Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators Prediction: Betting on the home team to win

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Toronto looks great. Currently, the team is in second position in the Atlantic Division standings with 40 points, but there are a lot of opponents at the bottom of the standings, so they can't afford to lose points. Before the break, the Maple Leafs had two straight losses, a 2:5 loss to the Rangers and an embarrassing 3:9 loss to Buffalo. But after that, Toronto managed to pull together and beat Columbus 4:1.

Ottawa is still the worst team not only in the Atlantic Division but also in the entire East. They have only 24 points, so it's already clear that no playoffs are in sight. The team looked especially sad on the eve of the break, as they had a protracted series of six defeats in regulation time in a row. And only the day before, Ottawa finally managed to win - with a score of 5:4 in overtime, beat Pittsburgh.

Specialists of bookmaker companies believe that Toronto has a noticeably better chance of success in this meeting, with which we agree. After all, this is the fourth team of the Eastern Conference, and Ottawa is the last. Moreover, the Senators looked bad in the lead-up to the break, and it's unlikely that anything will change now. We suggest not to make anything up and bet on the final victory of the home team (including overtime and shootout).
