Tampa Bay

After the first game, John Cooper had a word with his players, as the Lightning looked a lot weaker than their opponents. If they were 1-2 at the first break, they could make it back, but if they were 2-5 at the second break, it was pretty unlikely. Obviously, the Lightning will need to equalise in the series before they head to Sunrise if they're to have any chance of winning the second home game. At the end of the regular season, the Lightning were one of the best teams when it came to playing on home ice. In 41 meetings, they won 29 games and lost four outside of three periods, with a total score of 161:93.

Florida

Florida has had a great start to the NHL playoffs. In the first game, it beat the powerful Tampa 6-2. If the Panthers can keep up their coordination on the offensive end like they did against Bobrovsky's goal, they'll probably make it to the East semifinals. Just to flag, the Panthers are the title holders at the moment, and things are looking pretty good for another win.

Tampa Bay vs Florida Match Prediction 25 April 2025

There's no clear favourite. Both teams look great, but the Panthers were better in the first game. Obviously, the Lightning needs to get even, otherwise it'll be a total nightmare on the road at 0-2. We think it's better not to focus on the outcomes. It's more useful to look at the performance. Florida played open hockey, but they didn't really get Lightning and that meant they only scored two pucks. As a general rule, bookies are offering great odds on the total over, so we suggest you take advantage of that.

Our match prediction: TO (5.5) for a coefficient of 1.87 in the bet365 bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: Total of Each Period Over 1.5 for a coefficient of 4.00 in the 1Xbet bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on the match: CS 3:4 for a coefficient of 21.00 in the betway bookmaker.
