Command Analysis
Norway
NorwayCurrent form
Last year, the Norwegian national team was able to jump over its head and took sixth place in its group, beating the teams from Denmark (2:0) and Great Britain (5:2). Tobias Johansson's team failed to qualify for the Olympics in Italy, losing just to the same Danes (1:4). Before the start of the World Cup, the Norwegians played eight test matches and scored only four victories. This time, the team is playing without its leader Mats Zuccarello, who took time off after Minnesota's departure from the NHL.
Thomas Berg-Paulsen's team started the tournament with an unpleasant defeat from the Kazakhstanis. The Polar Bears took the lead after the first period, but then played very poorly in the other half of the ice and did not score a single goal in the remaining 40 minutes (1-2). A day later, the Norwegians gave a decent rebuff to the Czechs, but still failed to score points (1:2).

Germany
GermanyCurrent form
The German national team has been trying to break into the world hockey elite for the past few years. The Germans regularly reach the playoffs at the World Championships and last year they also succeeded. The team led by Harold Kreis lost in the quarterfinals of the last draw to the Swiss (1:3) and after that played only in friendly tournaments. The black-red-yellow team is only getting stronger every year, and so far they are playing without their leader Leon Draisatl, who continues to fight for the Stanley Cup.
Moritz Seider's team is confidently advancing through the tournament and scored six points in two meetings. At first, the Germans defeated the Hungarian team without any problems (6:1), and the next day they easily dealt with the Kazakhstanis (4:1). The leaders of the national team so far are Dominic Cahoon (2+1), Lucas Keble (2+1) and Maximilian Kastner (1+2). Each scored three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
To date, Germany has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Germans win 53.9% of World Cup face-offs
- The German national team makes an average of 34 shots on target.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last two out of three games between the teams, the first period was not productive.
1.80Betting period 3: Germany's victory
The Germans won twice in the third period in this tournament.
1.78Tip and bets
Moritz Seider's team is in great shape for the tournament and so far it looks almost flawless. Yes, the Germans have not played against the leaders of the group yet, but the Norwegian national team is not one of them. The Scandinavians are doing well on the defensive, but without Mats Zucarello, their offensive performance is not so good. Harold Kreis's players should not lose points in games against such weak opponents. We think that the nominal guests will surely beat the opponent. We offer a bet on the victory of Germany with a minus handicap.
Prediction - Germany wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
The Germans conceded only two goals in the opening two matches. They have Filip Grubauer, and the second goalkeeper of the national team performed well against Kazakhstan. Norway scores one goal on average at the current World Cup, so we don't expect more than one or two accurate shots from the nominal hosts.
We bet on Norway's individual total of less than two goals for 1.50
Bet on the total total
The Norwegians will try to play as reliably as possible and will do everything to miss as little as possible. The Germans smashed their rivals at the start of the tournament, but now it won't be so easy. We believe that the teams will not show spectacular hockey and will not score more than five goals for two.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.75
