Edmonton Oilers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction: Betting on the home team to win

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton has finally come to its senses. The team has had a poor start to the season, and now they need to make up for lost time in a hurry. In 22 games, the Oilers have only nine wins and 13 losses, so they are seventh in the Pacific Division standings with 19 points. But there are still a lot of games ahead, and if the Oilers play well, they'll have no problem making the playoffs. They've been good lately, with a streak of four straight wins. The day before, they beat Winnipeg (3:1).

Carolina keeps its top level and still goes at the top of the East table. Currently, the Hurricanes are fifth in the conference table and second in the Metropolitan Division table with 29 points, and that can't help but please their fans. But in the previous three games, the Hurricanes won only once - with a 6:2 victory over Buffalo. Prior to this victory, Carolina lost to the Islanders in overtime (4:5), and then to Winnipeg in regulation time (1:2).

Analysts of bookmaker companies have very little preference in this meeting, given Edmonton, and we still agree with them. The Oilers look gorgeous lately - four wins in a row speak for themselves. Carolina, on the other hand, is in a bit of a slump. Moreover, the Oilers have been on vacation since December 1, while the Hurricanes have only been on vacation since December 5. Physical preparation can also play an important role, so we suggest betting on the final victory of the home team (including overtime and shootout).
