FAQ: American Championship, NHL. The prediction is that Anaheim won’t lose by more than 1 goal.
Reasoning: The Edmonton Oilers was eager to return home from a rather long but unsuccessful tour of the East. Anaheim could be an ideal opponent for last year’s finalist to get back into form, but the Ducks have also started the long playoff race, which few expected. Despite this, Edmonton is still the favorite, but a close encounter is expected, especially if you look at the teams’ past weeks.
The Ducks have won with a handicap of +1.5 in all their last four away matches, and eight times in their last 10 matches. On the other hand, starting from -1.5, Edmonton lost 9 times in their last 10 games and 16 times in their last 20, also in their last three home games. Add to this the teams’ last two encounters, where this was also the case, and we have our solution.
Final score: 2-6 => the prediction WON! 🙂
