Tip and bets
San Jose is far from their best form, so it's hard to believe in Sharks, even when they play at home. Arizona is not on their peak either, but they are looking way better than their opponents.
Our prediction - Arizona to win with handicap (0).
We can recommend to bet on total over as our second bet, because head-to-heads between these two teams are usually high-scoring. Only in one out of five last head-to-head games teams scored less than five goals.
Our second prediction - total over 5.5 goals.
