LiontipsBuffalo vs Pittsburgh. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 3, 2022).
Command Analysis
Buffalo continue to play at their home arena, where they have looked confident and consistently earned points this season. In the previous two games, the Sabres delivered great results. After defeating Chicago in overtime (4:3 OT), Buffalo celebrated success over Detroit with a score of 8:3. Forward Tage Thompson had a phenomenal game; he gave three assists and scored a hat-trick.
Pittsburgh, on the other hand, can't find their form. They lost four games in a row, all in regulation time. After a devastating defeat to Vancouver (1:5), the Penguins yielded to the Kraken (1:3) in Seattle. Following these poor results, the Pens dropped to the 13th line in the Eastern Conference table. The team has collected only 10 points since the start of the season.

Tip and bets
Pittsburgh are slumping. The team is doing particularly poorly on road trips, where they have got only one victory this season. We don't believe they will be able to win at Buffalo. The Sabres have looked great at home this season, and they will strive to take advantage of their visitors' terrible form. We will be backing Buffalo here.
Our prediction - Buffalo to not lose
Pittsburgh's main problem is their terrible defensive play. The team conceded large numbers of goals in almost every game, so today Buffalo will get a great chance to realize their attacking potential. Take the over.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
