Nashville - St. Louis: NHL match betting tip
St. Louis will arrive in Tennessee on March 28 and play against Nashville. Predz were among the favorites of the conference before the start of the season, but in the end, Roman Yossi's team is located in the basement of the West table a few weeks before the end of the regular season. The Blues have made a crazy move and intend to play in the playoffs. The musicians did not lose a single meeting in the second half of March and are ready to continue winning. Will it be possible to do this on the ice of the Bridgestone Arena? This is stated in the betting tip for the confrontation
Command Analysis
Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
Nashville was considered one of the strongest teams in the West before the start of the season, but failed to live up to its expectations. The Tennessee team plays poorly throughout the regular season and takes only 14th place in the conference table a few weeks before the start of the playoffs. The hosts still have a theoretical chance of reaching the final of the tournament, but everyone understands perfectly well that this is impossible. Before the matches, the Fords were defeated at home in Missouri (1-4), but then quite unexpectedly won in Raleigh (3-1).
Andrew Brunett's men play very poorly offensively and score only 2.56 goals this season. They lack stability in attack, while the club's best forward Filip Forsberg scored 66 points (28+38) in the goal+pass system and is a bright spot for the predators. Apart from him, there is only Jonathan Marchessault, who scored 49 goals (19+30).
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeremy Lauzon, Adam Wilsby and Roman Yossi will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Nashville throws 29 times per game on average
- Nashville holds an average of 24 power moves.
St. Louis Blues
USACurrent form
Until recently, few people could have imagined that St. Louis would be a real contender for the playoffs. The team led by Jim Montgomery gained crazy form and rose to the eighth place in the conference. Currently, the guests have 83 points in their piggy bank after 73 starts, and it is very important for them not to slow down their pace in order to keep competitors away from them. The musicians got into optimal shape by the second half of March and won seven matches in a row. At home, they easily dealt with Vancouver (4:3, OT), Chicago (4:1), Nashville (4:1) and Montreal (6:1).
The Missouri State club consistently plays strongly defensively and scores at least three goals per duel for eight consecutive games. St. Louis scored 33 goals in the last six games, which is a fantastic indicator. In addition, the Blues have conceded only seven times in the last five games and have been very good on their own half of the ice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pavel Buchnevich, Tori Krug and Colton Pareiko will not play in Tennessee.
Interesting betting trends
- St. Louis won 51.2% of face-offs
- The visitors make 27 shots on target per match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals

1.803rd periodbet: Nashville won't score
In four out of five games, the visitors did not concede in the third period.
2.25Tip and bets
St. Louis recently outplayed an opponent on each of the sites, and did it confidently and with the same score of 4:1. Jim Montgomery's men are the best team in the conference at this stage of the season and they seriously intend to gain a foothold in the top eight in the West. Nashville has already lost any real chance of making it to the finals of the tournament and continues to lose one meeting after another. We think that the Blues will be able to take two points once again. We offer a bet on winning the second one with a zero handicap.
Our betting tip is St. Louis with an Asian handicap (0) for 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Nashville is terrible at creating and executing moments. This season, they scored only 2.56 goals per game, and in two meetings against the Blues, they were able to score only two accurate hits in total. St. Louis' defense became impassable in the second half of March, and the visitors are unlikely to miss more than twice in a duel in Tennessee.
Prediction - Nashville's individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.77
Bet on the total
In the last two games between the rivals, only five goals were scored, and most of them were made by St. Louis. Nashville plays a little better at defending at home than away, so Andrew Brunett's players are able to hold off the Blues and not miss as much as in previous matches. We don't expect teams to make more than five accurate shots for two.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.77
