Vancouver vs Columbus Prediction: the Canucks Will Keep Points At Home

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Vancouver vs Columbus, which will take place on December 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vancouver

Vancouver might not be the most stable team, but still manages to win more often. This is what allows them to be in the playoff zone of the Western Conference. It's worth mentioning that the Canucks are happy with seventh place, ahead of eighth-placed Edmonton, who have the same points (30) and the same goal difference (78:77). Vancouver is in good shape overall. In the last five games, they beat Boston, Buffalo and Detroit, but Pittsburgh and Minnesota had a bit of a tough time.

Columbus

Columbus had a good ten-game run, but by the end of it, the team was clearly feeling the effects. In the first half of the stretch, the Jackets had four victories, but in the second half they could only secure two – over Calgary and Chicago. So, the Blue Jackets are battling it out for a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Before the game with Vancouver, Columbus is in 11th place, two points behind the eighth Rangers.

Expert Betting Tips

We think the first team will succeed. The Canucks have been more convincing this season, and they'll be playing at home, which should give them a significant advantage. Columbus has had a tough time on the road, winning only three out of 13 games. Given all this, we think it's best to stick to the hosts and go for a victory.
