Prediction for the NHL Tampa Bay Lighting vs. Buffalo Sabres match, which will take place on April 11 at 00:00. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

After four wins in a row, Tampa Bay managed to lose in four games. First, the Lightning lost to Montreal in a shootout (4:5), then to Toronto (2:6), Washington (3:4), and in the last game to Boston (1:2, overtime). Anyway, Tampa Bay is already in the playoffs, because they occupy fourth place in the Atlantic Division standings with 94 points, ahead of fifth Detroit by 29.

Buffalo ended their winning streak and failed in two straight games. First, the Sabres couldn't cope with Carolina (3:5) and then with Florida (3:4). However, these setbacks hardly upset Buffalo since they have long missed their chances of making the playoffs - in the Atlantic Division standings they are located in sixth place with 63 points.

Analysts see Tampa Bay as the favorite, and we agree with them. The home team has had a pretty hot schedule, but now there is an opportunity to rehabilitate by beating a ranked opponent.

• Tampa Bay is the favorite to win the game.
• Buffalo has scored more than two goals in five straight matches.
• Buffalo has scored first in its last four faceoffs.

As we can see, Buffalo doesn't have a problem with scoring pucks lately. For sure the squad will put up a fight against Tampa Bay, but it will hardly be enough for the whole distance of the game. In that case, we suggest betting on a win for the home team and the exchange of pucks.
