Detroit vs Anaheim Prediction: the Wings to Stop the Ducks

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Detroit vs Anaheim, which will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Detroit

Todd McLellan has a lot to think about after his team's performance in the last two games. Detroit had been on a seven-game winning streak, but then they lost to Tampa and Minnesota. The opponents were strong, but this could be a sign of more problems to come. The Red Wings are in the playoff zone with 62 points, which is a pretty good result. Columbus has the same number of points, so Detroit can't get complacent.

Anaheim

The Ducks were an underdog at the start of the season, but now they're contenders for the playoffs, which is weird. They've got a mathematical chance of making it, sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference, seven points behind Vancouver. The big question is how long the Ducks' winning streak will last. They obviously won't be able to win 20 games out of the remaining 29, but Greg Cronin's team are approaching the upcoming game with a series of four wins, having beaten Montreal, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Boston.

H2H Meetings

Detroit has a hard time with Anaheim, though. In the last five head-to-head games, the Red Wings have recorded two wins against the Ducks' three.

For the total over (5.5) pucks, the odds are 1.91, and for the reverse line with a total under, the odds are 1.971.

Expert Betting Tips

Even though Anaheim is in great shape, we think the first team will win. The Ducks' next game will be the second game in a day, after an exhausting game against Boston. Detroit had more time to recover. Also, the game's being played at Little Caesars Arena, where the home team has won seven of the last ten games, so we suggest not making anything up and betting on a clean win for the Red Wings.
