In one of the matches of the World Hockey Championship, the players of the national teams of Kazakhstan and Italy will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Kazakhstan
In fact, this meeting will be a ticket for one team to the elite division next year. However, there are few reasons for joy, because the Kazakhs lost in all six previously held duels. In fact, the meeting against Italy is a match of life, which is extremely necessary to win. In the match of the last round, Kazakhstan had a real chance to catch on to the points, but lost to Germany with a score of 4:5.
Italy
The Italian national hockey team, like its current opponent, also managed to hold 6 matches by this time. It is worth noting that the Italians lost in all the meetings. Thanks to the point scored in the duel with France (1:2 FROM), we managed to break away by 1 point from Kazakhstan and settle on the 7th line, however, a defeat in a face-to-face meeting with the Kazakhs may finally put an end to the team's performances next season.
Statistics and figures:
- Kazakhstan is the favorite of the meeting;
- Kazakhs lost 9 matches in a row;
- Italy lost in 6 consecutive games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 11:3 in favor of Kazakhstan.
Forecast
I believe that Kazakhstan will be able to defeat the opponent in this meeting. Our bet in this case will be in favor of the favorite. The quotation for this event is very solid.
