Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nashville shows itself quite well for its level. The Predators are in the sixth position in the standings of the Central Division with 26 points, and they are one step away from the playoff zone. We note that after two straight defeats from Minnesota (1:6) and the Rangers (3:4), the team succeeded twice. The day before, Nashville beat Buffalo with a score of 2:1, and then Chicago in a shootout with a score of 4:3.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are hardly pleasing their fans this campaign. The Lightning can do better, but with 29 points, they sit in fourth position in the Atlantic Division standings - fans are used to seeing them higher. As for the Lightning's previous games, they had a long losing streak of four straight regular-season losses. But after that, Tampa Bay beat Dallas (4:1); the day before, they beat Pittsburgh (3:1).

We suggest betting on Tampa Bay in this matchup. Both teams picked up some great wins the day before, but the Lightning's opponents in these games were noticeably stronger. Moreover, the Predators are extremely convenient opponents for the Lightning - in five previous face-to-face meetings, they suffered defeats. Therefore, a bet on the final victory of the guests looks quite logical.
