Montreal Canadiens vs Nashville Predators Prediction: Nashville has had a poor run of form

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Nashville Predators match which will take place on December 6. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal Canadiens

Montreal is facing another season without a playoff spot. The team has fallen on hard times, and it will take a miracle to get them out of it. As a result, the Canadiens will have to settle for 21 points and last place in the Eastern Conference standings. For outsiders, Montreal has performed well in its last five games. Two wins—4:3 (OT) against Columbus and 2:1 (OT) against the Islanders—and a 2:3 (OT) loss to Utah have earned them five points.

Nashville Predators

Nashville is in worse shape than Montreal. Despite being penultimate in the West, they have one point less than their next opponents. It is also worth noting that the Predators are struggling with their conditioning. They have not won in five games in a row, three of which were away from home - 2:3 (OT) at Philadelphia, 2:3 (OT) at Tampa Bay, and 2:3 (OT) at Minnesota - and two of which were away from home - 2:5 at New Jersey and 2:3 at Toronto.

Expert Betting Tips

The bookmakers' analysts are more inclined to back the second team to win, but we disagree. Nashville has had a poor run of form of late—five defeats in a row. The Predators came into the game after the first half of the back-to-back, where they were beaten by Toronto by a single puck. On the other hand, Montreal will be playing in front of their home crowd, where they have won three of their last five meetings and lost just once after regulation time.
