Command Analysis
Slovakia
SlovakiaCurrent form
Slovakia is a strong middleweight at the World Championships and usually its main goal is to reach the playoffs. When the national team is in great shape, it can reach the semifinals under favorable circumstances, but this happens very rarely. This year, she is unlikely to be able to claim anything serious, since she does not have such a powerful squad.
Let's remind that in the opening match of the championship, the Slovaks were defeated by the host of the tournament, the Swedish national team, to which they lost with a crushing score - 0:5. The game of Vladimir Orsag's squad did not stick from the very beginning, because they had already missed three goals in the opening game and no longer had the opportunity to fully return to the fight.
By the way, in that match, Slovakia scored only 15 shots against a powerful opponent and never even forced the opponent to break the rules. Of course, there are certain questions about the game of goalkeeper Patrick Rybar, who missed five shots in just 20 minutes. However, even this fact is unlikely to force the coaching staff to release the second goalkeeper, Samuel Glavaya, on the ice in the upcoming match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Slovakia has no problems with the squad right now.
Interesting betting trends
- Slovakia statistically gets 10.5 minutes of penalty time.
- On average, Slovaks make 32 shots on target.
Slovenia
SloveniaCurrent form
Slovenia should already be very happy with its place in the Top Division. Of course, the main task for the national team is to keep their place here next year, but it will be incredibly difficult to do this. Let's remind that a couple of years ago the team already took part in the World Cup, but then they were defeated in all seven matches and never even brought the matter to overtime.
Such a fate may well await the Edo Terglav team this season, since nothing really changed from the year before last, and only minor adjustments were made to the composition. Note that Slovenia also managed to play one match in the current tournament and was defeated by Canada with a score of 0.:4. In that match, everything was decided by playing in unequal formations.
The Slovenes acted undisciplined and violated the rules even in simple and harmless situations, for which they paid with three missed goals in the minority. The whole game then took place in their zone, and the team itself scored only 11 shots on the opponent's goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Slovenia has no problems with the squad at the moment.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last match, the Slovenes retired seven times.
- Slovenia won only 31.7% of the face-offs in the last match.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last four matches between the national teams, the first period was inconclusive.
1.72Betting 3rd period: Slovakia's victory
In two of the three meetings, Slovakia was successful in the third period.
1.68Tip and bets
We think that the Slovaks shouldn't have any big problems in this confrontation. The Orsaga team surpasses its rival in class and looks clearly stronger on paper. Previous matches between the national teams at the World Championships turned out to be tense, but they always ended in favor of the formal favorite. Slovakia really needs points to keep fighting for the playoffs, so it will do everything possible to win.
Prediction - Slovakia wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.69
Betting on an individual total
Slovenia scores little in matches against similar opponents, and in the last match against Canada it was left without a single abandoned goal in the asset. At the last World Cup, the Slovenes also showed mediocre performance and practically did not create dangerous moments at other people's gates. We think they won't score much this time either.
We're betting on Slovenia's individual total of less than 1.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the total total
In the previous matches between the national teams, we didn't see a lot of goals scored. Slovakia will certainly approach this match responsibly and will play as reliably as possible in defense. The Slovenes will spend most of their time in their own zone and will not be able to create many dangerous chances at the other's goal. Based on this, we suggest betting on a total of less.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.65
