Kazakhstan vs Germany Prediction and Betting Tips (26.05.2021)

Command Analysis

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan won in the first two games: first, they defeated Latvia (3:2 B), and then again in a penalty shootout were more accurate than Finland (2:1). In both cases, Kazakhstan were considered an outsider, but they didn't seem to mind that at all.

The team of Yuri Mikhailis however couldn't win the third game. They lost to the USA without scoring a single goal - 0:3. The Kazakhstanis took 18 shots at the opponent's goal while allowing the US team to take 52 shots. After three games, the Kazakh national team is on the fourth line and has four points in the asset, so their chances of going to the playoffs are low.

Germany

Germany are the leader of Group B with nine points. In each of the three games, they managed to earn a victory. The Germans defeated Italy (9:4), Norway (5:1), and Canada (3:1). But if in the first two games the result was not surprising at all, in the confrontation with the Maple Leafs the Germans were considered outsiders.

But Toni Söderholm's charges took advantage of the Canadians' problems. It is worth noting the actions of Niederberger, who saved a total of 39 shots, and many shots were stopped by the brave defenders.
