Edmonton vs Anaheim Prediction: the Oilers to Outplay the Ducks

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Edmonton vs Anaheim, which will take place on March 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton

Edmonton finally gave fans a win they'd been waiting a long time for. At one time, everything was going great for the Oilers – Connor McDavid's team had a crazy pace and were racking up win after win, not noticing their opponents. But then, things went a bit wrong way and they lost five games on the bounce. But the team turned things around, and they beat the strong Carolina team 3-1. Edmonton is currently in fourth place in the West with 74 points and is a strong contender for the Stanley Cup.

Anaheim

Anaheim should be commended for their performance this season. It doesn't matter if the Ducks end up in the playoffs or not. Greg Cronin is already getting the most out of the roster, and with 59 points, his team is 12th in the Western Conference standings, with a shot to break into the wild-card race. But, the Ducks have had a bit of a slump recently, losing the last three games in a row. The day before, they lost to Chicago 3-6.

Edmonton and Anaheim have played each other twice this season, with the Ducks stronger first (5-3) and then the Oilers (3-2).

Expert Betting Tips

But the night before, Edmonton got a really important win that'll boost their spirits and attitude. This 3-1 win against Carolina could be a turning point for the Oilers, allowing the team to return to their previous level and start a new winning streak. And the perfect opponent for this goal is Anaheim, who can't be called an outsider, but are still much weaker in class and composition. On top of that, the Ducks have lost four previous games at Rogers Place, including this season. We don't think the team will take their opponent lightly, and we're backing them to win.
