Columbus vs Vancouver Prediction: the Opponents Desperately Need a Win

Prediction for the NHL Columbus vs Vancouver match, which will take place on October 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Columbus has had a terrible start to the current campaign. They have three losses in three games. Sure, the Blue Jackets' opponents were of a higher class, but still. First, they lost on the road to Carolina with a score of 1:4, then at home to Tampa Bay 2:5, and last game on the road to St. Louis (2:5). Now let's see what Columbus can do against an equal opponent.

Vancouver opened the season much like their current opponent. The Canucks also had three losses. Yes, their opponents were tough too, but Philadelphia was among them and it was possible to earn at least one point. But no - Vancouver lost on the road (2:3). They also failed away from home to Edmonton (3:5) and Washington (4:6).

We think it's worth betting on the TO in this meeting. The opponents have had a terrible start to the season, with three defeats each, and now they need to gain points as a matter of urgency. That's why we expect a lot of action and plenty of goals. In addition, in the last two head-to-head games, the teams reached an ordinary over - they will probably do it now as well.

Prediction: total over (5.5).
