Arizona Coyotes vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction: The teams are the outsiders of their conferences

Prediction for the NHL Arizona Coyotes vs Philadelphia Flyers match, which will take place on December 12. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Arizona is having another fragile regular season, which has been no surprise for a long time. The Coyotes started the season traditionally weak, suffering six losses in their eight starts. They had a nice stretch in the first half of November, winning four games in five, but then the results dropped off again. Andre Torino's team suffered ten more losses and two more wins in their last 12 plays, but they beat tough opponents like Carolina and Boston 4:0 and 4:3, respectively. For now, however, Arizona remains in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

Philadelphia is another league outsider who can't enter playoff contention for the third year in a row. In their regular season debut, the Flyers decided to amaze the hockey community by producing an excellent start. They scored five wins in seven games, declaring their level of ambition to be very high. In their next 21 meetings, they managed only four wins in 17 losses. They beat reigning Stanley Cup champions Colorado 5:3 but then suffered two more losses that dropped the team to 15th place in the standings in the East.

Arizona and Philadelphia are the underdogs in their respective conferences, a status the Coyotes have held for all past seasons. At the same time, the Flyers are relatively new and have not yet come to terms with that status, so they are trying not to sink entirely into the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. The opponents are vastly superior to their opponents in terms of their roster, and the team's head coach is an experienced John Tortorella. Moreover, the statistics of personal meetings were in favor of the Black-orange squad, according to which they won both tournaments last season, so now we should bet on the victory of Philadelphia in the match for 1.95.

We should not expect the upcoming battle to please us with high-scoring activity. Arizona and Philadelphia in the current regular championship win exceptionally rarely, and the face-to-face struggle is an excellent opportunity to finally get the full two points. For this reason, the opponents will not play carelessly but will try to play for results. Moreover, in five of the last six meetings with them, there was a bookmaker's total under, so even now, the optimal option for the prediction seems to be the total under 5.5 pucks at odds close to 2.05. Separately it is worth looking at the bet on the total over 1.5 points of Travis Konecny for 2.85.
