COL Avalanche vs ANA Ducks Prediction: the guests can't be written off

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colorado is playing absolutely bad at the start of the season. It's hard to explain what's going on with the Avalanche, but first of all, they need to do something about their defense. After all, the offensive strike zone is working, but they missed 25 pucks in four games. Also, they have four defeats and not even a single point in the asset. The day before, Colorado lost again—to Boston in front of their fans—with a score of 3:5.

While one of the Stanley Cup contenders is struggling at the start, one of the outsiders is showing great results. Anaheim has two wins in the opening three games of the new season. They managed to beat San Jose 2:0 in the first meeting. Then, however, it was 1:3 with Vegas, but the day before the Ducks performed extremely well against NHL rookie Utah, which started the campaign briskly. The Ducks managed to beat them in overtime (5:4).

In fact, the upcoming game is a great opportunity for Colorado to finally rehabilitate for four straight defeats. Still, Anaheim can't be written off, as they've had a great start to the season. We note that so far, all the meetings with the Avalanche have been rich in goals, and this one will hardly be an exception. After all, the Ducks know how to play open hockey, and now it will be just such an occasion. We're betting on a classic total over.
