Los Angeles vs Washington Prediction: the Capitals Should Secure Another Win

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Los Angeles vs Washington, which will take place on March 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

LA Kings

LA can be pretty pleased with how they've done in the last three games. They left St. Louis and Vegas without points, and they're rivals in the Western Conference standings. They also beat the Islanders, with a three-goal difference. So, the Kings are still in with a shot at a top five spot. At the moment, they're in seventh with 77 points, and just one point behind fifth-place Edmonton.

Washington

No one expected such a great season from Washington. They're doing really well, just like Boston last season, but the main thing for the Capitals is to avoid the same mistakes as the Bears in the playoffs. After 65 games, the Capitals have 94 points, which is the best among all teams in the regular season. Winnipeg has the same number of points, but they played one more game. The Caps have beaten Ottawa, the Rangers, Detroit, Seattle, and Anaheim in the last five meetings, so they're in good form.

H2H Meetings

In the last five face-to-face meetings, Washington has a significant advantage in wins, with four wins against one for LA.

The experts of the bookie's campaign have set the total at 5.5 pucks. For a bet on the total over (5.5) pucks, they're offering a 1.862 coefficient, and for the reverse line with the total under, it's 2.025.

Expert Betting Tips

The bookies think the second team is more likely to win, and we think that's spot on. Washington has been training hard and is on track to reach the 100-point mark. LA are trying to get back into the top 5 of the Western Conference. And we should also remember that the Capitals are pretty easy to beat in games with LA - they've won seven out of the last ten. So, we reckon it's worth betting on the away team to win, with a bit of a safety net.
