1.55Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, the bookmakers cannot single out a favorite and give the teams approximately equal odds to win. Columbus has returned to the home arena, but the support of the home stands has not helped the club achieve success lately, and the series of defeats has reached four matches in a row. The Blazers continue to be in poor shape, and in the last seven matches they have won only one victory over the troubled Islanders. Vancouver, on the other hand, came to its senses and began steadily earning points. We believe that the guests will be able to continue their winning streak, which we suggest betting on.
