LiontipsFlorida vs Nashville. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (March 3, 2023).
Command Analysis
Florida are not having a good season and currently sit in 10th place in the East. The team is struggling to show consistent results, alternating successful games with losses since February. Earlier, they beat Anaheim (4-3 OT) on their home ice, then lost to Buffalo (1-3) and unexpectedly defeated Tampa Bay 4-1 away. On average, the Panthers allow at least three goals per game since they do not have an experienced group of defencemen.
Nashville occupy the tenth place in the West with a total of 64 points. The team rarely mounts winning streaks, however, they have recently won three games in a row. But after crushing San Jose (6-2) and Arizona (6-2), the Predators lost to Pittsburgh at home with a score of 1-3. Usually, John Hynes's men play open hockey and act on counterattacks. They concede about three goals per away game.
Trends
Ставка Nashville IT over 3.5 goals
In four out of five matches, the visitors scored more than three goals.
Ставка 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five games between the clubs, more than one goal was scored in the first period.
Tip and bets
We believe that the Predators will win this game. The teams have already met earlier this season, and Nashville got a confident four-goal victory over Florida. The Panthers are too inconsistent, and it is safer to bet on the Preds' success.
Second bet - handicap (0) to Nashville
Both sides usually play open hockey, and Nashville regularly deliver three goals even on road trips. Florida can't boast of a reliable defensive line, so we think the hosts will be able to score at least three times.
Second bet - Nashville IT over 2.5 goals
