LiontipsSlovenia vs Canada: World Cup match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Slovenia played terribly at the World Cup in 2023, without scoring a single point in the group stage, thereby taking the last place and dropping into the First Division, where it showed its best and regained its place in the TOP division. The last time you could watch the team was in the framework of an international tournament in Poland, where in six matches you managed to win only one victory over Italy. After that, the Slovenes played several friendly matches, in which they unexpectedly coped with Kazakhstan, and also confidently beat Hungary.
Slovenia is unlikely to have the task of reaching the playoffs, as there is practically no chance of such an outcome. If she can keep her place in the TOP division, it will already be considered a good result. The team consists mainly of players from local leagues, with only forward Yan Drozg playing in the KHL for Kunlun.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the players of the national team are in the ranks.
Interesting betting trends
- At the last World Cup, Slovenia scored an average of just 1.3 goals per match.
- The team conceded an average of 3.85 goals per match.
Current form
Canada has traditionally been the main contender for the title in any tournament. This year, the national team was finally able to bring one of the main stars to the World Cup in the person of Sidney Crosby, who rarely manages to prove himself in international competitions, as he is mainly engaged in the NHL playoffs. Besides him, the Maple Leafs will be represented by McKinnon, O'Reilly, Konecny, Celebrini, Fleury and other powerful forwards, which makes the national team's attack the strongest among all other teams. But otherwise the leaves don't stand out so much. It is especially worth noting the goaltending team, which consists of very old hockey players in the person of Kuemper and Fleury. Also, if necessary, they will be replaced by a young Garand, who has not played a single match this season.
Canada's defense is also getting weaker every year, but there are no problems as serious as in the goal line. Dobson, Montour, Wigar — all of them have already played in the Olympic team. It is also worth noting the young Evans from Seattle and Sanheim from Philadelphia, who, by the way, played in the Four Nations Tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries

1.35Tip and bets
It is hard to believe that Slovenia is capable of giving a worthy rebuff to such a powerful opponent. In absolutely all respects, Canada is three heads above its competitor and must demonstrate this in the upcoming match. We believe that the Leafs' powerful attacking line will leave no chance for the Slovenes and will defeat them with a difference of more than four goals, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our prediction is that Canada will win with a handicap of (-4.5) goals in 1.60
Bet on the total
We should definitely expect some productive hockey in the upcoming match. Canada will rush into the attack from the first minutes and will create powerful pressure on the opponent until the end of the match, which he is unlikely to cope with. However, the Maple leafs may play too much, which will allow Slovenia to respond with at least one abandoned puck.
Betting Tip - total more than 6.5 goals in 1.60
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Given Canada's colossal superiority, it may well create serious problems for Slovenia at the beginning of the meeting and earn a significant advantage in the opening segment.
Betting Tip - Canada wins in the first period with a handicap of (-1.5) goals in 1.77
