Buffalo Sabres vs Ottawa Senators Prediction: Sabres look better

Buffalo Sabres will take on Ottawa Senators October 14 at 02:00 (UTC+3). Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Last season, Buffalo failed to secure a playoff berth. They scored 75 points in 82 games, which helped them finish 11th in the East and fifth place in the Atlantic Division. It's worth noting that the Sabres showed a lot of promise in the preseason. In six games played, they managed four wins - over Washington (4-3 including OT), Philadelphia (2-1), Pittsburgh (3-1) and Carolina (4-2). In the other two, of course, the Sabres suffered setbacks, 1-4 against the Flyers and 1-7 against the Penguins.

Ottawa specifically failed last season. Having improved towards the end, it didn't make a difference for the team. The Senators were in 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings, 27 points behind the playoffs. In terms of preseason preparation, it can't be said that the Senators were in any way surprising. Although they finished second in the Atlantic Division, they earned more points in games against Montreal, which, by the way, was four.

We are more inclined to the victory of the first team in this pairing. Buffalo showed quite good hockey last season and in the preseason, while Ottawa is unstable. Plus, the Sabres will be playing at home, which could have a big impact on the outcome of the game. All in all, we recommend betting on hosts to win the match for great odds.

Prediction: Buffalo will win the match.
