Nashville vs Montreal Prediction: the Predators are Good Sometimes

Prediction for the NHL Nashville Predators vs Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on January 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nashville

Nashville is a fantastic team that finished rebuilding a few years ago with a great lineup, but they haven't won anything since then. Moreover, the Predators only make the playoffs sometimes, and this season has been difficult for them. They looked weak in mid-December, suffering six defeats. Since then, the situation has stabilized, as evidenced by three wins in their previous six games. The day before, Nashville lost overtime to Vegas, 4-5, occupying 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

Montreal

Montreal is another odd team, which, after the Stanley Cup final, became a league outsider right away. Already last season, the Canadiens hopelessly dropped to the Eastern Conference bottom. Even now, their situation does not look much better, as they are in the penultimate place. If in the opening rounds, the Red and Blues still tried to show decent results, in the last five games, they earned only one point, losing to Colorado in overtime - 1-2. Moreover, in their two previous games, they fell to Florida and Washington 2-7 and 2-9.

Expert Betting Tips

Nashville is having mixed success, doing well occasionally, but Montreal is much worse. In their last five games, the Canadiens couldn't win once, and in their two previous meetings, they were thrashed altogether. Now the Canadiens' chances of success are minimal, as they traditionally play hard at the Bridgestone Arena.

Nashville has one of the worst offenses, but in the upcoming battle, theн will have a chance to correct the statistics. The thing is that Montreal's defense is poor, and it's getting weaker with each new game. In the last four meetings, the Canadiens have conceded 24 pucks (6.00 average per game), which is a natural disaster of defensive formation.
