Prediction for the NHL Florida Panthers vs Buffalo Sabres match which will take place on April 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Florida was doing nothing for almost the entire regular season, so it was outside the Cup eight at the finish. Realizing this, the Southerners began to change the situation, but it may already be too late. In the last three games, Paul Maurice's wards beat Toronto – 3:2, Montreal – 5:2, and Columbus – 7:0. Only before that, they had a 4-match series of defeats, and each time they lost to the Panthers in regular time. Now Florida is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings, one point behind the eighth.

Buffalo is a team with much more humble ambitions, but during the current regular season, they often showed results, which allowed them to stay close to the playoff. By March, the Sabres began to run out of strength. Therefore in the 12 opening games of the month, they had ten defeats, winning only Tampa Bay and Toronto - 5:3 and 4:3. The cup chase had already ended, but Buffalo scored nine out of ten possible points in the last five meetings. 

Florida is the winner of the last regular season, and Buffalo is the outsider of all previous NHL seasons. It was hard to imagine that at the finish of the regular season, these teams would be side by side in the standings, playing for the last ticket to the playoffs from the Eastern Conference. Therefore, a face–to–face game is a great chance to improve the situation. The favorites of this game are the Panthers, who will play at home, besides they have left behind six of the last seven meetings.  Florida not only constantly wins Buffalo in recent years but also scores a lot. In the previous seven games, the Panthers scored 31 times (4.43 on average per game), which is a very good result.
