Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colorado

Colorado can not boast of stability right now. The team alternated wins and losses for nine games in a row. We can still understand the defeats from Winnipeg and Edmonton, from Chicago and Montreal, the Avalanche had to pass. With Buffalo, Florida, Minnesota, Rangers and Dallas they had no problems. Thus, the Denver club is trying to catch up with the top three, currently sitting in sixth place with 57 points.

Minnesota

Minnesota went off the winning rails, and there is no opportunity to return yet. In the last five-match stretch, the Wildcats can boast only a victory over a modest San Jose. They lost to higher-class opponents - 1:6 to Colorado, 1:4 to Vegas, 3:5 to Edmonton and 2:6 to Nashville. Still, Kaprizov's absence is taking a big toll on the team's performance. Because of this, the Wild have slipped to fourth place in the Western Conference standings with a total of 58 points.

Expert Betting Tips

Colorado is quoted as the favorite, which is not surprising at all. Despite their instability, the Avalanche look much better than current Minnesota. Yes, understandably, Vegas and Edmonton are difficult to outplay, besides without the main scorer, but the defeat from Nashville showed that the Wildcats have a lot of vulnerabilities. Also relatively recently, the opponents met in St. Paul, where the Avalanche came away with a whole bunch of pucks - 6:1. Being in Denver, the hosts will leave no chance of success for the visitors.
