Philadelphia Flyers vs San Jose Sharks: the Sharks are Preferable

Prediction for the NHL Philadelphia vs San Jose match, which will take place on January 9 at 03:00. Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

Philadelphia has few chances to reach the playoffs as the difference between it, and the fourth Pittsburgh is 13 points. Moreover, with the game the playing demonstrates, there are none. The Flyers have lost in the last four games, and the series of failures began with a defeat against San Jose (2:3 with overtime). Will Philadelphia take revenge on the Sharks and start a winning streak? After that, the Flyers lost to Los Angeles (3:6), Anaheim (1:4) and Pittsburgh (2:6).

San Jose successfully held the first part of the back-to-back, beating Buffalo away with a score of 3:2. However, this tour does not end. The Sharks do not show the best playing on the road – one win and two losses in the previous three away games. 

The situation in the Pacific Division is extremely tense. Four teams are fighting hard for the fourth position at once - Edmonton with 38 points, Los Angeles and San Jose with 37, and Vancouver with 35. It's impossible for the Sharks to relax now.

The bookmakers could not pick the favourite, but we will take a chance and prefer the visiting team. To be honest, Philadelphia has been unfortunate lately – four defeats in five games, not the most acceptable result. Is this how the team is going to catch up with Pittsburgh? San Jose is still hoping to get into the top 4. We think that the Sharks will earn the points for themselves, but we bet on their victory just in case. Prediction: San Jose wins the match.
