Arizona Coyotes vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction: The Kings began to improve their position

Prediction for the NHL Arizona Coyotes vs Los Angeles Kings match, which will take place on December 24. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Arizona is having another very weak regular season without any severe Cup ambitions. The team picked up three wins in four games in mid-December, which could be considered a local success for them. But they lost their last three games to Buffalo 2:5, Montreal 2:3, and the day before to Vegas 2:5. Three more losses leave Arizona in 14th place in the Western Conference standings while trailing by more than ten points from the Final Eight, which is virtually impossible to recover.

The Kings are making progress gradually, getting closer to the number of teams capable of clinching the Stanley Cup. In mid-December, the Californian lost heavily to Buffalo - 0:6, but after that defeat, they became so excited that they won four straight. It allowed the Black and White to fourth place in the Western Conference.

Arizona and Los Angeles are completely different teams at the moment. Quite recently, they were the outsiders in the Western Conference, but gradually the Kings began to improve their position and are now among the leaders. At the same time, the Coyotes remain in the basement of the standings. The statistics of personal meetings in favor of Californians show that they won three matches in a row, each time during regular time. Now the Black and Whites are on the rise, they have not lost four games in a row, so we should bet on the victory of Los Angeles with the odds of about 1.95. It is unlikely that they will win the game in a row.

We will unlikely see a high performance in the upcoming matchup. In the middle of December, Los Angeles suffered a crushing defeat from Buffalo - 0:6, after which the team strongly advised hockey players to focus on defense. In the next four games with the Kings, there were only 19 goals (4.75 average per game). Arizona also has no reason to play too openly, so the best option for the prediction seems to be a total under 5.5 pucks at odds close to 2.25, and it is worth looking at the bet on the total over 0.5 points of Adrian Kempe for 1.8.
