SJ Sharks vs COL Avalanche Prediction: betting on the home team to win

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose may not count on the playoffs. The team will fight for the penultimate place as evidenced by its performance in the first five games of the new regular season. So, the Sharks earned only two points, losing to St. Louis and Dallas outside of regulation time. Thus, the Sharks are content with 15th place in the West table.

The Avalanches have serious difficulties with personnel, as a consequence of which they have only a few prominent hockey players left, who clearly will not be able to take the team out of a bad position on themselves. Colorado also has significant problems on defense, as evidenced by 28 missed pucks in five games - the worst result in the Western Conference. In their last game, the Avalanche broke a four-game losing streak by defeating Anaheim in overtime (4:3).

Here we suggest betting on San Jose goals. The Avalanche showed a terrible game in defense, conceding an average of 5.6 pucks. This indicator is the worst among all teams in the Western Conference. The Sharks will play in their own stands, where they will feel much more confident. Based on this, we suggest betting three goals for the home team at a good rate.
