LiontipsNorway vs Kazakhstan. Prediction and Betting Tips for IIHF World Championship (May 31, 2021).
Command Analysis
Norway had a bad run at this World Championship, losing to all serious opponents. The only win over Italy (4:1), who lost all their games, is a very modest achievement. Norway also managed to score a victory over Latvia in overtime (4:3 OT).
The Norwegian national team lost to the USA with a minimum margin in the previous game (1:2).
Kazakhstan have had a memorable attacking performance at the Championship. The Kazakh national team crushed Italy (11:3), breaking the national record. This result allowed them to become the best team in their group in terms of goal difference: they scored 21 and conceded 15 goals.
Kazakhstan lost only two games - to the USA (0:3) and Canada (2:4), but with one game to go, they are on the third line of the standings and have good chances to qualify for the playoffs.

Tip and bets
In our opinion, it is best to bet on the Kazakh team to win. For the first time in ages, they got the opportunity to be in the top four at the tournament's group stage. We believe they won't miss their chance. The Kazakh team's morale is boosted by their success, and it is unlikely that Norway will be able to win the game tonight.
Our prediction is Kazakhstan to win
In our opinion, there won't be many goals score in this game. There is no reason for the teams to rush into the attack. Kazakhstan will probably score and then play to keep the lead. Norway can't qualify, so the match isn't really important for them.
Second bet - total under 4.5 goals
