New York Islanders vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction: the Islanders have a better chance of winning

Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs Buffalo Sabres match which will take place on October 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Islanders have yet to play a game in the new NHL season - this will be their opener. But the Islanders have played six games in the off-season. The results could have been better. New York only won twice - 2:1 against Philadelphia and 5:3 against the Rangers. A run of three straight defeats followed those victories. The Islanders went down 3:0 to New Jersey the day before. Now, they have a golden opportunity to show themselves.

As for Buffalo, they have already played their first game of the new season. The result was disappointing - a heavy 5:1 defeat from the Rangers. No one is expecting anything from the Sabres this season, but for the most part, nothing has changed, and they are still losing in their style, conceding many goals. Before that, Buffalo lost to Pittsburgh in the pre-season, conceding seven goals in a 4:7 defeat.

We think the Islanders have a better chance of winning this one. Regardless of how the home team performed in pre-season, it will be a different brand of hockey, and they will have to give 100% in every game. With the support of their fans, the Islanders will be looking to start the season on the top, and their opponents are certainly up to the task. Buffalo is discouraged after a 5:1 defeat from the Rangers. That's why we're offering a home win.
