St. Louis Blues vs Ottawa Senators Prediction: We advise you to bet on the home team to win

Prediction for the NHL St. Louis Blues vs Ottawa Senators match will occur on January 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

St. Louis Blues

Jim Montgomery can be pleased with his team's performance after the Christmas break. St. Louis had no problems against Nashville and won the Winter Classic against Chicago 6:2. An unexpected result was a 4:2 defeat at the hands of Buffalo, but that could be seen as a way of saving energy ahead of their clash with the Blackhawks.

The Musicians have closed the gap from eight to four points in the Western Conference standings. They are in 11th place on 40 points.

Ottawa Senators

Ottawa's hockey players are tired of flying. The team will play away from home for the eighth game in a row. The Senators started the tour looking ambitious, but that's no longer true. In their last four games, Travis Green's men have managed just one win - a 3:1 victory over Minnesota. In the other three, they lost 3:1 to Edmonton, 4:2 to Winnipeg, and 4:2 to Dallas.

Despite the poor results in recent games, the Senators have still climbed into the top eight. They sit in eighth place and have 40 points in their piggy bank. Pittsburgh has just one point less, so Ottawa must go all out to leave St Louis with a win.

Expert Betting Tips

The bookmakers' analysts are more inclined to bet on the second team to win, but we disagree. Both teams have 40 points at the moment, but St Louis is out of the Cup zone, which is not to their liking. Ottawa came into the game after seven away games, which has taken its toll on their resources. The Musicians will take advantage of their visitors' fatigue and take two points. We advise you to bet on the home team to win, considering extra time and penalties.
