Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers: The Oilers will surprise again

Prediction for the NHL Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers match, which will take place on January 26. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Canucks are four points behind in the playoffs. They are currently sitting in the penultimate position in the Pacific Division table, with 40 points. If the home team wins in the upcoming game, they'll move up at least one spot. Vancouver first suffered a very upsetting loss to Florida in a penalty shot in the last two games and then lost to St. Louis by two pucks.

The Oilers finally won. They had been winless for seven games in a row but managed to turn things around in their last match by beating Calgary with a score of 5:3. In our opinion, their win will be a kind of boost for the team that they desperately need. Edmonton is in a similar situation to Vancouver in the Pacific Division standings, four points behind in the playoffs.

We'll favour the visitors in this pairing. Edmonton won after seven games. After that, the team was clearly in the mood. Also, in 2021, the opponents met as many as 14 times, of which the Oilers were stronger in ten. This suggests that Edmonton is a very uncomfortable opponent for Vancouver. We believe that an excellent betting option is for the second team to win the match.
