Carolina vs Florida Prediction: Choosing the Favorite

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Carolina vs Florida, which will take place on November 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carolina played well in the last two games. First, they beat Dallas 6-4, then came back from behind to defeat the Rangers 4-3. So the Hurricanes have overtaken New Jersey at the top of the standings, with one more point than their nearest rivals. However, the Hurricanes still have to keep up the pressure because they're up against the Devils next, where they can easily earn points. Consequently, Carolina must do everything possible to boost their score in the upcoming game against the Panthers.

Florida is coming into the game with a bit of a disadvantage. The team has a great roster, which, however, has failed four of the last five matches. They lost 3-6 to Winnipeg, 1-3 to Chicago, 4-7 to Colorado and 1-4 to Washington. Fortunately, the run of bad luck ended in the last game. The Panthers defeated Toronto with a difference of four pucks (5-1) thanks to their home advantage. So, Florida is still in fifth place, with 27 points.

We think Carolina is a good bet for success. After all, the Hurricanes have been more consistent recently than Florida, which has lost four out of five games. It's also worth mentioning that the Panthers haven't done as well as one could have expected on the road against the Hurricanes in their last four matches. For this reason, we're more inclined to think the hosts will win. It's also worth remembering that if Carolina wins, they'll extend its lead at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, which is a big motivator. All things considered, there's no better bet than the home team winning in the end.
