Vancouver vs Columbus: The home side to secure a fifth win in a row

We will tell you in what conditions the opponents are approaching the match and advise some great options for betting.

Under new coach Bruce Boudreau, Vancouver have four wins out of four - a great start for the Canadians. If the team keeps this up, they can expect to make the playoffs. The difference is quite manageable - six points. In the last game, Vancouver beat the leader of the Capital One division, Carolina, with a score of 2-1.

Columbus were able to add three points to their record in the last three games. First came a one-goal away loss to Toronto (4-5), then a shootout loss to Anaheim (1-1, 2-2) and, finally, a 5-4 win over Seattle thanks to a Jack Bean overtime goal. The Blue Jackets are fighting for a playoff spot in the Capital One standings, sitting in fifth place, four points behind higher-ranked Pittsburgh.

The bookmakers have given their preference to Vancouver, with which we will probably agree. The new coach has helped the team find the style of play that suits them. Columbus have not been playing consistently lately, to put it mildly, which certainly does not inspire confidence. We believe that on home soil and under the new coach, Vancouver will secure their fifth win in a row.
