LiontipsTampa Bay vs Dallas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Tampa have had a fairly successful six-game home streak. The team only lost to Florida (3:5) and Carolina (1:4). The defense did not give the best performance, allowing the opponent to create many dangerous moments. In the rest of the games, the Lightning also had some setbacks, but still managed to prevail.
Then the Lightning had to play away again, and the team defeated Chicago in a real barnburner (7:4). The best player was striker Point, who scored a goal and also gave an assist. At the moment, Tampa Bay are in third place in the standings and have already earned their ticket to the playoffs.
Dallas have been consistently earning points for a long time. In eight games, the team suffered only two defeats from Detroit (3:7) and Carolina (1:5). In the rest of the matches, the Stars played much better in defense, and that allowed them to win. Despite such a difficult season, the Stars remain one of the best in terms of defense.
It is worth mentioning that away Rick Bowness's players perform much weaker than at home. In six games, the team won only twice - over Chicago (5:1) and Detroit (2:1 OT). But Dallas can still secure a playoff spot if they continue to earn points.

Our prediction is Tampa to win.
In the head-to-head, the teams do not always show high-scoring results. Much more often the clubs play on the defensive, which is why they rarely score more than five goals. So it makes sense to bet on the total under.
Second prediction - total under 5.5 goals.
