Dallas Stars vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Betting on the home team

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 2. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Dallas looks pretty good this season. The team has 13 wins in 21 games with eight losses - a good result, which gives the Stars 29 points. They allow the team to sit in second position in the Central Division table, just two behind the leading Colorado. We note that after two defeats, Dallas beat Winnipeg 2:0; the day before, they lost to Calgary with a score of 3:4 in overtime.

Tampa Bay looks a little worse when comparing it directly to Dallas. The Lightning have scored only 25 points in 24 meetings, with ten wins and 14 losses. That's not exactly a great success. And in the standings of the Atlantic Division, the Lightning are only in the fifth position. Recently, they look bad - a series of three defeats in regulation, three times in a row. Tampa Bay lost to Colorado (1:4), Arizona (1:3), and Pittsburgh with a score of 2:4.

In the upcoming meeting, analysts of betting companies favor Dallas, and we agree with them. The fact is that the Stars look noticeably more awake than Lightning lately, plus they will perform with the support of their fans. But the Lightning have a streak of three consecutive losses in regulation time - it's hard to recover in a short period after such a loss, and even more so to show great hockey on the road. We think the home team will earn two points, at least in overtime and shootout.
