BOS Bruins vs EDM Oilers Prediction: bet on the final victory of the guests

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

On the eve of the new year, Boston suffered a defeat from Washington - 1:3, after which victories they did not know any more. Already in 2025, the Bears have played three games, where they earned only one point - 4:5 (OT) from the Islanders. In the other two they suffered defeats - 1:2 from the Rangers and 4:6 from Toronto. Despite this, they are confidently in the cup zone of the Eastern Conference. On the eve of the game with Edmonton, they are content with the sixth position with four points more than ninth-place Pittsburgh.

Things are different for Edmonton. Since the new year, the team has yet to suffer a single defeat. First Utah, then Anaheim, and lastly Seattle. The upcoming opponent will be much stronger than the previous ones, but in face-to-face meetings with the Bruins, the Oilers look a little more convincing. As for the Oilers' position in the Western Conference table, they are fifth with 51 points. They are three points short of the top-3.

Analysts of bookmakers expect the success of the second team, with which we fully agree. Recently, Boston does not shine at all. In the last six games on his account recorded only one victory. In the same time period, the Oilers won four times. In addition, in the last four games at the arena in Boston, the Oilers have been stronger than the opponent. In general, we suggest betting on the final victory of the guests at a good rate.
