Nashville Predators vs Minnesota Wild Prediction: Who will be stronger in this match?

Prediction for the NHL Nashville Predators vs Minnesota Wild match, which will take place on April 14. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Nashville Predators

Nashville has not been able to improve throughout the current season. The Predators missed the playoffs - they are tenth in the West standings with 90 points and fifth in the Central standings ahead of the game. After a 0:2 loss to Winnipeg, Nashville beat Calgary in a shootout with a score of 3:2.

Minnesota Wild

Minnesota, unlike Nashville, can already take credit for the season. The Wild had an excellent regular season, scoring 102 points in 81 games. They are in sixth place in the Western Conference standings but can still surpass fifth-place Los Angeles, which also has 102 points. We should note that after beating St. Louis (5:3) and Chicago (4:2), Minnesota hosted a highly motivated Winnipeg at home and failed to overcome them, a 1:3 defeat.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers experts see Nashville as the favorite in this battle, but we wouldn't be too quick to write Minnesota off. The Wild are stronger than the Predators, plus they have tournament motivation - they can make the playoffs not from sixth but from fifth place in the West. Kirill Kaprizov is also back and will surely try to play a great game in the run-up to the playoffs - we'll take the visitors not to lose as our main bet.
