Italy vs Kazakhstan Prediction and Betting Tips (29.05.2021)

Command Analysis

Italy

Italy are on a four-game losing streak and currently occupy the last line of the group B standings. Only in a game against Germany, the Italian national team was able to score four goals but lost anyway (4: 9), and in all other matches, they only scored one goal per game.

The Italians lost to Norway (1: 4), Latvia (0: 3), and Finland (0: 3), not being able to score at all in the last two games. Of course, Greg Ireland's charges have a great disadvantage in class, and they can't get their hopes too high. Probably, they won't be able to get points in this fixture.

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan, despite not having the strongest squad, are showing great hockey and really hoping to go through to the playoffs. At the moment, the Kazakh national team occupies the fourth line of the table, they scored a total of seven points. Let us remind you that the Kazakhstanis have outplayed such tough opponents as Latvia, Finland, and Germany, and lost only to the USA and Canada.

In the last game against the Canadians, the intrigue lasted until the very end, as the squad of Yuri Mikhailis rebuffed their counterpart. If in the remaining two games Kazakhstan do not lose points, they will certainly qualify either from third or fourth position.

Tip and bets

1.5Handicap (-2) to Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan look stronger than their opponent, the team fought off some of the strongest teams at the tournament, while Italy couldn't even light the lamp once in the two previous games. Kazakhstan are fighting for the playoffs, so they need to score three points today. We think that they will cope with this task.

We bet on Kazakhstan to win with the Asian handicap (-2)

2Total under 5.5

The games of Kazakhstan are low-scoring, and the Italians did not concede that many goals recently. With a high degree of probability, the teams won't score more than five goals.
