Slovakia vs Denmark Prediction and Betting Tips (29.05.2021)

Command Analysis

Slovakia

Slovakia are in second place in the standings and have all the chances to go through to the playoffs this year. Slovakia won three games out of four, including the victory over Russia with a score of 3:1. However, they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Switzerland, conceding eight goals - 1: 8.

The Slovaks could not rebuff their opponents and didn't show a great game in their own zone. The defenders rarely blocked the shots, and the goalies also struggled to do their duty. Of course, Ramsay's men will try not to repeat their mistakes in future games, since they clearly have set high goals.

Denmark

Denmark also look pretty good, although they were considered one of the main outsiders before the start of the World Championship. Despite the outsider status, they are on the fourth line of the standings and will fight to the last to reach the quarterfinals. The Danes earned an important victory over Sweden (4:3), and after the defeat from Russia (0:3), they confidently dealt with Belarus (5:2).

Heinz Ehlers' team doesn't show particularly strong defensive play, but they compensate for this by productive actions in the attack. It will be interesting to see how Denmark will perform tonight, as the second game in two days is always difficult to play.

Tip and bets

1.95Slovakia to win

Slovakia played really well all the way until they had to confront Switzerland, but a short break should help the team to come round. In the upcoming fight, they will be looking to redeem themselves for the crushing defeat and strengthen their position in the standings. Denmark, objectively, are a weaker team, so we suggest betting on the victory of the favorite.
