Philadelphia Flyers vs Washington Capitals: Capitals perform better away than at home

Prediction for the NHL Philadelphia Flyers vs Washington Capitals match, which will take place on February 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Flyers have lost their last three games. First, they lost both at home and away to Detroit (3:6 and 2:4), and then they had a good game against Pittsburgh but lost in overtime. After that, the Philadelphia club became depressed, as their playoff zone had dropped another three points. The team sits in the penultimate spot in the standings of the Metropolitan Division with 39 points.

Washington certainly got on their fans' nerves. They had a disappointing five-game losing streak at home, but the Capitals have no trouble on the road, with four wins in their last four games. Thanks to an excellent first half in the NHL, Washington is well placed in the playoff zone, and their lead over fifth-placed Columbus currently stands at 16 points.

In this pairing, we will favour the visitors. Washington has been more convincing on the road than Philadelphia at home. Also, the Capitals urgently need to make amends to their fans because it is unacceptable for such a club to show such results. The Flyers are passing opponents, and we don't think the visitors will have any problems. In general, we suggest not making anything up and playing for a clean win of the second team. Prediction: Washington will win.
