Chicago vs Columbus Prediction: the Victory for the Visitors

Prediction for the NHL Chicago Blackhawks vs Columbus Blue Jackets match, which will take place on December 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago has been performing terribly this season. Through 31 games, the team has only seven wins and 24 defeats. The Blackhawks' 18 points speak for themselves - they are in last place in the Central Division and Western Conference standings. Now Chicago has a long losing streak of eight straight, and final game, they fell to Nashville 2-4.

We can say the same thing about Columbus. However, their situation is slightly better - in 32 games, they have ten victories and 22 losses. With those results, the Blue Jackets are at both standings' bottom. Note that Columbus is currently on a streak of five defeats.

• In the last six games, Chicago Blackhawks have conceded in the third period.
• In the last seven games, Chicago Blackhawks have conceded in the first period.

Analysts do not see the favorite in the upcoming matchup, and disagreeing isn't easy. Indeed, the teams are terrible. Still, we favor Columbus. The Blue Jackets look a little more competitive offensively, and their last victory was less than two weeks ago.
