Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay played really well during the regular season. John Cooper's team was all good. There weren't any global crises or personnel problems. So it was a pretty decent working season, with the Lightning finishing third in the Eastern Conference overall with 102 points. Lightning are always strong contenders for the Stanley Cup, and this season they've got a better shot at beating Florida in the first round. Last time, they lost 1-4.

Florida

Florida's regular season performance isn't as consistent as we'd like. But the Panthers are still one of the main favourites to win the Stanley Cup, and it's hard to see that changing – the team is going to defend the title! With 98 points, Paul Maurice's team is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, and fans were definitely expecting better. Last season, Florida was the obvious favourite to win the first Stanley Cup series against Tampa, but this season it's a different story.

Tampa Bay vs Florida Match Prediction 23 April 2025

It's really hard to say who the favourite is in this match-up. Over in the West, Dallas and Colorado are going head-to-head in a similar pairing, and they've got a 1-1 score after two meetings. We wouldn't be surprised to see a strong seventh game in these two pairings. As for the first one, we're going to go for Tampa Bay. To be fair, they did better at the end of the regular season, and they also beat Florida 5-1 on 16 April. The Lightning are also fired up to get their own back after last season, so they've really got to start the series with a win at Amalie Arena. We'll take their final victory.

Our match prediction: Team 1 Wins for a coefficient of 1.87 in the bet365 bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: W1 for a coefficient of CS 2.36 in the 1Xbet bookmaker.
