Columbus vs Anaheim Prediction: Match of Two Equal Teams

Prediction for the NHL match, which will take place on October 25th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Columbus

The Blue Jackets were prepared for the new season by Mike Babcock. Maybe that's why the team got off to such a good start. Columbus has already beaten the New York Rangers (5-3) and Calgary (3-1). In the last game, they defeated Minnesota on the road - 5-4 in overtime. Clearly, Columbus was the underdog in all of these meetings, but they managed to refute that status. Also, the Blue Jackets' two losses to start the championship came on their home ice - at Philadelphia (2-4) and Detroit (4-0).

Anaheim

The Ducks also fired head coach Dallas Eakins at the end of last season and replaced him with Greg Cronin. So far, the shakeup has not borne fruit. Anaheim beat Carolina 6-3, but that was a back-to-back game. The other four matches they failed in regulation time - to Vegas (4-1), Dallas (3-2), Arizona (2-1) and Boston (3-1). The Ducks' perspectives for this season are understandably not very promising.

Expect Betting Tips

• Anaheim has lost just two of the last 11 road games to Columbus in regulation.
• The Ducks have scored more than six goals in four of the last five meetings.

At the beginning of the championship, Columbus seems overachieving, while Anaheim seems underachieving. Why shouldn't this situation be resolved in the upcoming game? After all, the teams' playing is not very different, and the statistics of the H2H meetings speak in favor of the Ducks. We bet on the visitors and TU as well. Contrary to the statistics, we do not believe in a high-scoring game, considering the poor offense of both teams.
