LiontipsKazakhstan vs Canada. Prediction and Betting Tips for IIHF World Championship (May 28, 2021).
Command Analysis
Kazakhstan do not cease to surprise with their results at this World Championship. The Kazakh national team won three games out of four, yielding only to the United States (0:3). However, already in the next game, the Kazakhs beat Germany with a score of 3:2, showing excellent performance.
By the way, in the game against the Germans, Yuri Mikhailis's charges were losing 1:2, but in the third period, they turned the game around. Roman Starchenko scored a penalty, and Pavel Akolzin scored a decisive goal. After three matches the team is on the second line of the standings and now has every chance of reaching the playoffs.
Canada need to continue scoring points if they want to reach the playoffs. The Maple Leafs have suffered three defeats in a row, but then managed to pull themselves together and earned a victory over Norway with a score of 4:2. Before that, they lost to the USA (1:5) and Germany (1:3).
The Canadians take a lot of shots in every game, but it doesn't pay off. At the moment, Gerard Gallant's team occupies the sixth line in the table and has three points in the asset, and they must earn maximum points in the next two out of three games.

Tip and bets
We think that in the upcoming fixture Kazakhstan will be able to put up a fight and compete for points. Canada show weak results in this championship and couldn't get a truly confident victory even against Norway. Most likely, the Kazakhs will lose, but with a difference of only one goal.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+2.5) to Kazakhstan.
The previous games with the participation of Kazakhstan had low scores, and we do not see why that would be different for tonight's match. The Kazakhstanis are trying to play on the defensive, and the Canadians cannot use most of their chances.
Second wager - total under 5.5 goals.
