Kazakhstan also failed to achieve a single victory in the tournament, but few could have expected a different result, given the level of the team. The start of the tournament was not at all successful for Sergei Starygin team - the team suffered two major defeats from Sweden (1:8) and the Czech Republic (2:14). Nevertheless, the performance of the Kazakh team in the last two matches of the group stage left rather pleasant impressions. In the match with Slovakia, the Kazakh team managed to score two goals at the end of the third period, playing in the minority, which helped bring the game to overtime. On December 31, the team managed to impose a fight on the Swiss team and lost with a score of 1:3, although a much more confident victory was expected from the Swiss.

1.57Tip and bets
Germany is far superior to its opponent in class, but Kazakhstan has proven its ability to fight even with such opponents. If the nominal guests manage to maintain discipline and organization in their actions, then this duel may turn out to be stubborn. We believe that the relegation match will not be an easy walk for the Germans.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+2.5) of a goal on Kazakhstan for 1.88
Bet on total
The opponents have already failed in defense more than once during the tournament, so in a face-to-face match, a bet will probably be made on the attack. We believe that the teams will try to identify the strongest in an open confrontation, so it is worth betting on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 5.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on individual total
At this tournament, Kazakhstan has never conceded less than three goals, so the Germans will probably be able to show high performance in the match with the Kazakhs.
Our prediction is Germany individual total over 3.5 goals at 1.55
