Hockey. World Cup 21
The Germans do not lose in regulation time for four head-to-head confrontations. The last meeting with the participation of these teams took place on May 13th, 2017 in the framework of the World Cup. Then Germany won a landslide victory with a score (4:1). We see that the total has never been broken through more, since hockey players have a mediocre realization of scoring chances.
Germany
Canadian team has always been among the favorites of the World Championships, this tournament is no exception. It is the “maple leaves” that have the most representatives of the NHL at this tournament, having 21 players. The Americans are in second place, they have 18 hockey players from the strongest league in the world. For Canadians the World Cup is one of the few reasons to get together. At the last world championship they reached the final, where they lost to the Finns with a score 1:3. Of course, the national team does not have such stars as: McDavid, Crosby and many others. The Stanley Cup is naturally more important.
Italy
Italy played terribly at the last World Cup, which took place already in 2019. They were one of the few national teams that performed disgustingly both offensively and defensively. They never managed to leave the group. Unsurprisingly, they only won one victory over Austria (4-3) after a shootout. The Italians showed themselves quite well in 6 extreme confrontations, having won 4 victories. However, it is worth considering the fact that they did not yet have serious opponents. They managed to make a small sensation a couple of days ago, beating the French with a minimal lead (1:0) in a friendly match.
Prediction
Germany is the undisputed favorite in this pair, but we see no reason to take their victory with a huge negative handicap. They have never been famous for high performance, besides, Italy can try to "dry the game". Based on all of the above factors, we advise you to play a total under 6.5 goals. Both on the one and on the other side there are good goalkeepers who have an excellent safety factor. Most of the German players were called up from the local championship, but they have a slight advantage over their upcoming rival, which is the excellent teamwork. The composition of Italy does not inspire confidence. The Italians did not particularly stand out as eminent hockey players, so there is no point in expecting good results from them. Our prediction: total under 6.5 of 1xBet with odds of 2.00. Second bet: Germany wins with a handicap -4, for 1.65 1xBet. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.00.
