Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators: Opponents are worthy of each other

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators match, which will take place on January 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

In its last five games, Edmonton has added two points, losing to New Jersey and the Islanders in overtime. In the other three games, they failed St. Louis (2:4), the Rangers (1:4) and Toronto (2:4).

There's no point in talking about a playoff zone with the Oilers' performance in recent games. But maybe the club will come together and have a winning streak in the next round? The Oilers are just three points behind in the top 4.

Does Ottawa even have a chance of making the playoffs? We believe not. The Senators have scored 22 points in 34 games, and they need to score at least 22 more to reach the top 4. In their last match, the Senators managed to break their three-game losing streak, beating Calgary by three goals on the road.

The bookmakers have made a rather strange decision, favouring the home side. Edmonton has not been shining at all lately. On the contrary, Ottawa is making some kind of progress. We expect the opponents to reach the total over, and there will be an overtime. Prediction: Totals Over (6.5).
