Edmonton Oilers vs Nashville Predators Prediction: Oilers to win

On November 2, the Rogers Place in Edmonton will host a regular season NHL match between the local Oilers and Nashville Predators. The game is scheduled to start at 04:00. We present you a prediction for the upcoming match, offering all the relevant stats for you to place the best bet.

Edmonton had serious trouble making the playoffsblast regular season, so now they've been playing at a solid level almost since the start of the season. The Oilers were struggling a bit in the opening games, suffering three losses in five games, but then they were on a good run which allowed them to beat Pittsburgh 6-3, St. Louis 3-1, Chicago 6-5, and then Calgary in the Alberta derby, 3-2. This breakthrough allowed the Blue and Orange to rise to second place in the standings of the West.

Nashville has been expected to make tremendous progress for years, as the roster level allows them to solve big problems, but nothing of the sort has actually happened. The Predators do well every year in the regular season and then fail in the playoffs. Now John Hynes's men decided not to wait for the Cup battles, opting to embarrass themselves as early as October. Yes, they won 4-1 and 3-2 in their games against San Jose in Prague, but in the next seven games they had only one win and six losses, which puts Nashville 11th in the Western Conference.

On the eve of the opponents' first face-off this season, everything says in favor of the hosts. The Oilers are in great form having won the last four games in a row, while the Predators have lost six of seven games since their return from Prague. Moreover, in six consecutive head-to-head encounters the Canadians have won exclusively, so now they are the favorites, and you can bet on Edmonton's victory with odds of about 1.90 at Bet365.

Edmonton recently not only constantly beats Nashville, but also is productive in the attack. In the previous six head-to-head encounters, the Oilers have scored 27 goals (4.50 goals per game average) which is a very high number for such a long distance, so Edmonton's ITO (3.5) pucks at odds of 2.00 as offered by 1xbet seems to be the best option to bet on. In addition, it is worth betting on Zach Hyman's TO (0.5) at odds of 1.66 at Betway.

Our prediction: W1 for 1.90 at Bet365.
