Columbus Blue Jackets vs St. Louis Blues Prediction: Betting on the guests' victory

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Columbus shows bad hockey this season. The team does not change - still an outsider of the NHL East, which for 28 games scored only 21 points. With them, the Jackets are in 15th position in the conference standings and last in the Metropolitan Division standings. It's no surprise that things have also been going sadly for them lately. For example, Columbus is currently on a three-game losing streak, and the day before, they crushed the Islanders 3:7.

St. Louis looks much better than Columbus in this campaign. In 25 meetings, the Blues have 27 points, with which they are in sixth position in the Central Division standings but a step away from the coveted playoff zone. Notably, the team continues to alternate victories with defeats - such a series lasts for eight matches. After the recent victory over Vegas in overtime (2:1), St. Louis lost to him with a score of 3:6.

Specialists of betting companies believe that the closest to victory in this match will be St. Louis. We agree with this - the Blues are good, and their ambitions are noticeably higher than those of the Blue Jackets. Also, Columbus has lost their past three matches and is on the second day of a back-to-back road trip. It will be extremely difficult for the home team. In this case, it seems logical to bet on a final victory for the visitors.
