
The rest of the leagues can be combined into one large group, since they exhibit almost identical features and patterns that are not always inherent in the KHL and NHL.
Home playground is the key to success
In those leagues where the level of teams is very close to each other, a situation often arises in which it is not the strength of the team that comes to the fore, but various additional factors. One of these can be called the home site, where the owners rarely misfire. Even the weakest teams of the competition are distinguished by excellent performance in their native walls. Therefore, it makes no sense to flirt with the winner by the number of goals scored, it is advisable to bet on the handicap.
Draws are extremely rare
In the rest of the championships the system of “three” points, so the teams take risks much more often. For this reason, the number of goals thrown in the last minutes of the match, as well as in the empty net, is increasing. But the games practically do not go beyond the playing time. The teams try to solve everything in three periods.
