Anaheim vs Philadelphia Prediction: the Ducks are Still the Outsider

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Philadelphia Flyers match, which will take place on January 3rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anaheim is no longer the weakest team in the NHL but still wears such a status. Ahead of the game with Philadelphia, the Ducks have 24 points, sitting in penultimate place in the West and the last in the Pacific Division. In their previous two games, Anaheim first sensationally defeated Vegas (3-2), then lost to Nashville at home by five pucks (1-6).

Philadelphia will not reach the playoffs this season. The team has had a pretty poor showing, claiming 13 wins in 37 games. The goal is to finish the season at least as a middle-class team. For example, in their last five games, they earned three wins - 5-3 over Columbus, 4-3 over San Jose, and 4-2 over Los Angeles, which is quite a good result for an outsider.

• Anaheim is averaging 4.16 goals per game.
• Philadelphia has won three of the last five games.

We have more liking for Philadelphia. Anaheim has been highly lackluster this season, while the Flyers have been getting some results. Still, the difference between the opponents is nine points, and that's saying something. We think Philadelphia will gain points, but they might not do without overtime. That is why we offer a bet on the final victory of the second team.
