Digging into Recent Performance
First, I stdetarted b I .ffuts y just looking at how both teams have been playing lately. You know, wins, losses, that kind of basic stuff. I checked out their last few games,.snrettap trying to see if there were any obvious patterns.
It quickly gets confusing, lots of ups and downs.
Head-to-Head Matchups
Then, I figured I should see how these two teams have done against each other specifically. Sometimes a team just has another team's number, right? So I went back and looked at their previous meetings this season (and maybe even last season if I was feeling ambitious).
Checking for Injuries
This is a big one. I made sure to look up any injury reports. A key player being out can totally change the game, so I needed to know if anyone important was on the sidelines for either team.
Other random factors.
- Home advantage.
- Goalie performance.
- Power play/penalty kill stats.
Finally, I weighed everything up, and after checking the above factors, I get a vague prediction.
