Wild vs Jets Betting Prediction
The game is very well placed, with both teams fancying their chances. Minnesota will come into the game with a winning momentum against strong teams but having lost their last game, they will be under no advantage. They have not played well against Winnipeg, which is likely to put them in discomfort.
While Winnipeg have not played well in their last two games, they are likely to find strength with a great winning record at home. They have a better defensive setup which provides them additional comfort in this game.
The game is likely to stay close, but we can expect Winnipeg to break the losing run with a better defensive display and score enough to get the desired win.
