Tip and bets
Anaheim started to earn points, but so far they have been only defeating teams that are in terrible form. The Ducks don't always win at home, and we don't expect them to deliver a good performance just because of their home advantage. Minnesota have had a disappointing start to the season, but nevertheless, they are the favorites in this fixture, because overall they are a better team than Anaheim.
Our prediction - Minnesota to win
The Ducks are unreliable on defense and concede many goals in almost every games. Just in one head-to-head game out of five, the opponents couldn't score six goals, so we recommend taking the over.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
