Poland - Denmark predictions and free betting tips [07/05/2024]

The friendly match between two teams all set to kick off their first games in the elite world championship division. The game promises an intriguing encounter between Poland and Denmark for international hockey enthusiasts.

Poland

The 2024 edition of the World Championship would be Poland's first foray into the elite level of world hockey after several years. Despite coming close to entering the top-tier teams multiple times in recent years, Poland only managed to qualify for the elite level in 2023. In the 2023 World Championship among first-division teams, Poland finished second, outdone only by Great Britain.

Leading up to the current World Championship, Poland played a series of friendly matches, yielding less than stellar results. Their losing streak now counts five consecutive defeats at the hands of Slovenia, Slovakia, and Great Britain. Poland's last victory was in April, overpowering Hungary. As of now, Poland is considered to be the underdog at the World Championship.

Denmark

The Danish national team is one of the squads consistently delivering average results in the top-tier of world hockey. In the 2023 World Championship, held in Finland and Latvia, the Danish team had an excellent run and missed the quarterfinals by just a few points. After playing 7 matches, Denmark racked up 8 points, securing the 5th position in group "A".

The quarterfinal bound Germany managed to scrape together only 4 points more. During the Championship, Denmark trumped Hungary, Austria, and France, garnering three victories. Following the World Championship, Denmark played a series of friendly matches against teams spanning the European continent. In April, Denmark participated in three matches against Norway, sadly losing them all, each by a margin of one goal.

Head-to-Head

Historically, there have been only two games between Denmark and Poland. In both matches, Denmark emerged as the victor with an overall scoreline of 8:3.

Total Prediction

The individual total (ITO) for Denmark is predicted to be over 2 goals.

Prediction

Denmark is tipped to take the victory during regular gameplay. The world hockey elites, being more seasoned, would likely spotlight rookie Poland's weaknesses and errors. For now, Denmark and Poland operate on different levels. Poland will probably suffer a crushing defeat.
