Columbus Blue Jackets vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction: Which one of them will win?

Prediction for the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets vs Anaheim Ducks match, which will take place on January 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Blue Jackets, who played well last season, were expected to have a breakthrough this season. However, by the end of the first half of the regular season, Columbus was in last place in the Eastern Conference, currently 13 points behind the penultimate team, Montreal. The lack of game balance is also worth noting. Although Columbus' star newcomer Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine have made an excellent offensive combination, they are both underperforming on defense, with minus 14 and 7 points, respectively.

The Ducks aren't the worst team in the Western Conference - lower than Chicago. But while the Blackhawks deliberately went into another rebuild ahead of this championship, Anaheim has been trying to rise from the bottom for a year now. Nevertheless, with its quality roster, the team has been unable to find stability and figure out what kind of hockey to play. The Ducks are coming into the game against Columbus with a streak of five losses in a row. The last offender of Ducks became Philadelphia- 2:5.

Anaheim has had excellent matchup statistics with Columbus in recent seasons. The Ducks may also score points in the upcoming game. The Californians right now seem to be the team more prepared to solve the tournament problems, and in their conference, in contrast to the Blue Jackets, they are not the last. In addition, we are betting on a productive matchup here. You can't say anything about any reliability at their goal this season concerning Columbus and Anaheim. At the same time, the presence of top forwards like Goudreau, Line, Terry, and Zegras in both teams' lineups allows us to count on scoring goals.
