Edmonton vs Anaheim Prediction: Choosing the Oilers to Bet On

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Edmonton vs Anaheim, which will take place on January 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton's not having the best season. There are some questions for the Oilers, as fans are clearly unhappy with their seventh place in the overall Western Conference standings with 47 points. Before Christmas, the team had a great run, but then they had two really unnecessary losses in overtime to Los Angeles (3-4) and in regulation time to Anaheim (3-5). But they improved after that, with a great game against Utah (4-1).

As for Anaheim, they're really pushing themselves to the max. Let's be honest, Greg Cronin's resources are already pretty limited, and we're all really looking forward to the playoffs. Trevor Zegras has been out of action for ages. With 36 points, the Ducks sit only 13th in the Western Conference standings, but they've really got to be given credit for their recent games. The day before, Anaheim took care of Edmonton (5-3), and then even New Jersey (3-2) and Winnipeg (4-3 in overtime).

We think Edmonton should have no problems in the upcoming meeting. The Ducks have had a bit of a morale boost recently, but that can play a cruel joke on them. Anaheim can easily believe in their own strength, and on the second day of the back-to-back it will be physically difficult. Plus, the Ducks defeated the Oilers recently, so the second team will be looking to even the score with the support of the Canadian fans. We suggest betting on a confident home victory.
