Buffalo vs Pittsburgh Prediction: One's Having Fun, Another's Winning

Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on December 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Buffalo is one of the hopeless underdogs, so they do not even try to fight for a playoff spot. The current season is no exception, although the Sabres started impressively with seven wins in ten games. After that, the results fell off, but sometimes Don Granato's men work miracles. One of them happened the day before when, in the first period, they scored six unanswered goals against Columbus and defeated them 9-4. The win allowed the Yellow and Blues to retain their 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings. 

Pittsburgh has had an exciting regular season. The Penguins made a productive debut, earning nine out of ten points in the first five meetings. After that, their seven-game losing streak began. Fortunately, by mid-November, the situation stabilized, and now the Yellow and Blacks are winning even more often than losing. In the last ten games, Mike Sullivan's wards gained eight wins and two defeats, losing to Toronto and Carolina - 1-4 and 2-3. The Pennsylvanians have not failed three games and moved to fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Pittsburgh has played well from time to time. If the Penguins are in great form, they can beat anyone, but then they slump, which leads to continuous failure. So far, the Pennsylvanians have made good progress, going to defeat Buffalo. Mike Sullivan's wards won their last four away games, each time during regular time. Now we have the right to expect something similar from them.

Buffalo, again this season, can't get involved in the battle for the Eastern Conference's top eight. That's probably why the Sabres decided to have fun and entertain the audience. Sometimes it leads to good results. Sometimes, it doesn't, but watching their games is a sheer delight. In the five previous meetings with the Yellow and Blues, 52 goals were scored.
