Tip and bets
Pittsburgh are in optimal form and show convincing performance both at home and away. Buffalo looked good in their recent home games, but the team is too inconsistent and we doubt they can put up a fight against the Pens.
Our prediction - Pittsburgh to win
We do not expect a barnburner here. The two sides rarely score a lot in head-to-head games - they netted more than five goals in one out of five previous matches. We suggest taking the under.
Second bet - total under 6 goals
