NJ Devils vs PIT Penguins Prediction: The home team will be stronger

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on March 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey is having a rather disappointing season in which they have little chance of making the playoffs. The team is now only seventh in the Metropolitan Division standings and 13th in the overall East table. They only have 68 points, so they need to improve to make the playoffs. But the Devils have seven straight losses in nine previous meetings, and the day before they lost 1:3 to Vegas.

Pittsburgh looks pretty much the same as New Jersey. The Penguins are also extremely bad in the current campaign, and at the moment they are in sixth place in the Capital Division table and 12th in the overall East table. The team has 69 points in its assets, which is definitely not a success. Also, Pittsburgh has five defeats in the past seven games, but in the previous one they managed to beat Detroit with a score of 6:3.

In this battle, we suggest favouring New Jersey. Although the Devils look no better than the Penguins in the course of the season, they are extremely convenient opponents for them. Thus, in the past six face-to-face meetings, it was the home team that was stronger. Plus now they have a day more rest. That's why we offer a bet on the Devils' final victory.
