Tampa Bay Lightning vs St. Louis Blues Prediction: betting on a clean win for the home team

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The team has found a balance on defence and offence, which has helped them win from game to game. At this rate, the Lightning will be able to make it to the top-3. For now, they are content with seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with 36 points, three more than ninth-place Pittsburgh. Kucherov and company approach the upcoming game after three straight wins - 8:3 over Calgary, 5:1 over Seattle and 5:3 over Columbus.

St. Louis won't be able to compete for the wild card until they find stability. The team can give a great game, but immediately after one or two matches will be lost. So, relatively recently the Musicians beat Vancouver with a score of 4:3, then lost to San Jose and Dallas. They beat the Rangers and lost to New Jersey.

In this pairing, we are more inclined to the success of the first collective. Tampa Bay recently looks much more convincing than St. Louis, which does not know victories in three games out of the last five. Also note that in face-to-face meetings at the arena in Tampa, the Lightning have won the previous three games. In general, we believe that the Bluesmen will not be able to impose a worthy fight against the Lightning. We suggest betting on a clean win for the home team at a good rate.
