Predictions for all matches of the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship – May 15

Predictions for all the matches of the 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, which will take place on May 15. We analyze each match in detail to help you make informed bets.

16:20 (Group A, Stockholm): Finland vs. Slovenia

Finland is known for its disciplined and organized play. Slovenia, although showing fighting spirit, is inferior in class. The Finns are expected to control the match from the very beginning, using their strengths in defense and effective counterattacks. A bet on Finland to win with a handicap of (-2.5) looks reasonable, given the difference in the level of the teams.

16:20 (Group B, Herning): Switzerland vs. Germany

Both teams have demonstrated stable play in the tournament. Switzerland impresses with their defense and quick transitions to attack, while Germany relies on physical strength and team cohesion. The match promises to be tense and will probably end with a minimal advantage for one of the sides. A bet on under 5.5 goals could be justified given the cautious style of both teams.

20:20 (Group A, Stockholm): Canada vs. Austria

Canada, as always, is among the favorites of the tournament. Austria, despite their efforts, is unlikely to be able to withstand the powerful attack of the Canadians. Canada is expected to dominate throughout the match. A bet on Canada’s victory with a handicap of (-3.5) seems logical, given the difference in class and experience of the players.

20:20 (Group B, Herning): Czech Republic vs. Hungary

The Czech Republic has demonstrated confident play in the tournament, well-coordinated teamwork and high performance. Hungary, although fighting in every match, faces difficulties against strong opponents. It is expected that the Czech Republic will take the initiative from the first minutes and secure a comfortable advantage. A bet on the Czech Republic to win with a handicap of (-4.5) may be justified, given the previous performances of both teams.
