Nashville Predators vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction: Carolina is going through a tough time

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nashville has looked pretty great this season. They are still in the playoff zone, which is a great achievement. The Predators have 38 points and are in fourth place in the Central Division standings. Ahead of the break, Nashville registered a 4:2 victory over Philadelphia but then lost to Dallas (2:3), which was extremely frustrating.

Carolina has not reached its level in the current campaign. Thus, ahead of the match, the Hurricanes have only 38 points, and in the standings of the Metropolitan Division, they are only in fifth position - not even in the playoff zone. The team has also been looking sad lately, with only three wins in 11 matches. The day before, they lost twice - 1:2 to Pittsburgh in a shootout and 4:5 to the Islanders in regulation time.

We believe that in this meeting, we should favor Nashville. The fact is that with the support of their fans, the Predators are very good this season, and just under a fortnight ago, they already managed to beat the Hurricanes with a score of 6:5. Carolina is going through a far-from-good stretch right now - there are a lot of defeats. We think the hosts can at least not lose in the main time of this match.
