Austria - Slovakia: betting tip for the World Cup match
Austria will take on Slovakia in the group stage of the World Cup on May 12. Earlier, the Austrians suffered two defeats in a row. It will not be easy for them in the upcoming confrontation either, because they are considered outsiders. However, Slovaks may also slip up and lose points. What bet should I place on this event? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Austria
AustriaCurrent form
Austria remains one of the main outsiders of its group and is unlikely to be able to claim anything more than the usual retention of a residence permit in the Top Division. The team still did not earn a single point and unsuccessfully played two previous matches in the championship. Let's remind that at first the Austrians could not cope with Finland (1:2), and after that they lost to Sweden with a score of 2:4.
Of course, in both cases, Roger Bader's team looked more than decent, but they were unable to secure a favorable outcome. By the way, in the second meeting with the Scandinavians, the national team had a one-goal advantage, but it completely failed at the end of the third period, during which it conceded three goals and, of course, was very annoyed by this defeat.
Let's note the fact that, in general, Austria plays quite well defensively and copes with most of the dangerous attacks of its skilled rivals. Nevertheless, she should work on discipline, because even in the last match she broke the rules four times.
Disqualifications and injuries
To date, Austria has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Austria gets an average of eight minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, the Austrians make 16 shots on target.
Slovakia
SlovakiaCurrent form
Slovakia obviously did not come to the championship as a favorite, but it certainly plans to perform as a strong middleweight. At the moment, the national team is on the fifth line of the standings and has every chance of getting into the playoffs, especially if it does without failures in matches with formal outsiders. It should be noted that she was able to earn three points in the previous two matches.
In the first case, the Slovaks lost to Sweden with a defeat (0:5), but in the confrontation with Slovenia they pulled themselves together and took a responsible approach to the duel, thanks to which they dealt with their opponent in the class with a score of 3:1. In the match against the Slovenes, Vladimir Orsag's team approached the third period with a comfortable three-goal advantage and confidently brought the matter to a victorious end, allowing the opponent to distinguish himself only in the majority.
Of course, Samuel Glavai did a good job with his duties, who parried 17 shots in total, but Patrick Rybar was left out of work in that match and spent the entire 60 minutes on the bench.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Slovaks have no problems with the squad at this championship.
Interesting betting trends

1.72Tip and bets
In our opinion, Austria can claim points in this confrontation. The national team performed well in the opening two matches and was close to winning the matches against the clear favorites. Slovakia is not at all confident so far, and in the match with the Swedes it looked much worse than the Austrians. At the moment, we don't see any obvious advantages for Slovaks, so we think that a formal outsider may well surprise us.
Betting Tip - Austria will not lose in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
Slovakia has a small number of abandoned goals in matches with the Austrians. Austria, in turn, demonstrates a good defensive game and even conceded only twice in the meeting before last with the Finns. The Slovaks simply don't have the resources to score four goals against their opponent, because they scored only three times against the Slovenes.
We're betting on Slovakia's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
The last matches between the national teams turned out to be inconclusive and took place with a minimum number of goals scored. Austria prefers to play indoor hockey, and the Slovaks, given the importance of this match, will act very carefully in defense and avoid stupid mistakes. Based on this, we are waiting for a small number of abandoned pucks.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.75
