Kazakhstan - Hungary: betting tip for the World Cup match

The national team of Kazakhstan will play an important match against the Hungarians on May 13. Oleg Bolyakin's team started the tournament with a victory over Norway, but could not match the German team. The team led by Gergely Majorosh lost outrageously in the first two games in Denmark and so far closes the Group B table. The last time the Kazakhstanis lost to an opponent was back in 2013. Can they win now? Look for the answer in our betting tip for the match

Command Analysis

Kazakhstan

Current form
Oleg Bolyakin's team consistently plays in the elite hockey division and periodically fights to get out of the group. Last year they took the sixth place in the group, without showing a strong level of play. The Kazakhstan national team failed to qualify for the Olympics in Italy, which will be held next season, but it confidently won the Asian Championship and the Asian Games. The team mainly consists of Barys players, but there are also players from other KHL and national championship teams.
At the start of the World Cup, Roman Starchenko's squad had an important match against the Norwegian national team and was able to win a strong-willed victory (2:1). The very next day, the Kazakhstanis played against Germany and quickly took the lead. They lacked defensive reliability, so in the end, the blue and yellow did not score a single point (1:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
All the players of the national team are in the ranks.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Kazakhstan scores 1.5 goals per match.
- Kazakhstanis receive a four-minute penalty per match.

Hungary

Current form
Hungary reached the World Cup last year, when Gergely Majorosz's team managed to take first place in the second division, going through the entire tournament with just one defeat. After that, the national team completely failed to qualify for the Olympic Games and also played in several friendly tournaments. Already in May, the Hungarians held control matches against the Slovenes (2:4) and the Canadians (0:6), but they failed to show a decent level of play in the matches against these teams.
Kzanad Erdely's team started the tournament in Denmark with a crushing defeat against Germany (1-6), but they managed to hit Philip Grubauer's goal once. The next day, the nominal guests were defeated by the US national team (0:6), and this time the Hungarian national team could not score goals and scored only 13 shots on the Americans' possessions.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the leaders of the Hungarian national team will play against Kazakhstanis.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Hungary scores 0.5 goals per match at the World Cup.
- Hungarians concede an average of six goals per match.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In the last five games between the teams, the first period was not productive.
1.75Bet 2nd period: Kazakhstan will score
Hungary conceded in the second period in two games of the tournament
1.38Tip and bets
The national team of Kazakhstan has won a psychologically important victory over Norway and, in theory, may even compete for entry into the playoffs. Roman Starchenko's squad is much stronger than the Hungarians in recruiting hockey players, while Oleg Bolyakin's team has more experience playing at the highest level. The Hungarian national team looks like the main contender for relegation from the elite division and it is difficult to say what can save the nominal guests. We offer a bet on winning first in regular time.
Our betting tip is that Kazakhstan will win in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
The Hungarian national team scored only one goal in two meetings and played very poorly in attack at the start of the World Cup. Kazakhstan has good goalkeepers and Oleg Bolyakin's players look good on the defensive. They managed to hold off the Norwegian team and we think they won't concede more than one or two goals from the Hungarians.
The betting tip is Hungary's individual total of less than two goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
Matches between these national teams are rarely bright. Both teams prefer to act with an eye on their own goal and do not run forward from the first minutes. The Hungarian national team simply does not have the resources to score a lot, and Kazakhstanis are unlikely to take unnecessary risks. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
The betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.68
