Slovenia - Slovakia. Betting Tip (cf 1.71) and bets on the World Cup match

Slovenia made a sensation in the first match of the group stage. The team fought against the clear favorite in the Czech Republic and, to the great surprise of all hockey fans, was able not only to restrain the pressure of the opponent, but also snatched Victoria from him in overtime (3:2). Goalkeeper Novak played superbly, deflecting 34 shots, which allowed him to beat the Czechs for the first time.

It seemed that a victory over the favorite would give the national team additional confidence in their abilities and would also allow Norway to fight back, but this did not happen. It was as if the Slovenes had given up all their strength in the first match of the group stage and suffered a dry defeat from the Norwegians with a score (0:4). In particular, it is worth noting that in three periods Slovenia scored only 11 shots on the opponent's goal.

Slovakia is set to qualify for the playoffs this year, and what is especially noteworthy is that there are good chances for such an outcome. Yes, in the opening match of the group stage, the team met fierce resistance from Norway, but thanks to high-quality defensive play, they pulled Victoria out in regular time with a minimal advantage of one goal (2:1). Goalkeeper Glavai scored, deflecting 94% of shots, preventing the Norwegians from realizing their attacking potential.

Next, the Slovaks faced a clear outsider, Italy. As expected, the national team easily beat the opponent with a three-goal difference (1-4). Striker Pospisil scored again, giving two assists.
