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.

NAS Predators

Nashville is an extremely illogical club. There are a lot of big names in its lineup, but even so, the team is slipping to the bottom of the Western Conference. The Predators are content with 16th place, having earned only 24 points in 32 meetings. However, the Predators have looked more organized lately. It seems, or Andrew Brunette has found a balance, with which he will try to make a comeback. So, recently, Nashville has formalized a victory over Dallas with the score 4:1, and after that over the Rangers - 2:0.

PIT Penguins

Pittsburgh has the oldest roster in the NHL. However, Mike Sullivan clearly believes that if everything is working, there is no point in making adjustments. So, the Penguins are fighting for a spot in the cup zone, sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. They lack only one point to their goal. In the last two meetings, Pittsburgh managed to earn three points. First, they were weaker than Ottawa - 2:3, and after they outplayed Los Angeles - 3:2.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers are more inclined to the victory of the hosts, but we would not rush to conclusions. Pittsburgh throughout the season demonstrates average but stable hockey. Nashville mostly performs poorly, as evidenced by the 16th place in the West. In our opinion, we should not expect a lot of goals here. The Predators just found the formula for success, so they will play cautiously, as in the match with the Rangers (2:0). Pittsburgh after the defeat of Montreal - 9:2, in two games in a row did not score more than two pucks in regular time. In general, based on this, we'll bet on the total under.
