FLA Panthers vs PIT Penguins Prediction: betting on the home team to win

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Florida's recent results are not inspiring optimism for fans. The Panthers had no problems, they won a lot and were in the top of the East - it seemed that Paul Maurice was in complete control of the situation and was leading his team to a second consecutive Stanley Cup. However, in the past four games, Florida has suffered three defeats at once. Here was another one the day before - 1:3 from Carolina. As for the team's position in the overall Eastern Conference table, they are in fifth place with 48 points, and for a position in the top, they need to add more.

For Pittsburgh, the campaign is turning out to be quite expected. The team performs not below its level, and it is very important - with 39 points in the asset they are located on the ninth position in the general table of the Eastern Conference, claiming the Wild Card. Yes, Mike Sullivan is getting results from an experienced and aged squad, but there is still no stability. In six games in a row Pittsburgh has alternated wins and losses, and the day before they lost to Detroit with a score of 2:4.

We favour Florida in the upcoming meeting. The Panthers have had some problems lately, but still, they've had a rather difficult calendar. Now, after the loss to Carolina in Sunrise, fans simply won't understand another consecutive defeat. In addition, Pittsburgh's position is pretty shaky, and its defence is in big trouble. We do not make up anything, we bet on the victory of the hosts of the ice.
