As part of one of the matches of the Ice Hockey World Championship, the players of the national teams of France and Italy will fight face to face. Which of the opponents will get three points in this confrontation? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
France
The French national team has currently held 3 matches in the framework of the Ice Hockey World Championship. It should be noted that in the opening game of the world championship "tricolor" lost with a score of 2:4 to Slovakia. After that, in the second meeting, the French were able to put the squeeze on Kazakhstan, despite the fact that they conceded the first goal against the opponent (2:1). The last game against Germany turned out to be very tense, and according to the results of the meeting, the French lost to the Germans with a score of 2:3.
Italy
The Italian national ice hockey team performs very mediocre at the tournament. It is worth noting the fact that "squadra azzurra", like its rival, managed to hold three matches within the framework of the championship. It is worth noting that the Italians started the tournament with a defeat against Switzerland (2:5), after which they succumbed alternately to Canada (1:6) and Denmark (1:2). Italy had the greatest chance of winning in a duel against Denmark, where it was not clear until the last one who would get the victory in the meeting. As a result, three defeats led Italy to the penultimate place in the group. Only Kazakhstan plays worse than her at the tournament.
