Our tip: Austria – Slovakia: Slovakia less than 3.5 goals

12.05.2025 16:20

The Ice Hockey World Championship is in full swing, with Slovakia and Austria playing their third game of the tournament on Monday afternoon.

Our eastern neighbours will go into it in a slightly better mood – at least in terms of points. After a 0:5 debacle with Sweden at home, the Slovaks beat Slovenia 3:1 on Sunday. The favourite had the upper hand in the duel, as evidenced by the 39:18 shot ratio, but the Slovaks only beat goalkeeper Pintaric three times.

Austria is waiting for their first points, but they did not leave a bad impression in the first two encounters. They were able to torment the Nordic giants Finland (1:2) and Sweden (2:4). The home favourite even led over the Scandinavians in the 58th minute, but the home side averted a sensation with three goals in the space of just 58 seconds, the last of which fell into an open net.

What to bet on:

Slovakia will not have it easy against a tough opponent. Last year, Slovakia defeated Austria in both matches by 2:1 and 1:0. This time, too, a goal-poor duel is expected. The favourite will not score more than three times.

Confidence:

8/10
