Detroit vs Washington: prediction for the NHL game
The Red Wings go against the Capitals in the NHL on Thursday night. What to expect from this game? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USADetroit have a powerful squad this season, but unfortunately, many of their players are injured right now. The Red Wings struggle to mount a winning streak and continue to deliver inconsistent results. For example, Derek Lalonde's men were crushed by Boston (1:5) and Buffalo (3:8) away, but got the upper hand over Minnesota (2:1) at home. The biggest problem for the Wings is that they often are too slow to return to their zone when under attack. On average, Detroit concede three to four goals.
Washington Capitals
USAWashington are currently outside the playoffs zone. The teams can't get two straight wins, and recently, after a (3:0) victory over Nashville, the Capitals lost to Capolina (2:3 SO) and Vegas (2:3 OT). Washington have many injury concerns amongs forwards, which reflects on the team's performance. In most games, the Capitals don't score more than twice.
Trends
СтавкаWashington IT under 3.5 goals
In the last 4 games, the visitors scored fewer than 4 goals.
Ставка1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In 3 out of 5 games of Washington, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
Tip and bets
Washington are in poor form and have too many injuries. Detroit, too, have ruled out some players due to injuries, but the team isn't as dependent on its forwards as the Capitals are. We expect the Red Wings to put up a fight and maybe even edge a regulation-time win.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Detroit
We don't think this will be a high-scoring match and will take the under. In the previous four games of Washington, the team scored no more three goals. We doubt they will be able to deliver four goals here.
Second bet - Washington IT under 3.5 goals
