Pittsburgh - Nashville: betting tip (cf. 1.80) and bets on the NHL match

The 4-0 victory over Florida was a real relief for the Penguins. Before that, the team had lost four matches in a row and regularly allowed opponents to score too many goals. In the previous meeting, the situation was completely changed. Nicholas Robertson scored a double, while Evgeni Malkin and Hendrix Lapierre each scored a goal and an assist. Goalkeeper Artur Shilov made 26 shots and scored for the second time this season. At the same time, Pittsburgh was quite confident in managing the emerging moments.

Before the victory over Florida, the team's defense looked extremely unreliable. Penguins lost to Utah (4:5), Vegas (2:6) and Colorado (2:5), regularly allowing opponents to create dangerous moments. The meetings were especially unpleasant, in which they had to quickly recoup. At the same time, the attack has experienced performers capable of correcting the situation. Malkin remains one of the leaders, and Robertson is gradually adding new opportunities to the team ahead. Now it is important for the hosts to maintain the level of reliability that they managed to show in the last match.

The previous meeting with Boston turned out to be a real failure for the Predators. The team lost with a score of 0:6 and for most of the match could do almost nothing against the opponent. By the first break, Nashville had already conceded two goals, and later the situation only worsened. Goalkeeper Justus Annunen blocked 25 shots, but it was not possible to avoid a major defeat. At the same time, the guests themselves scored 28 shots on target, but they could not beat Michael DiPietro.

Nashville's problems are not limited to one unsuccessful match. The team has lost four of the last five meetings, and in most cases had difficulties with both implementation and defense. The successful exception was the victory over St. Louis with a score of 5:2. In the rest of the matches, the attack was much more modest. Steven Stamkos and Filip Forsberg are capable of solving individual episodes, but the team clearly lacks stability right now. In addition, another setback can seriously complicate the psychological state of hockey players.
