Edmonton vs Colorado: prediction for the NHL game
The Oilers square off against the Avalanche in the NHL on Saturday night. What to expect from the teams? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaEdmonton are in 8th place in the West, and they haven't won two games in a row in a long time. At home, the Oilers lost to Winnipeg (1:2) and Seattle (2:5), but then defeated the Islanders (4:2). This season, Edmonton haven't done well at home - they won only eight home games in regulation and conceded an average of three to four goals. Jay Woodcroft's worst period is usually the second one, and his charges don't defend well against power play.
Colorado Avalanche
USAColorado were without their leaders for a long time, and even though Nathan McKinnon is back in the ranks, he still needs to pick up form. Currently, the Avalanche are on a five-game losing streak. They lost to Toronto (2:6) and Vegas (2:3) at home, and then yielded to the Canucks (2:4) in Vancouver. Following these results, Bednar's side dropped out of the top-8.

СтавкаIT Edmonton under 3.5 goals
In 3 out of 5 games, the hosts scored less than 4 goals.

Tip and bets
We were not convinced by Edmonton's performance in recent games, and probably the Oilers won't be able to overcome Colorado tonight. The Avalanche are an uncomfortable opponent for Edmonton, and this is a great opportunity for the current Stanley Cup holders to get back to the winning ways.
Our prediction - Colorado to win
In the last games against Edmonton, Colorado consistently scored over 3 goals. The Oilers are unreliable on defense, even when they play at home, so we recommend playing the individual total of the visiting team.
