The Kazakhstan team was initially considered one of the outsiders of the tournament and the main contender for the last place. In the first two matches, the team confirmed this status, losing with a large score first to Sweden (1:8), and then to the Czech Republic (2:14). After such results, the Kazakh team was still able to pull itself together and had a pretty good match with Slovakia, where it managed to score one point.

2.50Tip and bets
Kazakhstan has a much weaker lineup compared to Switzerland, but the match with Slovakia proved that the Kazakhs are ready to fight to the end. The team managed to score two goals while short-handed and sent the game into overtime. Switzerland is clearly not higher in level than Slovakia, so here too the underdog will have a chance to at least put up a fight.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+3.5) on Kazakhstan for 2.10
Bet on total
We expect that the coaching staff of Kazakhstan will work on the mistakes and we will not see a large number of missed goals. Switzerland managed to show high efficiency only in the last match, and before that they were not distinguished by a strong game in attack. Most likely, this time it will not come to a rout.
Our prediction is total under 7.5 goals at 1.65
Bet on individual total
Kazakhstan roster doesn't allow them to play attacking hockey, so the main focus will likely be on defense. We think that the nominal hosts won't be able to score many goals.
Our forecast is Kazakhstan individual total under 1.5 goals for 1.83
