Los Angeles Kings - Anaheim Ducks: NHL match betting tip
Los Angeles will try to get two points against Anaheim on April 11 and fight it on its own ice. The Kings had previously shown excellent results and dealt with many opponents without any problems. The Ducks are an inconvenient opponent for the home team, so they even reserved the last face-to-face match. What bet should I place on the upcoming event? You will learn the answer from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles is in fifth place in the Western Conference and has scored 97 points all season. By and large, the team is now striving to keep its current position and not allow itself to be bypassed by Edmonton. If she continues to perform in the same spirit as before, she will achieve this goal without any problems. Earlier, the Kings managed to issue a series of four Victorias.
They defeated San Jose (8:1), Winnipeg (4:1) on their ice, and after a 4-2 away victory over Utah, they confidently beat the Oilers at home with a score of 4:0. However, in the last match with Seattle, the kings unexpectedly suffered a defeat with a score of 1:2, although they were also considered favorites in that confrontation. Then they opened the scoring in the second minute, but unsuccessfully played the end of the starting segment, and then they could not score anymore, although they hit the opponent's goal with 29 shots.
But Jim Hiller's team continues to demonstrate extremely reliable play in their own zone and usually manages less than three missed goals on their own ice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeannot, Turcotte, Doughty and Edmondson will miss the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Los Angeles gets 7.45 minutes of penalty time

Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim was again left without a place in the playoffs this season and ended up in the 12th position of the Western Conference. At the same time, the team is now unlikely to be able to improve its position in the standings in any way, since it is separated from its nearest competitor by six points. However, lately she has tried to show her best side and pleased the fans with good results.
After disastrous away matches against Calgary (1-4) and Vancouver (2-6), the Ducks pulled themselves together and first dealt with Edmonton (3-2) on their ice, and then prevailed in a stubborn struggle over the flames with a score of 4:3 in overtime. The last meeting was as successful as possible for Cutter Gauthier, who first equalized the score and moved the game into extra time, and already scored the winning goal in overtime.
However, in general, goals are difficult for Anaheim. So, Greg Cronin's squad, on average, scores about two goals per match on the road, and it uses the numerical advantage very poorly, since it currently has only 12.2% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gibson, Fabbri, McGinn, Johnston and Suhanek will miss the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim gets an average of 8.64 minutes of penalty time.
- Anaheim wins 44.6% of face-offs

1.90The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the hosts
In three of the four matches against Anaheim, the hosts reserved the third period for themselves.
1.80Tip and bets
Los Angeles should recover quickly after an unsuccessful match, as it clearly does not want to finish the regular season below fifth place in the Western Conference.The Kings of the previous meetings against Anaheim, as a rule, reserved for themselves and dealt with the opponent within the regular time. The ducks, moreover, have not produced more than two Victoria in a row for a long period of time, so it is far from certain that they will be able to show their best in this confrontation.
Prediction - Los Angeles wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
At home, Los Angeles demonstrates a great defensive game and often manages with no more than two missed goals. Anaheim doesn't play as well offensively on the road as it does on its own ice, and it doesn't score much in face-to-face meetings with the Kings. So, in the last four matches against the Kings, the guests did not score more than one goal.
We're betting on Anaheim's individual total of less than two goals in 1.75
Bet on the total total
Past meetings between the clubs turned out to be grassroots and usually took place with less than six goals scored. The Kings play quite indoor hockey, especially when they perform on their own ice, so they are unlikely to allow the opponent to score a lot. In addition, the Kings are used to winning class matches against such teams. Based on this, we expect to see no more than five pucks.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.95
