Vegas vs Washington Prediction: the Knights Should Stop the Capitals

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Vegas Golden Knights vs Washington Capitals, which will take place on November 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vegas has been killing it this season. The Golden Knights are impressing the audience with 11 wins in 17 games and only six losses. The team is currently in third place in the overall Western standings with 24 points, with only Winnipeg and Minnesota doing better. On the other hand, it's worth mentioning that after two losses in a row, the Vegas team improved with two victories in a row. First, they beat Anaheim 3-2, and then Utah 4-2.

We should also give credit to Washington for this season. The Capitals are doing really well, even though they don't have a lot of resources. They're making the most of what they have. In 16 games, Alexander Ovechkin's team has won 11 and failed five, so with 23 points, they are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On the other hand, we should mention that Washington has been alternating wins and defeats for seven games until it beat Colorado 5-2.

Analysts say Vegas is the favorite for the upcoming meeting, and we agree. Washington is playing well this season, but the Golden Knights are still the stronger team. They're great at home, with eight wins in nine games, and the Capitals lost in the capital a month ago. They'll definitely try to take revenge at home. In general, we suggest betting on the hosts to win.
