Nashville vs Chicago Prediction: Betting on the Predators

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Nashville vs Chicago, which will take place on March 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nashville

Nashville's been doing well recently. In the last five games, they've got three wins and two losses. First, the Predators outplayed Winnipeg, the best in the regular season, then were weaker than two representatives of New York, and finally outplayed Boston and Seattle. Despite this, the Predators haven't moved much up the Western table. They're still in 14th place with 53 points, 16 behind eighth Vancouver.

Chicago

Chicago is coming up next, and they've got a series of four matches to play for. During this run, they've disappointed Anaheim, Los Angeles and Utah, while only Ottawa couldn't do the same. So, the Hawks might just be able to move up from last in the Central Division table. At the moment, they're five points behind Nashville, who are second-to-last, but if they win the next game, they'll be just two points behind the Predators.

H2H Meetings

Chicago is a pretty easy opponent for Nashville. In the last five head-to-head meetings, the Predators have won four and the Hawks only one.

Expert Betting Tips

Chicago has improved their form, but it'll be tough for them to beat Nashville away. The last time the Hawks won at Bridgestone Arena was way back in March 2023, nearly two years ago. And if we look at the bigger picture, the Predators should be pretty comfortable against the Blackhawks. It's also worth mentioning that Chicago has been pretty rubbish when they've been on the road, losing eight out of ten games. So, we suggest betting on a clean win for the home team.
