Prediction for the NHL match, which will take place on October 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Tampa can hardly take last season as a plus. The Lightning were eliminated in the playoffs, failing to Toronto 2-4. This is clearly not what Lightning fans were expecting, so they need to improve in the upcoming season. As for the preseason, the team had a great run, winning five straight games in seven. On the eve of the new NHL season, Tampa beat Florida 4-2.

Nashville, like Tampa, cannot consider the past season a success. But it's much worse - they didn't even make the playoffs. The Predators earned only 92 points in 82 games and ended up fifth in the Central Division. In the fall, Nashville took part in six games, performing horribly - only one win and five defeats. In the last match, they lost to Carolina with a score of 4-1. With results like that, it will be hard to make any achievements.

• Tampa has won five of the last six games.
• Three of the last four meetings with Tampa ended with the TO (5.5).

Based on the preseason results, it's clear that Tampa is in much better shape. The Lightning has significantly more victory, while the Predators are losing game after game. In general, the home team is of a higher class and more ambitious. Considering what happened in the fall, it will be tough for the visitors to roll into the new season, and they will surely have problems in the first game.
