Seattle vs Buffalo: Two teams with no defence will have a productive match

The Seattle Kraken will play their next game on home ice. Dave Hakstol’s team will visit Buffalo. The Sabres got off to a brisk start to the season but almost immediately began tapering off. Will the Sabres be able to confirm that their success at the beginning of the championship was not by chance? We’ll pick a few options to bet on at once.

The management of the new NHL team is criticized for a reason. Seattle have been assembled with an extreme bias towards offense. That’s not to say when third-string center-forward Jared McCann is the team’s leader in scoring with 7 points on goal+passes but a -3 utility rating. That imbalance has hindered the team’s success thus far. Dave Hakstol’s team is coming into the game against Buffalo in last place in the Pacific Division with only three wins in 9 games.

No sooner have Sabres fans rejoiced than Buffalo began to resemble themselves with each successive game of recent seasons. Don Granato’s team approached the game in Seattle with two straight losses - 2-3 to Los Angeles and 3-5 to San Jose. In general, the upcoming meeting will be the fourth away for the Sabres. Before the losses to the Kings and the Sharks, they managed to outscore Anaheim 4-3 in overtime.

Both teams are not even close to being season favourites. Moreover, there are huge doubts about the playoffs for both Buffalo and Seattle. As for the upcoming head-to-head game, Seattle are undoubtedly the favorite. The team is playing at home, and who better to beat than Buffalo, playing their 4th away game of the tourney. The winner may be decided outside of regulation time, but even so, the Kraken’s victory is much more believable. In addition, you can bet on the Total. Both teams play terrible defense, and between them will probably have a productive match.

The prediction is a win for Seattle in a head-to-head game.

• 1X and Total Over 4.5 for 2.00;

• W1 in overtime for 10.00.
