FLA Panthers vs TB Lightning Prediction: Florida will be stronger

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Florida managed to win the Stanley Cup last season. The team confidently walked over their playoff opponents, and in the final series led 3:0 in a battle with Edmonton. However, the Oilers snapped back, taking three games in a row, and it was only in the seventh that the Panthers won the trophy. They have big plans for the upcoming season as well. In the preseason, Florida played five games, in which they recorded three wins. One of them was the day before - 5:4 in overtime over Carolina.

Tampa Bay, on the other hand, was unable to achieve success last season. Moreover, the Lightning fell out of the Stanley Cup at the first stage, losing just to Florida. All in all, they didn't live up to expectations, but they will definitely try to succeed this season. The preseason for Tampa is still going so well - after 1:2 with Carolina, they beat Florida 8:7, but the day before they lost to Nashville (0:6).

We think that Florida will be stronger in the upcoming game. The Panthers are stronger at the moment, and for the defeat in the preseason in an incredibly spectacular battle (7:8) they are clearly going to take revenge. Moreover, the reigning Stanley Cup winner will play at Sunrise in front of their fans. We believe that the victory over Carolina the day before will energize the home team, so we're betting on their eventual victory.
