Slovenia vs Austria: betting tip for the World Cup match

Current form

The World Cup started very hard for Slovenia. The team competed against the strongest teams of Group A in the first five matches and suffered the expected defeats in all of them. After a dry defeat against Canada (0-4), the team faced Slovakia and again almost lost the pucks, but still managed to realize one moment in the attack in the third period, and in the end lost with a score of 1:3. It seemed that the team would be able to give a decent rebuff at least to Latvia, but this did not happen. Due to constant defensive failures, we had to suffer another defeat (2:5).

Next, the Slovenes had to face Finland and Sweden, having suffered two more setbacks with the score 1-9 and 0-4, respectively. At the moment, the national team is on the last line in the Group A table, and everything is going to the fact that Slovenia will drop into the First Division if it does not start earning points.
