Montreal vs Philadelphia Prediction: the Flyers Have a Chance to Win Finally

Prediction for the NHL match between Montréal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers, which will take place on April 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal

Montreal remains an underdog. After the Stanley Cup Final series, the Canadiens changed the lineup, acquiring many young players. Under Martin St. Louis, they are gaining experience to become a competitive team in the future. This season, the Canadian team had instants of activity. However, in the last three games, they lost to Tampa Bay (4-7), Toronto (2-4), and the Rangers (2-5). As a result, they are now in 15th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Philadelphia

The final weeks have turned into a challenge for Philadelphia. The team had a promising season, positioning themselves well to make the playoffs finally. Despite a slight dip in performance in the second half, they secured a spot in the Cup Final Eight. However, their recent losses to Florida (1-4), NY Rangers (5-6), Montreal (1-4), Chicago (1-5), NY Islanders (3-4), Buffalo (2-4), and Columbus (2-6) has put them in a precarious position. The Flyers are now struggling, slipping to the 11th place in the Eastern standings.

Expert Betting Tips

The Flyers need to regroup and improve their performance before the end of the season. They failed to teams like Montreal, Chicago, Buffalo, and Columbus, who have no chance of making the playoffs. The visitors have one more game to win to keep their chances of making the Cup, primarily when the Canadiens have been held scoreless in their last three matches. 

The opponents have had three H2H meetings in the past year and scored only 14 goals, averaging 4.67 per game. We don't expect an entertaining game in the upcoming confrontation since the Canadiens have no tournament motivation and are sluggishly rolling to the end of the season. Meanwhile, the Flyers are not only playing to score but need points.
