Predators vs Maple Leafs Betting Prediction
Both teams have done well in the last few games, but the Leafs leave behind the Predators on many accounts. They have a very strong offensive unit and their defense complements their attack. Moreover, when playing at home, they have done exceptionally well, further putting them in an advantageous position.
The Predators are likely to struggle in this game as they lack a strong set of players to match the competition. On the road, they have been poor, which is further a big negative for them.
We should expect the Leafs to score a good number of goals to win this one.
Prediction: Maple Leafs, -1.5(+120)
