Arizona Coyotes vs Nashville Predators Prediction: Will the guests justify their status as favorites?

Prediction for the NHL Arizona Coyotes vs Nashville Predators match, which will take place on February 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Arizona can already accept that they will not make the playoffs this season. Right now, the Coyotes are 13th in the West and seventh in the Central standings with 49 points. The team plays for fun, without pressure or expectations. And that's paid off lately; not once in nine meetings has the team lost in regulation time. But last week, Calagri beat Arizona (6:3).

Nashville is ranked tenth in the Western Conference standings and fifth in the Central Division standings. The Predators have 62 points, so they have every chance of making the playoffs at the end of the regular season. But they need to improve as a matter of urgency to catch up with their higher-ranked opponents. Nashville managed to succeed in two previous games - first, they beat Vancouver (5:4) by shootout and then beat San Jose with a score of 6:2.

We think we should opt for Nashville in this matchup. The Predators have tremendous motivation, as they want to make the playoffs. And at the end of the day, any loss of points could be fatal. So in the battle with the outsider of the West, which is not fighting for anything, the guests have to show the best hockey and get a third win in a row. After the loss to Calgary, Arizona will hardly be in a good mood, so we will take the final victory for Nashville (taking into account overtime and shootout).
