Buffalo Sabres vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction: The Red Wings are capable of competing for the top eight

Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs Detroit Red Wings match, which will take place on November 31. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Buffalo has been one of the regular underdogs of the NHL in recent years. From time to time, the Blades lose key players. A recent example is Jack Eichel. Nevertheless, the Blue and Yellow are playing surprisingly decent in the regular season, with five wins and three losses in their eight starts. It won't be easy to maintain this pace, but the team is eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Detroit also, in recent years, didn't qualify for the playoffs. Still, the decline of the Red Wings was temporary, as the legendary generation was gone, and the promising youngster just gained experience to interfere in the fight for higher places. Last season, the team from Michigan showed glimpses of quality play, and in the current regular season, they have won four games in eight games with four losses. Currently, the team is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings, but they have some promise.

Buffalo and Detroit all last year showed similar results, being the outsiders of the Eastern Conference. Thus the level of ambitions of the clubs in the current season seriously differ. If the Blades have at least a chance to fight for the playoffs in the distance, the Red Wings are already capable of reaching the top eight in the regular season. In their head-to-head encounter, the team from Michigan is the favorite, and they have won the last four one-on-one meetings. You can bet on Detroit to win the game at odds of around 2.2.

Buffalo, in the opening of the current regular championship, surprisingly well played in the defense but recently began to concede significantly more. In the three previous meetings, the Blades have allowed their opponents to hit their goal 11 times (3.67 average per game) while conceding at least three times each time. The Red Wings have frequently drawn the Blue-Yellow in their head-to-head encounters, so we suggest betting on an individual total over 2.5 pucks for 1.73. And as the third bet, we recommend betting on Andrew Copp's goal for 4.25.
