Ottawa vs Toronto Prediction: the Teams Won't Touch the Nets' Backs Often

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Ottawa vs Toronto, which will take place on January 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ottawa

Ottawa couldn't hang onto their spot in the wild card spot, so now they're fighting for a comeback. Right now, the Senators are pretty happy with tenth place in the Eastern Conference table with 52 points in total, just one less than eighth Columbus. It's worth mentioning that Travis Green's team haven't been playing well in terms of offense recently. In their last two games, they didn't score a single goal, but conceded seven: 0-5 from the Rangers and 0-2 from Boston.

Toronto

Toronto is in third place in the Eastern Conference. With 62 points, they're ahead of the pack in the asset, leaving the Devils in fourth place with 60 points. It's worth pointing out that Craig Berube's defense has been a bit all over the place recently. In games against New Jersey, Montreal, and Tampa, the Maple Leafs got more shots on goal than their opponents, but against Columbus, it was more like 1-5. In general, Toronto needs to work on their mistakes.

H2H Meetings

Ottawa is an extremely uncomfortable opponent for Toronto. In the last five face-to-face meetings, the Senators were stronger than the Leafs.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookies think the away team will win, but we're not so sure about that. After all, in face-to-face meetings, it's clear that the Leafs struggle to get points from the Senators. Let's not forget the home advantage for the Senators, which will make it even tougher for the Leafs. We suggest avoiding the outcomes and focusing on performance instead. Ottawa's the worst team in the East for reaching standard total more, with 20 out of 48. On average, they score less than 5.5 goals per game. We think the home team will play it safe. We'll bet on the total under (6).
