As part of the group stage of the Olympic Games in Beijing, the teams of Germany and China will play against each other.
Germany
According to the results of the first matches in Group A, the national teams of Germany and China can be called the main losers. Both teams have suffered major defeats and have left extremely controversial impressions about themselves so far. The German national team in its opening match lost to Canada with a score of 1:5. By and large, everything was decided already in the first period, where the Germans lost 0:3. After that, Canada began to play much less aggressively in front, and in the middle of the second period, Germany even managed to win back one goal, Tobias Reeder scored. But after that, very quickly, Germany got another puck in its own goal and finally realized that nothing serious could be hooked in this game. As a result, in the third period, Canada scored another goal and then the teams did not strain themselves once again, since everyone understood that they had to play more important matches the next day.
China
The Chinese national team, in turn, today suffered a crushing defeat from the US national team with a score of 0:8. Yes, we said that the Chinese in Group A are clear outsiders, but at the same time we did not expect that the hosts of the Olympic Games would immediately receive such a painful injection. At the same time, after the first period everything was quite good, China missed only one goal. But, already from the middle of the second third of the match, fatigue began to appear, and the Chinese simply could not keep up with the Americans, and with a large difference in technique, this began to lead to regular missed goals. As a result, China lost the second period with a score of 0:3, and the final third of the match with a score of 0:4.
Forecast
Of course, the German national team is the undisputed favorite in this match, but at the same time, with the second match in a row in two days, as well as not the most stable game of both teams, you can expect a small sensation. We suggest you take a little risk in this match and bet on the outcome that none of the hockey players will make a double.
