The Islanders of New York showed good form by defeating Boston and have a chance to also beat St. Louis. The Blues have been inconsistent on the road, and yesterday's tough match could affect their performance. Two games in less than 24 hours is a heavy load. Considering St. Louis' rest and New York's quick preparation, the Islanders have a high chance of winning. Therefore, my prediction is a victory for the New York Islanders in regulation time.
In the Europa League match between "Sporting" and "Atalanta" at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon, an exciting clash between two attacking teams is expected. Both teams prefer to play openly and are focused on scoring goals. Sporting will have the advantage of playing at their home stadium, which could impact the outcome of the match. At the same time, Atalanta boasts quality attackers and is capable of creating dangerous moments. However, both teams may face defensive problems, which could lead to a lack of goals. Furthermore, the history of matchups shows that games between these teams often end with a relatively low total. Therefore, in this match, it is likely that the total goals will be less than 5.5.
My prediction for the match between the New York Islanders and the St. Louis Blues is Total over 5.5 goals. Both teams have strong attacking lines, their key players are in good form. In addition, both teams have defensive issues, which increases the likelihood of goals. St. Louis is playing their second game in two days, which could affect their fatigue and the nature of the game. An open and high-scoring game is expected.
In the match between the Islanders and St. Louis, a tense battle is expected as both teams are vying for the playoffs and are on winning streaks. St. Louis is showing solid play and quick recovery ability. Furthermore, the team hasn't scored more than 3 goals since February, which indicates a desire to improve performance. Taking this into account, it is likely that the visitors will be able to score three or more goals in this game.
