Columbus vs Buffalo Prediction: Only Point for the Jackets

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Columbus vs Buffalo, which will take place on October 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Columbus has a pretty challenging schedule. In the new season, the team played three games against some tough opponents and managed to gain two points. First, the Jackets were outclassed by Minnesota (2:3), then lost to Colorado (6:4) and Florida (3:4). Naturally, the Sabres provide a welcome change of pace for Columbus, offering a chance to really outplay their opponent.

Buffalo had a successful first half of the back-to-back. The team didn't earn two points against Pittsburgh, but one point is still a good result. The Sabres will have their work cut out for them in the match with the Flyers because, for the Penguins, the visitors used up a lot of resources. It's worth noting that Buffalo has made three points in the first five games of the season, putting them in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

We're tipping the first team to win here. Columbus is an outsider, but they'll be playing against a team that's also struggling. Plus, the Sabres spent a lot of energy on the first half of the back-to-back, and the Jackets will try to take advantage of that. Bookmakers have given a good option for the home team not to lose, which we suggest betting on.
