Los Angeles continues to experience difficulties on its own court, where it managed to win only one victory in five matches. The recent loss to Buffalo turned out to be especially unpleasant, when the opponent scored the decisive goal in the end. Things are no better in San Jose. The team has lost points in four of the last five meetings, and its leading forwards have noticeably slowed down. At the same time, the first full-time game of the season ended with the victory of the sharks in overtime with a score of 5:4. Let's analyze the current state of the opponents in our betting tip and select a bet
Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
Home performances became a serious problem for Los Angeles at the beginning of the championship. Peter Laviolette's men have won only one out of five meetings, although they feel much more confident on the road. For example, we recently defeated the Rangers with a score of 6:3. But after returning to California, the team unexpectedly lost to Buffalo (2:3). In that match, Corey Perry and Andre Lee helped to win back from 0:2, but a few minutes before the siren, Teige Thompson converted the majority and brought the victory to the guests.
The previous meeting with Ottawa was even more unusual. The Kings led 5-1 after two periods, but managed to lose the advantage and allowed the opponent to even the score. Only Quinton Byfield's goal in overtime helped avoid defeat - 6:5. At the same time, the performance remains unstable. Los Angeles has scored no more than three goals in seven of the last ten games, and the defense is clearly lacking in reliability.
San Jose Sharks
McLean Celebrini still can't break his goalless streak. The young leader of San Jose has not scored for six consecutive matches, and during this period he limited himself to two assists. The other attackers aren't helping much to fix the situation either. In the previous four meetings, the team scored only five times, suffering three defeats. The duels with Buffalo (0:2) and Ottawa (1:5) were especially unpleasant, where the attack could do almost nothing against the opponents.
The last home game against Calgary also ended in failure. The Sharks were trailing 0-2 by the middle of the third period, after which Sam Dickinson reduced the gap. However, they didn't have enough strength for more, and the meeting ended in defeat.:2. Yaroslav Askarov deflected 20 shots, but his efforts were not enough. Now Ryan Warsofsky's team is heading to Los Angeles, where they will try to repeat the October victory over the Kings.
The main question before this meeting is related to the performance of the opponents. San Jose has rarely created truly dangerous moments lately, and Celebrini's decline has significantly limited the possibilities of attack. Los Angeles also does not have a stable game ahead, although it is able to hold very productive meetings from time to time. However, against Buffalo, the hosts again faced difficulties in completing attacks. Even when equality was restored, the team could not build on its success. Therefore, you should not count on a large number of goals just because of the problems in the opponents' defense.
The first face-to-face meeting of the season turned out to be productive, but since that time the position of the teams has changed significantly. Now both are experiencing difficulties with implementation and too often remain without victories. The hosts will certainly try to act more carefully in defense, especially after unsuccessful home performances. The guests also need to establish their own game first of all. We expect a fairly hard-fought match, in which the opponents will not be able to please with high performance.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 6.5 goals in 1.80 seconds.
