Detroit vs Carolina Prediction: the Hurricanes Will Prove to be the Favorites

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Detroit vs Carolina, which will take place on March 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Detroit

Detroit's not in the best shape for the next game. The Red Wings played their last two games against Columbus. These were super important meetings for the Red Wings, as the Jackets are their main competitors in the East. But Todd McLellan's team didn't do too well, both at home and away. They're still in eighth, but if they lose again they could drop to ninth.

Carolina

Carolina's been looking a bit knackered lately. In the last ten meetings, they've only got eight points, which is pretty poor for a top team. But these things happen, and now the Hurricanes need to get back on their feet ASAP. Rod Brindamore's team have dropped to fifth in the Eastern Conference with 74 points. In their last game, Carolina somehow outplayed Calgary at home  – 2-1 (OT).

H2H Meetings

Carolina is feeling good about its chances in the next match against Detroit. In the last five head-to-head meetings, the Hurricanes have won four and lost just one.

Bookmakers' Options

The bookie company 1xbet thinks Carolina will be stronger in the next NHL match. You can bet on them to win in regulation time at 1.843 (including overtime and shootout) and 1.529 for the final victory. If you fancy the Red Wings to win (including OT and BUL), you can get 2.653, and if you think they'll win in three periods, you can get 3.56.

The pros of the betting campaign have set the total at 5.5 pucks. For a bet on the total over (5.5) pucks, you can get a 1.707 coefficient, and for the reverse line with the total under, you can get 2.246.

Expert Betting Tips

Detroit is probably best avoided after its recent winning streak, as is clear from its latest indicators. Carolina isn't doing too well either, but when it comes to the lineup, they're better than the team they're up against. We think this will have a big impact on the final score. We suggest not making anything up and betting on a clean victory for the second team.
