Utah vs COL Avalanche: the guests will be stronger

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Utah

Utah is having a great season. We can't forget that it's a rookie in the NHL, and you can't expect them to fight for the wild card. At the same time, his results are very stable, and we wouldn't be surprised if they end up in the top eight in the West at the end of the regular season. At the moment, they are tenth in the standings with 38 points. And they would have even jumped into the top-8 if they hadn't lost to Anaheim in a shootout (4:5) and Dallas (2:3) before the break.

COL Avalanche

Colorado has been doing remarkably well lately. The Avalanche are allowing fewer and fewer misfires, and even before the break they gave away a series of three straight victories, although the class of opponents was modest - 4:2 with San Jose, 4:2 with Anaheim and 5:2 with Seattle. Jared Bednar's wards began to correct their tournament position as well. Ahead of the match, the Evellanche are in sixth place in the Western Conference standings with 42 points, and now the main task is to get a foothold here.

Expert Betting Tips

The results of Utah do not inspire confidence in its strength. Especially at home, the NHL rookie looks frankly mediocre, and in the past eight games with the support of their fans lost seven times. Considering that Colorado is in optimal condition at the moment and is approaching this game with a streak of three wins in a row, it would be a logical decision to favor them in this battle. We suggest not to make anything up, choosing in favor of the final victory of the guests (taking into account overtime and shootout).
