On February 11, the Denmark –Russia match will take place at the Olympics. What will be our choice in this confrontation?
Denmark
The Danish national team was pleasantly surprised at the start of the Olympic Games by beating the Czech national team (2:1). Given this, the team has a good chance to try to compete for second place and try to reach the quarterfinals directly. To do this, it is necessary to beat the Swiss or try to get points with the Russians.
Russia
The Russian national team managed to beat the Swiss national team (1-0) in the first round of the group stage of the Olympic Games. The cracker in this game was earned by Ivan Fedotov, having reflected 33 shots on his goal. It is important for Russians to improve discipline. Fourteen minutes of penalty in a game with the Swiss is a bit much.
Figures and statistics:
- The teams last met on May 26, 2021. The Russian national team won with a dry score (3:0);
- The Danish national team has won the last eight matches;
- The Russian national team has conceded only three goals in the last three meetings.
Forecast
We think it will be difficult for the Danish national team in this confrontation. If the Russians manage to reduce the number of unjustified deletions, they will be able to register a victory with a comfortable difference in the score. We are betting on the victory of the Russian national team, taking into account the handicap of (-2) pucks with a coefficient of 1.66.
