World Hockey Championship 2024. Group B. Another opening match of the game day and, unlike Group A, here we have a clash between the favourite team and the underdog team. It seems that this match will be quite predictable as the teams are of completely different levels. The USA national team will play against the Kazakhstan national team. USA The Americans arrived at this tournament with a surprisingly decent line-up. Usually, teams from the USA include a few NHL players, and the rest of the squad is composed of players from the AHL, Europe, or even college teams. This year, however, almost all players in the USA team represent the National Hockey League. But so far, their results leave much to be desired. After five matches, the USA has three wins, one loss in overtime and one loss in regulation time, accumulating 10 points. While their defeat against Sweden can be understoodgiven that Sweden also has a very strong line-upthe 2:5 scoreline seems reasonable. However, losing to Slovakia in overtime with a 4:5 score looks extremely bad. Currently, the USA might end up outside the playoffs if Latvia pulls together for the end of the tournament, and the Americans start losing to everyone. Kazakhstan The Kazakhstan national team finds itself in an interesting situation. This is their second tournament without naturalised players. Last year, the team had no issues retaining their spot in the elite division of hockey. This year, problems are beginning. They started the tournament epically, defeating Francean elite middle-tier teamfor years with a 1:3 score. However, then came four consecutive defeats. As a result, after five matches, Kazakhstan has only three points, just one point ahead of Poland, which is in the last place. After their match with the USA, Kazakhstan will face Poland, which will likely determine which team will leave the elite division. Currently, Kazakhstan sits in seventh place in Group B. Their goal difference is -12, with only eight goals scored. Only the French have scored fewer goals at the time of writing. They have conceded 20 goals, placing them fifth in this regard on the tournament table. Head-to-Head The USA and Kazakhstan have faced each other four times. In all these matches, the USA emerged victorious. Prediction Of course, the favourite for this match, according to Betsiti, is the USA, with a winning odds of 1.07. In contrast, the odds for Kazakhstan's victory are 24.00. It is evident that you should bet on the USA's victory. Even nandciap 1 (-3.5) is offered at only 1.68, which is quite low but at least something with a higher coefficient.

World Ice Hockey Championship 2024, Group A. One of the two opening matches of the day will see a clash between two teams who are theoretically still fighting for a playoff spot, but their main battle is to remain in the elite of world ice hockey. However, with a win, they would be extremely close to making it to the playoffs, that is, securing the fourth spot. Norway will face off against Austria. Norway Interestingly, this team has been part of the world's elite ice hockey for the past few years as a solid mid-table side. They have never managed to make it to the playoff list. However, now with the main national ice hockey tournament losing two teams, they have a chance to succeed. They are currently only four points behind the fourth spot, which offers a playoff opportunity, with remaining matches against Austria, their direct competitor, and Great Britain, the group's main underdog. After five matches in the tournament, Norway has one win and four losses. Interestingly, all matches ended in regulation time, and the only victory was against Denmark. The Scandinavian team has a goal difference of minus ten, having scored nine goals, the second lowest in Group A, but with 19 goals conceded, they rank fifth in the group. Austria The situation with Austria is also quite interesting. Unlike Norway, they are not a solid mid-table world team but rather an elevator team that moves between the different groups of the world championship. While it seemed they would follow a similar path in this championship, Austria's performance has been fairly decent, albeit not in terms of results but gameplay. They managed to take the match against Canada into overtime, only losing 7-6. Their notable achievement was defeating Finland 3-2, coming back from a 0-2 deficit in the third period, a victory that keeps them in the hunt not just for survival but possibly even for playoffs. Currently, they sit in the sixth spot on the table. After five meetings, Austria has four points, one win, one overtime loss, and three losses. Their goal difference is minus nine, with 15 goals scored, ranking fifth in the group, while conceding 24 goals, the second highest in the group. Head-to-Head Norway and Austria have clashed three times, with Norway coming out on top in all three encounters. Prediction BetCity sees Norway as the favourite for this match, offering odds of 2.13 for a win, compared to 3.00 for Austria. I would lean towards betting on Norway since they seem to have a better chance of winning, reinforced by their head-to-head record.

Today, as part of Group B of the Ice Hockey World Championship in the Czech Republic, the national teams of Germany and Poland will face off. Germany National Team In the 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship, the German team is reaffirming their ambitions aimed at reaching the playoffs by showcasing strong performances against direct competitors. Following their successful run in the previous tournament where the Germans clinched silver, they continue to follow Coach Harold Kreis's strategy. Despite the absence of their star player, Leon Draisaitl, Germany has successfully defeated teams such as Slovakia and Latvia with scores of 6-4 and 8-1 respectively, as well as Kazakhstan with a score of 8-2, demonstrating a high level of shot conversion. Germany is currently displaying impressive scoring rates, especially in matches against weaker opponents. NHL leader John-Jason Peterka stands out with his performance, having accumulated 6 points in the last two games. Additionally, ethnic Pole Wojciech Stachowiak has also made a significant contribution with 4 assists. These victories have allowed Germany to occupy high positions in the standings, solidifying their third place in their group and highlighting their ability to dominate weaker teams. However, despite their success against lower-ranked teams, Germany has faced difficulties in matches against the leaders of the group. Losses to the USA and Sweden, both with a score of 1-6, highlight the team's defensive issues that have led to numerous dangerous moments at the Germans' goal. These matches have been a severe test for the squad, exposing weak points that need to be addressed for successful performances in the upcoming rounds of the tournament. Poland National Team The Poland national team, having returned to the top division of world ice hockey for the first time in the last two decades, has faced significant challenges in the 2024 World Championship. Their new campaign began with a tense match against Latvia, ending in a 4-5 overtime loss. This result showcased the Polish team's potential; however, subsequent games revealed significant weaknesses, leading to a series of losses and evident last place in the Group B standings. In their last game against the USA, the Polish team valiantly fell short with a score of 1-4, conceding two goals in each of the following periods after a 0-0 draw in the first 20 minutes. The lone goal for Poland was scored by Grzegorz Pasiut, which provided little solace for the team that couldn't turn the tide of the game. The team's prospects have been further exacerbated by the absence of key players due to injuries, making the task of staying in the elite division even more formidable. With 7 consecutive losses, including 2 in overtime and one in a shootout, the Polish team's morale isn't at its best. At this point, it's highly unlikely that Poland will be able to put up any substantial resistance in the remaining matches. The expectation is that the team might once again exit Division A following the current championship, which will be a disappointment for both players and fans. Head-to-Head The teams last met back in 1992 when Germany triumphed with a score of 11-0 at the World Championship, and earlier in the same year, they won 4-0 at the Olympics. Match Prediction: Germany vs Poland Though Poland is the clear underdog, they haven't lost by more than 4 goals even to the powerful Americans. Germany has almost secured their playoff spot, but Poland will definitely put up a fight. Im betting on Poland's handicap (+4).

In Group A of the World Ice Hockey Championship in the Czech Republic, the national teams of Canada and Finland will face off. Team Canada Team Canada, as one of the main contenders for the 2024 World Ice Hockey Championship victory, successfully navigated the group stage, winning all 4 matches and amassing 11 points, positioning them second in Group A. The Canadians displayed impressive scoring prowess, netting 20 goals while conceding 10. The initial games against relatively weaker opponents such as Great Britain, Hungary, Denmark, and Austria served as effective warm-ups before more serious challenges. However, not all matches were smooth for the "Maple Leafs." Despite significant victories, the game against Austria exposed certain defensive issues within the team. Leading 6:1 after two periods, the Canadians allowed the Austrians to equalise in the third period, necessitating overtime, where Canada clinched a 7:6 victory. This game highlighted the team's instability despite their formidable roster, including stars like John Tavares. Upcoming matches for Canada include stronger opponents such as Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. These fixtures will be true tests for the team, as bookmakers and experts expect to see higher-quality hockey, particularly in the playoffs. Canada has prepared seriously for their first tough challenge against Finland, with two days of rest to demonstrate their best hockey at the tournament. Team Finland At the 2024 World Ice Hockey Championship, Team Finland, led by coach Jukka Jalonen, is displaying their traditionally high level of game organisation, even in the absence of standout stars. The team is known for their disciplined defence and ability to capitalise on offensive opportunities, often leading to success at international tournaments. In the current championship, the Finns have already secured three wins, including impressive results against Great Britain (8:0) and Norway (4:1), but also suffered two unexpected losses to the Czech Republic (0:1 in a shootout) and Austria (2:3), placing them fourth in Group A with a total of 14 goals scored and 5 conceded. The Finnish team encountered unforeseen difficulties in their game against Austria, where despite an early two-goal lead, they relinquished the victory, serving as a serious lesson. Despite their potential and quality of play, the Finns are struggling with consistency, as seen in their inability to maintain a lead during critical moments. These instances are particularly painful given the need to accumulate points to strengthen their position in the standings. The next match against a strong Canadian team will be a significant test for the Finns. Last year, in the quarterfinal stage, Canada claimed a convincing 4:1 victory, leaving Finland without medals. This clash with Canada, who boast one of the strongest rosters in the tournament, will be a crucial moment for the Finnish team in their quest to progress from the group and redeem themselves from last year's setbacks. Head-to-head In recent years, matches between Canada and Finland in international tournaments have often been bright and memorable. Since 2021, the teams have met 5 times, showcasing intense and equal battles. Their last match took place on 25 May 2023 at the World Championship, where Canada achieved a convincing 4:1 victory. A year earlier, in the World Championship final, Finland triumphed in overtime with a 4:3 score, taking home the gold medals. In December 2021, at the Channel One Cup, the Finns also demonstrated their superiority, defeating Canada 4:1. However, the same year at the World Championship held in the summer, the scenario was different; on 6 June 2021, Canada edged out with a 3:2 overtime victory. Their clash on 1 June 2021 at the World Championship was equally thrilling, with Finland overcoming Canada in a shootout contest with a 3:2 score. Prediction for the Canada vs Finland match After their fiasco against Austria, the Finns are clearly determined to fight to keep their chances of progressing from the group alive. The Canadians also managed to take the game against Austria to overtime despite leading 6:1. Therefore, I am betting on a positive handicap for the nominal visitors. Jalonen's men need to pull themselves together.

Tomorrow afternoon, Group A of the Ice Hockey World Championship will see a clash between Denmark and Switzerland. Team Denmark Team Denmark faces significant challenges in the 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship due to the absence of several key players. Despite these setbacks, the team occasionally delivers performances reminiscent of their showing at the 2022 Olympics. In the current tournament, Denmark has suffered losses against Canada (1-5), Norway (0-2), and the Czech Republic (4-7). Upcoming matches against Switzerland and Finland offer minimal chances for points. The squad lacks star players, although it does feature some promising talents. Their level is insufficient to compete with elite teams, as evidenced by three defeats and 15 goals conceded in four matches. Despite these issues, Denmark has managed to secure two victories, scoring 14 goalsa commendable outcome for them. The team excels in counter-attacks, compact defence, and effective play during penalties. Currently, they occupy fifth place in Group A with six points, thanks to victories over Austria (5-1) and Great Britain (4-3). However, defensive problems and poor organisation remain their primary obstacles. Team Switzerland Team Switzerland aims to reclaim the top spot in their group at the 2024 World Championship. In the last two tournaments, they won their group but were eliminated in the quarter-finals. This year, the team displays excellent form, securing victories against Norway (5-2), narrowly defeating Austria (6-5), winning against the Czech Republic in a shootout (2-1), and confidently beating Great Britain (3-0).Switzerland holds second place in Group A and prepares for crucial matches against Canada and Finland. In the 2023 World Championship, the Swiss won six group games, losing only in overtime to Latvia, but fell to Germany in the quarter-finals. The coaching staff has shifted focus this year, prioritising tactics. The team played cautiously against the Czech Republic and displayed solid defence against Great Britain, winning 3-0. With a powerful roster that includes stars like Roman Josi and Nico Hischier, coached by Patrick Fischer, Switzerland shows excellent game organisation, maintains concentration, and utilises counter-attacks effectively, scoring 16 goals and conceding 8 in four matches. Head-to-Head On 5 May 2022, during the World Championship, Switzerland trounced Denmark 6-0. On 12 February 2022, at the Olympics, Denmark claimed victory over Switzerland with a score of 5-3. On 23 May 2021, at the World Championship, Switzerland edged out Denmark 1-0. Thus, in the last three encounters, Switzerland has secured two wins, while Denmark has one. Prediction for Denmark vs Switzerland Switzerland looks very solid in this World Championship, playing like group favourites, in contrast to Denmark, who barely defeated Great Britaina team Switzerland beat 3-0. I expect a victory for the nominal visitors with a handicap of (-1.5).

In the 6th match of the NHL Eastern Conference, Colorado Avalanche will face off against Dallas Stars in the morning of 18 May. Colorado Avalanche Colorado Avalanche have never won a series after trailing 1-3, so they have a chance to make franchise history if they can win the next two games against the Dallas Stars. The Avalanche's offence came alive in Game 5, securing a 5-3 victory in Dallas on Thursday. Now, Avalanche can even the score in the Western Conference semi-final series in Game 6, which will be held tomorrow in Denver. For Dallas, it will be an opportunity to finish the series on the road, where they have been nearly unbeatable this postseason. The victory on Thursday gave Avalanche two significant things: they stayed alive in the series, and they finally led during regulation time. The only other lead they had was when Miles Wood scored in overtime of Game 1. The team has been playing from behind in every game of the series. They also managed to beat Dallass goalie Jake Oettinger, who was seemingly impenetrable in the two games in Denver, allowing just one goal per game. His teammates are not worried about him going forward, knowing he is mentally resilient and ready for the next game. The absence of Dallas's first-line centre Roope Hintz, who was crucial in slowing down Colorado's top line, also helped the Avalanche. Dallas Stars Dallas Stars enter this game leading the series 3-2 but failed to close out the series in Game 5 on home ice. The Stars dominated Games 3 and 4 in Colorado but couldn't maintain that momentum in Game 5. Dallas outscored Colorado by a combined score of 9-2 in the two games in Colorado. They lost the first game of the series but then won Games 2, 3, and 4 with scores of 5-3, 4-1, and 5-1, respectively. In the first round of the playoffs, the Stars defeated Vegas in 7 games, winning 2 out of 3 road games. Dallas had their chances, but Colorado managed to take the upper hand in the third period, outplaying the Stars 3-1. Goalie Jake Oettinger made 22 saves, but it wasnt enough. Oettinger will be back in net for the next game. Now, Dallas's task is to regain their game and close out the series despite Colorado's resistance. The Stars have showcased excellent road play in this playoff and will look to capitalise on this in the upcoming game. Hintz exited Game 4 with an upper-body injury and missed Game 5, while Radek Faksa returned after missing 3 games. Hintz's status for the game is unknown. Dallas's defenceman Chris Tanev also sustained an injury but showed true hockey grit when he returned to the ice after losing a tooth during Game 5. Prediction for Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars After losing Nichushkin, Colorado's chances of advancing past Dallas have dwindled. The Russian, as the best offensive player for Avalanche alongside MacKinnon, was a key figure but has been caught on banned substances and will miss at least six months. Although rumours suggest that Valeri has major issues with painkillers, so he is given a chance for rehabilitation instead of having his contract terminated. Dallas can easily play defensively, and I am betting on the individual total under (ITU) of the hosts being less than 3.5.

In Group B of the Ice Hockey World Championship in the Czech Republic, Latvia and Sweden will clash tomorrow. Team Latvia At the 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship, Team Latvia has shown mixed results, highlighting both strengths and obvious weaknesses. The team's defence, despite early successes, has been lacking, particularly evident in their heavy 1:8 defeat against a strong German side. This match exposed all the defensive flaws of the Latvian team, raising concerns ahead of their upcoming games against top opponents. Coach Harijs Vitolins's squad has managed to gather seven points from four matches, standing fourth in Group B, within the playoff zone, keeping their hopes alive for further success. Despite the challenges, Latvia commenced the tournament with three victories, defeating Poland and France in overtime with scores of 5:4 and 3:2, respectively, and more convincingly overcoming Kazakhstan with a 2:0 result. These games demonstrated the team's ability to handle pressure and achieve results, despite previous defensive shortcomings. As the bronze medalists of last years championship, Latvia continues their fight for a spot in the next stage, showing high ambitions and a drive to utilise every opportunity to improve their tournament standings. Team Sweden Team Sweden, a frontrunner of the 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship, is showcasing outstanding performances in the group stage. Under the guidance of coach Sam Hallam, the Swedes confidently lead Group B's standings, having secured the maximum points from their first four matches. Sweden displayed their prowess by consecutively defeating strong opponents: the USA with a score of 5:2, Poland 5:1, Germany 6:1, and Kazakhstan 3:1, underlining their offensive dominance and defensive efficiency. In this tournament, Sweden not only reaffirms their status as a contender for top honours but also highlights the excellent form of their key players. Andre Burakovsky and Marcus Johansson stand out, each having scored 6 points already. Defenceman Erik Karlsson has also made a significant contribution, accumulating 5 points. The team has netted 19 goals so far, indicating high scoring effectiveness and coordinated gameplay. However, despite their successful group stage performances, historically, Sweden faces challenges in the playoff stages, where they have repeatedly faltered. Thus, despite the impressive preliminary match results, the real test for the team will begin in the subsequent rounds of the tournament. With NHL stars in their roster and the current form of their players, they look forward with optimism but must remain focused and harness their full potential to overcome upcoming obstacles. Head-to-Head On 25 May 2023, at the World Championship, Latvia triumphed over Sweden with a 3:1 score. On 24 May 2022, at the World Championship, Sweden defeated Latvia 1:0. On 10 February 2022, at the Olympic Games, Sweden won 3:2. On 20 May 2019, at the World Championship, Sweden emerged victorious with a 5:4 score. On 17 May 2018, at the World Championship, Sweden also beat Latvia 3:2. Hence, in the last five matches, Sweden has secured four victories, while Latvia has won one. Match Prediction: Latvia vs. Sweden The Swedes are incredibly powerful, and the Latvian team, after their defeat by Germany, revealed their true level. Sweden conceded more than one goal only against the USA in the first round of this Championship, so I anticipate the individual total under 1.5 for Latvia.

Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers will clash tomorrow morning in the 6th match of the NHL Eastern Conference playoffs. Boston Bruins The Boston Bruins continue their battle to extend the season following a victory in the last game against the Florida Panthers. In the previous match, the Bruins scored a goal in each of the first two periods, and their defence played solidly, allowing just one goal. Charlie McAvoy notched a goal and an assist, while goalkeeper Jeremy Swayman stopped 28 out of 29 shots, displaying a confident performance. Throughout the season, the Bruins' defence has not always played consistently, and in two of their three losses, the team conceded six goals. To succeed in the upcoming match, Boston will need to improve their defensive play. In the regular season, the Bruins' attack ranked 12th in the league, while their defence ranked 6th. Jake DeBrusk and Brad Marchand play key roles in the team's offence: DeBrusk scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists, while Marchand added 3 goals and 7 assists. Coach Jim Montgomery expressed confidence in the team, particularly highlighting the importance of Brad Marchand's return from an upper-body injury. Marchand, the captain and leader of the team, is preparing to get back on the ice after missing several games, which could significantly impact the game's outcome. Montgomery emphasised that Marchand is the "heart and soul" of the Bruins, and his presence on the ice adds confidence to the entire team. Florida Panthers The Florida Panthers are aiming to advance to the next round following their setback in the last game against the Boston Bruins. In the previous match, the team's offence managed to score just one goal, leading to the defeat. Sam Reinhart scored the team's only goal and made 8 shots on goal. Russian goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 26 out of 28 shots, showing a reliable game. Despite an average save percentage during the season, Bobrovsky makes crucial saves in the most important moments, which is especially noted by coach Paul Maurice. In one of the previous victories against the Bruins, Bobrovsky stopped 16 out of 18 shots, demonstrating his ability to be a reliable backbone in defence. The coach and the team trust him, knowing that he can provide the necessary stability and confidence as the last line of defence. In two of the previous matches against the Bruins, the Panthers secured victories with scores of 3:2 and 6:2. In one of these games, Anton Lundell scored a goal and provided an assist, while Bobrovsky stopped 16 out of 18 shots. In the regular season, the Panthers' offence ranked 11th in the league, while their defence ranked 2nd. Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk are key players for the team: Barkov scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists, while Tkachuk added 4 goals and 9 assists. Coach Paul Maurice expressed confidence in his team despite some difficulties in recent games. He noted that Bobrovsky does not focus on statistics but concentrates on key moments of the game, which boosts the team's confidence. Under Maurice's leadership, the Panthers demonstrate balanced play both at home and on the road, giving them a chance for success in any game. The key task for Florida in the upcoming match will be to restore their offensive power and maintain solid defensive play. Prediction for the Boston Bruins vs. Florida Panthers match Florida should close out the series. Boston managed to take one game back thanks to their defence, but without their injured veteran leader and enforcer Marchand, it will be tough for the Bruins. I'm placing my bet on a victory for Florida.

At 14:20, the group stage match of the Ice Hockey World Championship in the elite division kicks off. Fans of international hockey are in for a thrilling showdown between Germany and Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan The Kazakhstan national team is unique, representing the Asian region with commendable results. Once among the underdogs, Kazakhstan has now solidified its position in the middle of the standings. At the 2023 World Championship held in Finland and Latvia, Kazakhstan performed at an average level and secured their place in the elite division midway through the competition. In seven matches, the Kazakhstani team garnered 7 points, finishing 6th. Norway and Slovenia finished behind them. At the 2024 World Championship, Kazakhstan played four matches, securing only one victory. In the opening game of the tournament, they defeated France 3-1. However, Kazakhstan suffered three consecutive losses, not just to the favourites. While the defeat against Sweden can be attributed to the opponent's calibre, the matches against Latvia and Slovakia were missed opportunities to earn points. Currently, Kazakhstan sits 7th in Group B, only ahead of Poland, which has a solitary point. Kazakhstan's crucial match will be in the final round against Poland. Germany In recent years, the German national team has emerged as one of the strongest in world hockey. In 2018, Germany claimed the silver medal at the Olympics, and just last year, they reached the final against Canada, having successfully navigated the group stage and defeated the USA in the knockout rounds. Although they couldn't overcome Canada, the silver medals were still a significant achievement. At the 2024 World Championship, Germany played four official matches, securing two victories against Slovakia and Latvia. While Slovakia was defeated with difficulty, Germany demolished Latvia 8-1. In two other matches against the favourites, Germany didn't perform at their best. Currently, Germany occupies 5th place in the standings, still in contention for qualification. They trail Latvia by just one point. In their remaining three matches, Germany will face the underdogs from Kazakhstan, Poland, and France. Head-to-Head Germany and Kazakhstan have faced each other in four official matches. Germany has three victories, while Kazakhstan has emerged victorious once. Prediction Germany will win in regulation time. The German team has been rising to the ranks of Europe's strongest teams in recent years, while Kazakhstan's performance this year is significantly weaker compared to the previous tournament. Germany needs this win to aim for a quarterfinal spot.

At 14:20, the Group Stage match of the Ice Hockey World Championship will begin between two elite division teams. Enthusiasts of international hockey are looking forward to the clash between Great Britain and Denmark. Great Britain In the 20th century, the Great Britain team was among the best in the world and even became an Olympic champion. Recently, Great Britain is no longer considered a favourite for top positions. Currently, Great Britain is an average team yo-yoing between the elite and the first division. Last year, the Great Britain team took 1st place in the First Division and moved up among the elite. In the 2024 World Championship, Great Britain has played three official matches so far, showing weak results. The team hasn't scored any points in three matches and remains the only team with zero points in the current World Championship. In their first match of the World Championship, Great Britain played brilliantly against Canada, losing 4-2. In the other two matches against group favourites, they performed poorly, suffering heavy defeats. The team conceded eight goals against Finland and then lost 3-0 to Finland again. So far, Great Britain has zero points, which is understandable given the calibre of their opponents. They have four more matches to try and earn some points. Denmark The Denmark team has firmly established itself among the elite division participants of the World Championship and has even reached the quarter-finals a few times. The Scandinavian players have not been relegated from the elite division and almost repeated their success last year by reaching the quarter-finals. In the 2023 World Championship, Denmark ranked 5th in their group, losing to teams from Germany, Finland, Sweden, and the USA. They were just 4 points behind the German team. In the current World Championship, Denmark is not performing as successfully and is unlikely to compete for a quarter-final spot. After winning their first match against Austria, the Danish team hasn't gathered any more points. Victory over Austria can already be considered a success. Subsequent losses to Canada and the Czech Republic were no surprise. However, losing 2-0 to Norway was a major upset. Currently, Denmark is in 7th place in the standings, 3 points ahead of Great Britain. Head-to-Head Great Britain and Denmark have met in four official World Championship matches. In each encounter, Denmark proved to be the stronger side. Prediction Denmark will win in regulation time. Although Denmark hasn't been as good as last year in the current World Championship, they are not at risk of relegation. Great Britain is much weaker, considering the level and experience of their squad. Denmark will claim a confident victory with a margin of several goals.

The Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers are set to face off tomorrow morning in Game 5 of the NHL Western Conference playoff series. Vancouver Canucks The Vancouver Canucks are tied 2-2 in the series and are gearing up for Game 5. In Game 4, the team performed subpar for most of the game but managed to score two goals in the third period before conceding the winning goal with less than a minute remaining. Vancouver clinched the first game, giving them a shot at the conference final, standing two wins away from this goal. In the third period of Game 4, Vancouver rallied, netting two goals but conceded the winning goal in the last minute. The Canucks hope to secure a home victory to take the lead in the series. In the first period, the Canucks trailed 0-1. In the second period, they outshot the opponent 14-9, conceding another goal and trailing 0-2 after 40 minutes of play. In the third period, the Canucks scored two goals. Conor Garland scored his second playoff goal at the 6-minute mark, assisted by Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov. In the first round, the Canucks defeated the Nashville Predators in 6 games, despite frequent penalty kills. In the playoffs, Vancouver has successfully played from behind, but this strategy is risky against Edmonton. The Canucks score 2.70 goals per game, convert 20% of their power plays, and defend at 78.1% on the penalty kill. He noted that some players did not show the necessary level of play and doubts whether they understand the importance of the current situation. Elias Pettersson is also struggling in the series, with only two points in the playoffs, including one goal and three assists in 10 games. He expressed his desire to turn things around and perform better in the upcoming game. Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers aim to regain home-ice advantage after levelling the series 2-2 with a 3-2 victory over the Canucks in Game 4. Leon Draisaitl opened the scoring, netting the only goal of the first period. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins doubled Edmonton's lead in the second period. Vancouver tied the game, but just a minute later, Edmonton reclaimed the lead and secured the win. Calvin Pickard stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced. Edmonton showcased resilience, scoring the game-winning goal through Evan Bouchard in the last minute after Vancouver equalised. The Oilers are known for their offensive prowess, scoring at least one power-play goal in each playoff game, but their defensive abilities were crucial in levelling the series. Edmonton's ability to limit Vancouver's opportunities in Game 4 helped veteran goalie Calvin Pickard secure a win in his first NHL playoff game. In Game 3, the Edmonton Oilers secured a 3-2 win, tying the series. Edmonton was leading 2-0 in the third period but allowed Vancouver to tie the game before scoring the game-winning goal with a minute left. In this series, the Oilers have struggled to maintain a full 60 minutes of play: in the first game, they blew a 4-1 lead, and then faced challenges in every game of the series. Edmonton won Game 2 with a 4-3 score and defeated the Los Angeles Kings in the first round in 5 games. Prediction for the Vancouver Canucks - Edmonton Oilers Match With each game, the stakes rise higher, and I will once again bet on the total goals under 6.5. It's too high a total for such a crucial game in the series; no one will be taking risks.

The sixth game of the Stanley Cup playoffs quarter-final series, featuring Eastern Conference rivals, will kick off. Night hockey enthusiasts can expect a thrilling clash between the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers. Carolina Hurricanes The Carolina Hurricanes participated in 82 official regular-season games of the 2023-2024 NHL season. Carolina tallied up 111 points from these 82 games, securing the 2nd spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The regular season demonstrated that Carolina boasts a quality roster capable of competing for the highest positions. For a period, Carolina led the Eastern Conference, but over the duration, they proved slightly weaker than their New York rivals. Ultimately, Carolina finished 2nd in the Eastern Conference, 3 points behind the Rangers. Securing the second place allowed Carolina to face the Islanders, who had a subpar season and performed poorly in the playoffs. Carolina triumphed over the Islanders in 5 games and advanced to the second round, where they faced more significant challenges against a stronger opponent. Currently, the series score against the Rangers is 3-2. Carolina was on the brink of elimination, but thanks to two consecutive wins, they clawed back into the series and now have a shot at the semi-finals. New York Rangers The New York Rangers played in 82 official regular-season games of the 2023-2024 NHL season. Over these 82 games, the Rangers amassed 114 points, clinching the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings. During the 2023-2024 season, the Rangers showcased themselves as an excellent team with a formidable roster, capable of outperforming most rivals over the long haul. Although they weren't leading the Eastern Conference for some time, the Rangers managed to surpass all their competitors. Eventually, the Rangers finished first in the Eastern Conference, 3 points ahead of Carolina. The Rangers' success in the regular season enabled them to face a weaker and inconsistent Washington team in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The capital's team couldn't put up much resistance. The 4-0 series score underscored the Rangers' dominance. However, the second round hasn't been as straightforward for the Rangers. Initially, they secured three consecutive victories and were gearing up for the semi-finals but got a bit complacent, allowing Carolina to bounce back into the series. The Rangers need just one more win to advance to the semi-finals. Head-to-Head Encounters Carolina and the Rangers have faced off in 74 official matches. The Rangers have claimed 49 victories, while Carolina triumphed in 25 games. Total Prediction The Rangers' individual total over (ITO) will be more than 2 goals. Prediction The Rangers will win in regulation time. Although the Rangers have lost the last two games, their performance has been commendable. The New York team needs to play stricter defence and capitalise on scoring opportunities. It's time for the Rangers to put on a disciplined display rather than focusing on flashy play, aiming strictly for the win.

At 18:20 , the group stage match in the elite division of the Ice Hockey World Championship kicks off. Fans of international hockey can look forward to the clash between the USA and France national teams. USA North American athletes have not been world champions for a while, but the USA always remains a favourite and contender for the top spots. Last year, the USA had an outstanding performance in the group stage, winning all 7 matches. Finishing first in their group allowed them to face the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals. However, the USA lost to Germany in the semi-finals. The Americans also faced disappointment in the third-place match, losing to Latvia 4-3 in overtime. Heading into the 2024 World Championship, the USA had high hopes for success and medals. However, current results suggest otherwise. In the first tournament game, the USA lost to Sweden 5-2. The second match saw the USA take revenge for last year's semi-final defeat by convincingly beating Germany by a 4-goal margin. Another setback came in the third game against Slovakia, where the USA lost 5-4 in overtime. With just one win in three matches, the USA finds itself in fifth place in Group B. However, this situation is likely temporary. The USA still has matches against underdogs and mid-level teams, and is only two points behind Germany. France A few years ago, France's national team left the elite division of the World Championship but quickly returned and secured its place among the best. Last year, France achieved its main goal of retaining its position in the elite division, finishing in 6th place in the group stage with 4 points. France managed to stay ahead of Austria and Hungary, who were battling to avoid relegation. In the 2024 World Championship, France has played three matches and already secured one win. Firstly, France lost in regulation time to Kazakhstan. The game against Latvia brought France one point, thanks to an overtime result. The next match was even more successful, with France defeating Poland, their main competitor, 4-2. Four points allow France to feel relatively safe in the battle for survival. Now, France needs to wait for competitors' results and hope to earn points against stronger teams. Head-to-Head In all 9 head-to-head encounters, the USA emerged victorious. Most of these matches had lopsided scores. Prediction The USA will win in regulation time. Following a poor start to the World Championship, the USA must now secure points against the underdogs. The USA will be highly motivated, as there is no room for jokes when one of the favourites is outside the quarter-final spots.

Today the group stage match of the World Ice Hockey Championship in the elite division will commence. International ice hockey fans are eagerly anticipating the clash between Sweden and Kazakhstan. Sweden Team Sweden is always a favourite and contender for top positions in any international tournament, and the 2024 World Championshipin the Czech Republic is no exception. Last year, Sweden easily advanced forward and aimed for medals but ended their campaignat the quarter-final stage. Sweden suffered a sensational defeat against Team Latvia in that match, which concluded with a 3:1 loss for the Swedes. In the current international tournament, Team Sweden has been on an excellent run, securing three consecutive victories in the group stage. In their first match, Sweden played against the USA and achieved a commanding win with a score of 5:2. In the next two matches, Sweden faced weaker opponents. While Germany can be considered a mid-level team aiming for the quarter-finals, Poland is a clear underdog striving to maintain their elite status in world hockey. Success in three consecutive matches has allowed Sweden to lead Group B, ahead of Slovakia by one point. If everything goes as planned, Sweden should be the winners of Group B. The only formidable opponents left for Sweden are Slovakia, who also secured three consecutive victories, including a win against the USA.Kazakhstan In recent years, Team Kazakhstan has managed to stay within the elite division of the World Championship, firmly establishing themselves among the world's best teams. Last year, Kazakhstan retained their spot in the elite division, finishing 6th in the group stage. Only Slovenia and Norway performed worse than Kazakhstan. At the World Championship in the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan's main goal was to retain their place in the elite division, and so far, everything is going according to plan. Currently, Kazakhstan holds 7th place, which allows them to stay in the elite division. They are only 2 points ahead of Poland, who have one point less. Poland could potentially pull off an upset and "displace" Kazakhstan, requiring the latter to play more seriously. In the current World Championship, Kazakhstan has played three matches and suffered two defeats. They won their first match against France in regular time but then lost twice in a row to Slovakia and Latvia. Kazakhstan played well against the current bronze medalists, losing by a margin of only two goals. Head-to-Head In their only head-to-head match, Team Sweden achieved a confident victory with a score of 7:3. Prediction Sweden will win in regular time. There should be no surprises in this match; Team Sweden is expected to "steamroll" their opponents from Kazakhstan, who will put up a fight but won't be able to secure points considering the difference in class.

Today in the third round of the Ice Hockey World Championship in the Czech Republic, Germany will face Latvia. Germany National Team The Germany national team kicked off the 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship with a 6-4 victory over Slovakia. However, their defensive problems were already apparent in this match. Following this, the Germans suffered two heavy defeats in a row against the main group favouritesthe USA and Sweden. Both matches ended with the same score of 1-6. These losses significantly impacted the team's standings and greatly complicated their chances of advancing to the playoffs. As a result of these matches, the Germany national team managed to earn only three points, placing them in the second-to-last position in their group. The Germans are ahead of only Poland and France, the main outsiders of the tournament. Despite this, bookmakers consider Germany the favourite to secure their second victory in the group stage. Yet, actual performances indicate that this will not be easy. Latvia is known for their tenacity and ability to play for results, making the upcoming match particularly tense. In the battle for a spot in the quarter-finals, Germany has found themselves in a tough group where the USA and Sweden are clear favourites for qualification. The remaining teamsLatvia, Slovakia, Kazakhstan, and France, along with Germanyare contesting for the remaining playoff spots. Direct encounters with these teams are crucial for the tournament standings. Currently, Harold Kreis's squad sits in sixth place with three points, outside the playoff zone. Latvia National Team The Latvia national team started their 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship campaign with a relatively easy schedule against the underdogs in Group B. Harijs Vitolins's squad played three consecutive matches against Poland, France, and Kazakhstan. The encounters with Poland and France ended in victories beyond regular time with scores of 5-4 and 3-2, respectively, bringing Latvia four points instead of six. However, in the match against Kazakhstan, Latvia delivered a more solid defensive performance, confidently winning 2-0, which allowed the team to earn three full points and climb to second place in the standings. At the moment, Latvia has three victories and stands second in the group, trailing only Sweden. Tough matches lie ahead against Germany, Sweden, Slovakia, and the USA, where the fight for points will be significantly more challenging. It's worth noting that Latvia has not suffered a single defeat so far, but two out of their three victories were won only in overtime. This raises certain concerns about their future performances against stronger opponents. In the last tournament, Latvia reached the playoffs for the first time since 2018 and sensationally won bronze. They lost to Canada 2-4 but defeated the USA 4-3 in overtime in the bronze medal match. Harijs Vitolins is leading the team at his third consecutive World Championship, and under his guidance, Latvia is showing stable results. Currently, Latvia remains undefeated in regulation time over the last five games, including friendlies, and has scored 16 goals in their last four matches. Head-to-head The recent head-to-head encounters between Germany and Latvia have produced the following results. On 1 June 2021, Germany defeated Latvia 2-1 in the World Championship. On 8 November 2020, at the Deutschland Cup, Latvia won in overtime 3-2, but the day before, on 7 November 2020, Germany secured a 2-0 victory. On 12 May 2018, at the World Championship, Latvia triumphed over Germany 3-1, while on 16 May 2017, Germany prevailed over Latvia in a shootout 4-3. Therefore, in the last five meetings, Germany has won three times, and Latvia twice. Match prediction: Germany - Latvia Latvia has looked very strong in this World Championship and should give the Germans a run for their money, who conceded 12 goals from the USA and Sweden and barely managed a win against Slovakia. Latvia has been fortunate with their schedule, and they have an opportunity to secure a playoff spot today.

The Czech Republic and Denmark national teams are set to clash today in the fourth round of the World Ice Hockey Championship in the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic National Team The Czech national ice hockey team has seldom achieved significant success at the world championships in recent years, typically settling for bronze medals. The 2024 World Championship is a home tournament for the Czechs, providing them with extra motivation. Under the guidance of Radim Rulin, they have assembled a solid team, featuring players from both the NHL and the local league. In their first game of the tournament, they defeated Finland in a shootout, 1-0, then confidently triumphed over Norway with a score of 6-3 but narrowly lost to Switzerland, 1-2. These results place them in a temporary fourth position in Group As standings. At the start of the 2024 World Championship, the Czech team showcased commendable performances, despite facing challenges. After a setback in the home stage of the Eurotour, they regrouped to beat Finland in overtime and then confidently handled Norway. The victories have not been easy, and the team currently holds the fourth spot in the standings. In the matches against Finland and Switzerland, the Czechs struggled to capitalise on their chances, scoring only one goal in each of those games, while they dominated Norway with a comprehensive 6-3 win. Despite this, their performances fluctuate between high-scoring games and matches with minimal goals, casting doubts over their status as favourites. The Denmark National Team The Denmark national ice hockey team finds itself in a very challenging group at the 2024 World Championship, featuring outright favourites such as Switzerland, Finland, Canada, and the Czech Republic. To progress to the playoffs, the team needs to create upsets and beat lesser opponents. The tournament began well for the "Red and White," as they confidently defeated Austria, 5-1. However, in the second round, Denmark faced a strong Canadian side and lost 1-5. In the third round, they unexpectedly fell to Norway, 0-2. After the first three games, Denmark sits sixth in Group A with three points. Their victory over Austria with a score of 5-1 provided a solid start, but subsequent games against Canada and Norway ended in defeat, 1-5 and 0-2, respectively. Denmark was favoured in the match against Norway but failed to meet expectations, not scoring a single goal. The main issue for Denmark lies in the lack of standout leaders in their attack who can take the game into their own hands. The team's roster lacks strength, which is reflected in their results. Denmark has yet to demonstrate consistent play, making their chances of reaching the playoffs quite uncertain. Head-to-Head In recent head-to-head encounters between the Czech Republic and Denmark, the results were as follows: Denmark defeated the Czech Republic 2-1 on 9 February 2022 at the Olympics. On 31 May 2021, at the World Championship, the Czech Republic won a shootout against Denmark 2-1. On 15 May 2016 at the World Championship, Denmark defeated the Czech Republic in a shootout, 2-1. On 17 May 2014 at the World Championship, Denmark again beat the Czech Republic in a shootout, 4-3. On 11 April 2014, in a friendly match, the Czech Republic triumphed, 2-0. Thus, in the last five meetings, Denmark has won three times, while the Czech Republic has won twice. Prediction for the Czech Republic - Denmark Match The Czechs have not been particularly impressive at the start of this home World Championship. They scored six goals only against Norway, while in matches against Finland and Switzerland, they managed just one goal in regulation time. Denmark will be playing defensively. I am putting my stake on the individual total under (ITU) 4 for the Czech Republic.

They claimed themselves a solid position by occupying 3rd place in the Eastern Conference table with 110 points from the 82 matches. Throughout the course of the 2023-2024 season, "Florida" exhibited stable performance, often racking up points and securing themselves in top half of the table.Despite trailing to the likes of "Carolina" and "Rangers", the "Florida" squad did manage to secure a comfortable 3rd position in the 82 matches they played. In fact, at one point in time, "Florida" was leading the Eastern Conference and was eyeing a win, falling just 4 points behind "Rangers" who emerged victorious.For Stanley Cup playoffs, the "Florida" hockey players have been giving a spectacular performance with only two defeats so far. Against "Tampa Bay" representatives in the first round's five matches, "Florida" held an initial score of 3:0 but later conceded. However, after managing to regain their composure, "Florida" pulled through to triumph. A weak start in the second round was followed by a winning spree, where "Florida" crushed "Boston" twice in a row and later outperformed them by a single goal. Boston Bruins In the regular NHL season 2023-2024, the "Boston" club participated in 82 official games. "Boston" managed to score 109 points from these 82 matches, placing them at 4th in the Eastern Conference league table.

Finishing merely five points away from the Eastern conference leader, "Boston" smoothly paved their path to Stanley Cup Playoffs.However, confidence seems to shaky for the "Boston" hockey players in the Stanley Cup playoffs. In the 1/8 finals, "Boston" faced off against "Toronto" and had a prolonged tussle; the series got extended to seven matches for "Boston". The decisive confrontation witnessed "Boston" take the win by a 2:1 score in additional time. The transition to the quarterfinals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs matched "Boston" against "Florida", and so far, things don't seem to be going as the black and yellow plan. After winning the first match, "Boston" conceded three consecutive times. Head to Head "Boston" and "Florida" squared off in 70 official games, with "Boston" prevailing 45 times, and "Florida" coming out stronger in 25 encounters. Prediction Florida Panthers - Boston Bruins "Florida" will emerge victorious in normal time. Despite a loss in the first encounter, the "Florida" skaters tuned up and have justified with three consecutive wins. In all the victorious matches, "Florida" considerably overshadowed "Boston", and it's highly likely the fifth match will follow the same pattern. "Florida" should continue their winning streak and advance to the semifinals.

The Group Stage match of the World ice Hockey Championship in the elite division is set to commence at 14:20. Avid fans of world-class hockey should expect a face-off between Denmark and Norway. Denmark The Denmark team has been playing among the world elite for some time but hasn't achieved much success. For a long time, the Danish hockey players have not made it to the quarterfinals and usually stop at the group stage. However, the past World Championship, which took place in Finland and Latvia, was successful for Team Denmark. Not so long ago, the Danish national team was among the outsiders and fought to maintain their place, but in 2023, the team from Northern Europe took 5th place in the group stage, scoring 8 points in 7 matches. In the current tournament, taking place in Czech Republic, Danish hockey players have played two matches, and so far, everything is going according to plan. Both matches involving Team Denmark ended with a score of 5:1. The Denmark team first met with opponents from Austria and triumphed with a score of 5:1, crushing a noticeably weaker opponent in all aspects. In the second match of the World Championship group stage, Team Denmark played against the reigning world champions. Playing against Canada is still difficult for Team Denmark, and the score of 5:1 fully followed the game's logic. At the moment, Team Denmark ranks 5th in the group's tournament table, scoring 3 points less than the Czech Republic at position 4. Norway The team from Norway has long been playing among the best teams of the world and is showing stable results that give them the ability to be in the elite of world hockey. In the course of the tournament, which took place in 2023 in Finland and Latvia, the Norway team even underperformed to some extent. Norways national team took 7th place at the group stage, scoring only 6 points. Importantly, Team Norway managed to keep its place in the elite division, outpacing opponents from Slovenia. The Norway team's line-up in the current World Championship has practically not changed, and so has their result. It's worth noting that Norway faced teams in three consecutive matches that are certainly going to be in the quarterfinals. The team started the tournament with a match against Switzerland and lost 5:2. In the next two matches, Norway faced the Czech Republic and Finland. Predictably, team Norway was defeated, losing with a gap of 3 pucks. Three consecutive losses have moved Norway down to second last place. Only due to additional indicators does Norway outperform opponents from Great Britain. The main matches for Norway are yet to come. Head to Head Denmark and Norway have met in 45 official matches. Norway has 23 wins on its record, while Denmark has come out on top in 22 encounters. Prediction Denmark will triumph in regular time. Danish hockey players surpass Norway in most parameters, which is evident from the last tournament and the results of the current World Championship. While the Danish team is fighting for top 4, Norway is content with maintaining its place in the elite.
