Nashville vs Montreal: the Predators to earn points

Nashville will take on Montreal on December 5. Let’s see how the opponents are doing and what’s best to bet on.

In the game before last, Nashville faced Colorado and effortlessly defeated them, scoring six unanswered goals. However, the next game witnessed Boston put them in their place. In that game, the Predators lost by a score of 0-2. Nashville will face one of the outsiders in the upcoming game, and they simply have no right to neglect the points, because they are a pity one point short of the playoff zone.

It wasn’t long ago that Montreal pulled off a small sensation, beating Pittsburgh 6-3 on the road, but they're back to their old ways. In their last two games, the Canadiens are coming off losses, 1-2 to Vancouver and 1-4 to Colorado. It is worth noting that Montreal has a lot of problems both on offense and defense. They have the worst goal difference in the Eastern Conference (-33). The head coach needs to fix such an upsetting situation.

Nashville is the favorite in this match, and it is not surprising. The Predators have beaten the Canadiens in 7 out of the last ten face-offs. Montreal looks very sad on the road, with eight losses in the last ten games. We think that the home advantage will let Nashville add two points to their piggy bank without much trouble.

Prediction: Nashville will win.

• W1 for 1.80;
• W1+TO (4.5) for 2.10;
• W1 for 1.68.
