Detroit vs Pittsburgh Prediction: Great Start for the Wings

Prediction for the NHL preseason match, which will take place on October 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

It's fair to say that Detroit hasn't had the best of times, but honestly, the team didn't field the main squad. So, in eight games, the Red Wings only earned eight points, with three wins and two losses outside of regulation time. It's good for Detroit that the season opener is at their arena because the Red Wings scored most of their points last season at Little Caesars Arena.

Pittsburgh has already kicked off the new NHL regular season. We don't think it's fair to say that this performance was successful. The Penguins lost to the Rangers and missed six shots on goal. The team demonstrated that securing a spot in the playoffs would be challenging. Pittsburgh's roster isn't the youngest, which'll be clear as the season progresses.

We're tipping Detroit to win. The team didn't do so well in the pre-season, but Pittsburgh didn't exactly have a great run either. On top of that, we should remember that the Penguins were recently beaten, which means the Red Wings will be approaching the game with more enthusiasm. We don't think they'll make a mistake against a discouraged opponent in front of their own fans. It's a good idea to bet on the first team to win.
