Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs Chicago Blackhawks match which will take place on January 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo looks modest in the current campaign. Nobody expected anything from the Sabres, so the expectations are low. The team is in seventh place in the Atlantic Division with 42 points and a slim chance of making the playoffs. The team has also had mixed success, alternating losses with wins. For example, after a 1:0 loss to Vancouver, Buffalo bounced back with a 3:0 win over San Jose.

Chicago Blackhawks

While Buffalo still has a chance to make the playoffs, Chicago is sad. On the eve of the game, the Blackhawks are in last place in the Central Division and second to last in the West. They have 28 points in their account, which is extremely low. Regarding previous meetings, Chicago suffered three consecutive defeats, but the day before, they beat San Jose in a shootout (2:1).

Expert Betting Tips

Buffalo is the clear favorite. The Sabres are much more ambitious this season and sometimes even win at home. Meanwhile, Chicago's road record is sad - 15 losses speak for themselves. We suggest not making up anything and back the home team to win. They are just stronger right now.
