The game is unevenly matched due to the gameplay of both teams. Tampa Bay playing at home is likely to make the most of the opportunities to score big and win the game.

Due to the overall inconsistent display, Arizona hardly have the strength that can keep them strong in this tie. They should put in a good effort but fall short.
