Seattle Kraken vs Los Angeles Kings: NHL match betting tip
Seattle will sort things out with Los Angeles in the upcoming fight on April 16. In the last match of the season, the hosts will certainly try to please the home stands with a bright game and get Victoria against a very difficult opponent. Moreover, the Bylsma team usually reserved the previous meetings in the current season. Is it worth betting on his success this time? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle is ranked 13th in the Western Conference. The team, of course, had an unsuccessful season, and was inferior to many rivals in most aspects. To be fair, even before the start of the regular season, no one considered the club to be a serious contender for the playoffs. It should be noted that for all six months he lacked stability.
Even recently, kraken was able to produce an excellent series of three victories, after which he failed two matches in a row. So, after defeating the same Kings (2:1), Dan Bylsma's team lost to Utah (1:7) and Vegas (1:2), but they regained their composure at home and defeated St. Louis 4-3 in a hard fight.
In general, with the support of the home stands, Seattle only plays a little better than away, but still, on average, there are at least three goals in the net. Also, the starting twenty minutes is the most unfortunate for kraken, in which he has a 63:92 ratio for goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, the team has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Seattle wins 48.6% of face-offs
- Kraken makes an average of 27 shots on target
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles remains one of the leaders of the Western Conference and is currently on the fourth line of the standings. The team is literally one point ahead of its closest pursuer, Colorado, and can no longer worsen its position, since, unlike its opponent, it has two matches left. In addition, this month the kings are producing strong results and ending most of the fights in their favor.
Even before the unsuccessful match against Seattle, the Kings expanded the series to four victories, and after the unsuccessful match they dealt with Anaheim (6:1) and Colorado (5:4) on their ice, and also proved their superiority over Edmonton with a score of 5:0 on the road, while getting off without a single missed goal. Goalkeepers Darcy Kemper and David Rittich, of course, did an excellent job in that match and parried a combined 21 shots between the two.
In addition, Jim Hiller's squad is currently playing very well offensively, so in many meetings it opens up the opponent's defense at least three or four times and enjoys a great numerical advantage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeannot and Edmundson will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Los Angeles wins 50.7% of face-offs
- On average, the kings perform 21 power moves.

1.46Tip and bets
In this confrontation, none of the teams has the proper motivation. However, Seattle certainly wants to finish this season beautifully and not lose face in front of the fans. Nevertheless, the hosts are inferior to their opponent in class, so it is far from certain that they will be able to hold the match at the same high level as the duel a week ago. Plus, the Kings themselves are in great shape at the moment. Based on this, we suggest betting on a formal favorite.
Prediction - Los Angeles wins with a handicap (0) in 1.87
Betting on an individual total
In this confrontation, we would not expect a large number of goals from the home team. Los Angeles, even in the last confrontation with Colorado, remained without conceding goals. Lately, in general, the Kings have been known to play solid defense and in most cases have managed with two or fewer goals conceded. Seattle, in turn, has not scored more than twice in the last three meetings.
We're betting on Seattle's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.98
Bet on the total total
Past fights between the clubs often turned out to be not particularly spectacular and took place in a viscous struggle. The last meeting between them ended with only three goals scored. The Seattle Kings simply won't be allowed to play their hockey this time and create a lot of chances at their own goal. Also, the kraken itself usually defends well against Los Angeles, so it makes sense to put less on the total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.95
