In Group A, two outsiders will meet, although before the start of the tournament it was difficult to classify Slovakia as such. But the young squad from the local championships shows that the tournament does not play a big role for the team, the next stage of preparation for the Korean Olympics.

In the first game, Slovakia defeated Italy only in extra time, and even then, the Slovaks were frankly lucky when they pushed the puck in the last minute of the third period. The second showed what Slovakia is really capable of, the team absolutely lost to Latvia, it is not a fact that the latter will even make it to the playoffs.

Denmark resignedly lost in two opening matches, first 0:3 to Latvia, then 7:2 to the USA. The game with the Americans showed at least some dynamics in the Scandinavian attack. It is possible that this team will remain without victories in the tournament.

In today's game, you can try to take a draw, it seems to us that the main time will not reveal the winner.

The World Hockey Championship match Slovakia - Denmark will take place on Tuesday, May 9 at 21:15 (Moscow time). Bookmakers give preference to Slovakia in this game. The team started the Championship poorly and now it will be very difficult for them to get into the playoffs. In the first match, the Slovaks lost points in the match with group outsider Italy, winning only in overtime. Moreover, in regulation time they were down 1-2 and were able to win back a minute before the final siren. In their next match, Slovakia lost to Latvia with a score of 1:3. Now, even if she scores six points in the next two matches - against Denmark and Germany, she will have to beat one of the group favorites - Russia, Sweden or the USA - to get into the quarterfinals. By the way, last year Slovakia became only fifth in its group, two points behind fourth position. Just like in 2015, when the gap from the playoff zone was five points. She finished in fifth place in 2014, one point behind fourth position. And the last time she managed to reach the playoffs was in 2013, when she lost to Finland in the quarterfinals with a score of 3:4.

Before the start of the Championship, Denmark was considered one of the outsiders of Group A and so far justifies its status: it lost 0:3 to Latvia, and then was defeated by the US team 2:7. It is possible that she will approach the last round with a complete lack of points, given that she will not be a favorite in any of the first six matches of the group stage. But the key for her will be the last match - against Italy, and in it the Danes have a good chance of winning, which will almost certainly keep them in the top division. However, this team cannot be underestimated either. By the way, last year Denmark took fourth place in their group, making it to the quarterfinals, where they lost 1:5 to Finland. And although she lost her last three matches at the World Championships to Slovakia, site experts believe that in the upcoming match she will be able to score at least two points.

Slovakia's victory - 2.08, draw - 4.29, Denmark's victory - 2.87.
