Colorado vs San Jose Prediction: the Avalanche Should Outclass the Opponent

Prediction for the NHL match between Colorado vs San Jose, which will take place on December 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colorado is doing quite well this season. After 30 games, the team is in third place in the Central Division with 38 points. Moreover, leading Winnipeg and Dallas have the same points, which means that after the upcoming meeting, they can become the first. Recently, the Avalanche had two great games, beating Calgary 6-5 and Buffalo 5-1. But right before that, Colorado lost to Winnipeg (6-2).

San Jose, which looked horrible for a long time, finally started playing hockey and even managed nine victories. However, they also have 21 losses, which puts them in seventh place in the Pacific Division with 21 points. They earned points in four games in a row, but in the previous one, they made a misfire. San Jose lost to Arizona with a score of 0-1.

We think that Colorado is the favorite in the upcoming match. No matter how you look at it, these teams are from different planets, even if the Sharks have been scoring more points lately. But in the last seven H2H meetings, the Avalanche have been stronger, and that's important. They have a different aim in mind, and after a frustrating loss to Winnipeg, they need to recover in front of their fans.
