LiontipsWashington vs Philadelphia. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 9, 2021).
Command Analysis
Washington are currently on the second line of the standings but they still have a chance to take the lead, since they are only two points behind Pittsburgh and have one game in hand. Away the Capitals crushed the Rangers twice, with the scores of 6:3 and 4:2, but after that they were defeated by Philadelphia at home, having scored only two goals - 2:4.
As a rule, Peter Laviolette's charges light the lamp at least three times per game, especially when playing at home. By the way, this season it almost never happened that Washington lost two home games in a row.
Philadelphia are ranked sixth in the Eastern Division with a total of 55 points. This season can rightfully be called a failure for the Flyers because a team with such great ambitions should qualify to the playoffs. Alain Vigneault will have a lot of work to do in the offseason.
Let's not forget that the Flyers have not won more than one game in a row for a long time. For example, recently they beat Pittsburgh at home (7:2), but in the next fixture, they were defeated by the Pens with a score of 3:7, completely failing in defense.
