Carolina Hurricanes vs. Nashville Predators Game 4 Predictions

Score Prediction Predators 3 Hurricanes 2

The home team has won nine straight games played between both teams, so maybe start there. The Predators, home underdogs, also present great value so consider Nashville to tie the series at 2-2. The goal total going UNDER does seem to be the better wager, however, with the goal total going UNDER in three of the last five meetings.

Also consider the O/U record for both teams this season, a combined 50-57-11, failing to go OVER 68 times. A handful of Hurricanes are worth goal-scoring prop consideration, as both of the popular markets are difficult decisions. Between the two the UNDER feels like a better play - while the winner is a coin flip, but it's tough to argue the home team trend.

One might look at the trend and think the home team is due to lose after winning nine straight between the two. If you fancy the Hurricanes go to player props instead of the expensive road ML, but there's a lot to like about Nashville if picking a winner between value and trends.
