Los Angeles cannot establish a stable game in any way and continues to alternate major victories with painful defeats. Nashville, on the other hand, has won four meetings in a row, and has achieved success against several serious rivals. Our betting tip takes into account the current performance of the guests, and the main bet assumes that they will be able to score at least three goals
Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
The home court has not yet brought the Kings a noticeable advantage. In seven meetings in front of their fans, the team won only two, and the last game against Pittsburgh ended in a 2-0 defeat.:5. Peter Laviolette's men conceded three goals in the first period and were unable to restore equality. Corey Perry and Alex Laferriere scored goals, but the lack of defensive reliability again prevented a positive result.
The setback is especially unexpected after the crushing victory over San Jose (7:2), when Los Angeles showed excellent implementation. Before that, the team lost to Buffalo (2:3) and beat Ottawa in overtime (6:5). Artemy Panarin continues to play an important role in organizing the attack, and Adrian Kempe regularly creates dangerous moments. At the same time, the hosts are experiencing personnel difficulties, as Kevin Fiala and Mats Zuccarello are out of the squad due to injuries.
Nashville Predators
Four consecutive wins allowed the Predators to significantly improve their position in the Central Division. In the last meeting, Andrew Brunette's team beat St. Louis 3-1, demonstrating a fairly reliable defensive game. Steven Stamkos scored in the majority, Ross Colton scored the winning goal, and Nick Perbix sealed the advantage with an empty-net goal. Roman Yossi scored two assists, continuing the successful stretch.
Earlier, Nashville defeated Colorado (3:2 OT), Carolina (4:1) and Tampa Bay (5:4 B). The team gradually improved the organization of the game and began to use their opportunities ahead much more effectively. Stamkos is in good shape, and Filip Forsberg remains one of the main organizers of the attacks. There are certain concerns about the condition of Jonathan Marchessault, whose participation is questionable, but the other leaders are able to maintain high performance.
Nashville does not have a lot of shots, but in recent meetings it has noticeably increased in implementation. Against St. Louis and Carolina, the team successfully exploited the mistakes of their opponents, and in the match with Colorado they managed to achieve victory even with a fairly limited number of chances. Such efficiency can be a serious advantage in Los Angeles. The hosts regularly provide opponents with free space, and the unstable play of the goalkeepers only aggravates the situation. The quick attacks of the visitors after losing the puck will be especially dangerous for the Kings.
At the same time, Los Angeles has a strong enough attack and is able to impose a fight, so there is no reason to expect a unilateral confrontation. However, the stability of the Predators themselves is more important for the chosen bet. The team has scored at least three goals in the last seven matches, and in this segment they faced opponents of different levels. Stamkos and Forsberg regularly create danger, and Yossi helps develop positional attacks. We hope that the guests will once again be able to take advantage of their hosts' defensive problems and continue their productive streak.
Our betting tip is that Nashville has more than 2.5 goals in 1.70
