Command Analysis
Czech Republic
Czech RepublicCurrent form
The Czech Republic is in the second position of the standings, but it has excellent chances of getting into the playoffs from the first place, especially if it successfully holds the remaining matches. The team has been undefeated so far and has lost only one point in the opening game against Switzerland (5-4 OT).
Recall that after that, the Czechs defeated Norway (2:1) in the fight, but in the last match they literally defeated Denmark with a score of 7:2, leaving them no chance of a favorable outcome. There was also a big victory without the puck of the main hope of the national team, David Pastrniak, who has already become the main scorer and earned a total of six points in the goal+pass system.
It should be noted that Radim Rulik's team tries to play exclusively number one and is constantly in positional attacks, so it is not surprising that he spends most of his time in someone else's zone. The Czech Republic's most successful performance is the second period, in which it now has an 8:2 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yaquim Condelik will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injury.

Hungary
HungaryCurrent form
Hungary remains one of the main outsiders in its group, but at the same time it is currently on the fifth line of the standings. The team should be absolutely happy with its position, as some of its competitors still haven't scored points. Let's emphasize that the national team started the tournament with two defeats in a row, but celebrated success in the last game.
The Hungarians pulled themselves together after crushing matches against Germany (1-6) and the USA (0:6) and defeated Kazakhstan in the final match with a score of 4:2. Then they made great use of almost all the chances they had and played well on the counterattack. Gergei Majorosh's squad repeatedly punished the opponent for blunders in their zone and eventually brought the matter to a victorious end without any problems.
By the way, Hungary even scored one of the goals in the majority, and Peter Vinze took advantage of his chance to score. Of course, compared to many teams in the tournament, the national team looks pretty weak, but these three points give it hope of maintaining its registration in the division.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last three matches with the Hungarians, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.60Bet 3rd period: Hungary will score
In two out of three matches, the Hungarians scored in the third period.
2.80Tip and bets
The Czech Republic is the undisputed favorite of this confrontation and should be able to achieve success within the main time of the match without any problems. However, it is unlikely that the lions will try their best to score as many goals as possible, since they want to leave their strength for fights with more serious rivals. Hungary, of course, looked mediocre against the Germans and Americans, but winning the last match should have given it extra self-confidence. Based on this, we do not think that the Hungarians will concede by a five-goal margin.
Prediction - Hungary wins with an Asian handicap (+4.5) on goals in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Hungary may well find opportunities to score in the upcoming match. The Czechs conceded in absolutely all matches, and in the last game against the Danes they conceded twice. The Hungarians have shown that they are capable of playing on the counterattack, so we think that betting on their individual total looks like a good option.
We bet on Hungary's individual total of more than one puck in 2.10
Bet on the total total
The previous matches with the Czech Republic were spectacular and scored a lot of goals. Hungary does not have a reliable defensive game, so it tries to act on opposite courses, which is why it also produces effective duels. It is likely that in the upcoming confrontation we will witness six or more abandoned goals.
We take a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.50
