Anaheim vs Los Angeles: another defeat for the "Ducks"?
Anaheim Ducks
Los Angeles Kings
"Anaheim" will play the return leg against "Los Angeles" at home on May 2. We have prepared a forecast for this match, which will help determine the rate.
Anaheim Ducks
"Anaheim" continue to be in terrible shape, which is why they managed to win only one victory over "Los Angeles" in seven games (3:2). Goalkeeper Gibson played well, reflecting 93% of the shots. What is noteworthy, the "Ducks" could not even catch on to the points in the rest of the matches.
Oddly enough, the "Ducks" show themselves worst of all in the home arena, where the losing streak reached nine matches, and the team earned only a few victories throughout the season. Due to such weak results, "Anaheim" remains on the last line in the Western division, thereby missing the playoffs.
Upcoming Predictions for Hockey
Los Angeles Kings
"Los Angeles" played a lengthy seven-game home streak, beating only "Anaheim". In all other meetings, the "Kings" did not score points, losing twice to "Vegas" (2:4 and 2:6), "Minnesota" (2:4) and "Arizona" (0:4). As you can see, the team has serious gaps in defense, which is why crushing defeats occur.
Then the "Kings" had to meet again with "Ducks" away, having won another victory (2:1). Goalkeeper Quick should be commended for having saved 97% of the shots. True, the points earned will not help "Los Angeles" to get into the playoffs, since the team can only be content with the penultimate line in the table.
Statistics
- The teams failed to score in each period in two head-to-head matches in a row.
- "Los Angeles" opened the scoring in four out of five head-to-head matches.
Our Prediction
As expected, "Los Angeles" managed to defeat "Anaheim" again. This year, the teams have played as many as seven head-to-head matches, and only two of them have "Ducks" prevailed in regulation time. So it's worth betting again on the "Kings" to win.
Our prediction is a victory of "Los Angeles" with a handicap (-1.5) with the odds of 2.86 on 1xbet.
