San Jose vs Anaheim Prediction: the Ducks Concede Too Often

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Anaheim Ducks match, which will take place on November 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose

San Jose is floundering among the outsiders for yet another year. If the Sharks at least started the regular season well last season, they began to fall apart from the very first games. In their games in Prague, the Californians lost to Nashville - 1:4 and 2:3, and then - three more meetings without a point. Gradually, the results improved; in the subsequent six battles, they gained three wins and three losses. But that's still only enough for 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

Anaheim

Anaheim is another California team stuck in the basement of the NHL with no serious challenge. The Ducks have been undergoing lineup restructuring for several years, but it has yet to bear any fruit. This season, Dallas Eakins' team has once again shown abysmal results. In their nine meetings, they have yet to win a single game in regulation time. They only won over Seattle and Toronto in overtime, 5:4 and 4:3, respectively, and lost the rest of their games. Anaheim is last in the Western Conference.

Expert Betting Tips

The teams are not only geographic neighbors but also neighbors in the Western Conference bottom. At the same time, the Sharks have started to earn points, while the Ducks have won only once in their previous eight meetings. The Sharks have a more talented squad as well.

Anaheim does not win and has a very weak defense. In their nine meetings, the Ducks have already conceded 39 pucks (4.33 average per game), the worst figure among all Western Conference clubs.
