Detroit vs Tampa Bay Prediction: the Red Wings Will Be the Ones to Gain Points

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Detroit vs Tampa Bay, which will take place on January 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Detroit

Things aren't going the right way for Detroit at the moment. It looked like Todd McLellan's arrival might be having an effect, but then the Red Wings failed four out of five games when they calmed down. But it was a road trip, and you can forget about that, but after they got back to Little Cesars Arena, the team beat Montreal 4-2. It's still a long way to the wild card, though - Detroit is currently in 13th position in the Eastern Conference standings with 49 points.

Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is doing pretty well. They've had a not-bad season, to be exact, as the team doesn't seem to be tightly-knit ansd stabe enough. John Cooper's squad has had their fair share of setbacks, even recently losing 3-5 to Toronto and 2-3 to Montreal. But the day before that, they managed to defeat Chicago (4-3), and that was in overtime, too. In the Eastern Conference standings, Tampa Bay is currently sixth with 55 points.

Expert Betting Tips

The pros at the bookies think Tampa Bay is pretty much set to win, but we're not so sure about writing off Detroit. The Red Wings have had a recent losing streak, but it was an away tour. Now, they're back home, though, they've won six out of seven games since Todd McLellan arrived. The Lightning hasn't been doing too well either, winning on the road only once in the last nine games. And they're on the second day of a back-to-back. So, we're thinking the hosts will probably win without being behind after the first period.
