Buffalo Sabres vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Lightning to have a successful road trip

Buffalo Sabres will take on Tampa Bay November 29 at 03:00. Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Buffalo is showing a mixed picture of hockey. They play as an average underdog, but at some point they can pull off some surprising wins. For example, recently the Sabres beat Montreal 7-2 and St. Louis (6-2) and then deservedly lost to New Jersey (1-3). It is worth noting that in the current season, the Sabres played 21 games, losing 12 of them. Thus, Buffalo ranks 14th in the Eastern Conference standings with 18 points.

Tampa Bay continues to fight to retain a spot in the Atlantic Division playoff zone. Ahead of the duel with Buffalo, the Lightning are sitting fourth and have two points more than fifth-ranked Florida. Also note that the Lightning are in good condition. In the last five games they have four wins and one loss on their account, with the total score of 20-14, fifth best in the East for that period.

Bookmaker analysts do not believe in the success of the hosts, with which we will probably agree. In the current season Buffalo shows unstable hockey, which is why Tampa Bay looks much more preferable. Should they lose this game, the Lightning risk missing the playoff zone, and with that in mind Nikita Kucherov and his team will do everything possible to earn two points. In our opinion, the safest option for betting is double chance for the guests + Total Over (4.5).
