Canada vs Austria: prediction & betting odds May 15, 2025

The Matchday 7 clash in Group A of the 2025 World Championship between Canada and Austria will take place on May 15 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm. Canada vs. Austria: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Canada

Canada secured a 5-0 victory over France in their last World Championship match. The team more than doubled their opponent's shot attempts and converted two power plays. Standout performers for Canada included Brandon Montour (1 goal, 1 assist) and Bo Horvat (2 goals). Currently, the team has collected the maximum possible points and sits second in Group A's standings, being the top-scoring team after Sweden (16 goals) and the most defensively solid (1 goal conceded).

• Canada has not scored more than five goals in regulation time in 8 of their last 10 World Championship games.
• The team has conceded at least two goals in 60 minutes in 6 of their previous 9 World Championship matches.
• Canada has won by at least a four-goal margin in regulation time in their last three World Championship matches.

Austria

Austria claimed their first tournament victory by defeating Slovakia 3-2 in a shootout. After leading by two goals in the first period, the team lost their advantage but managed to convert two shootout attempts. Marco Kasper was a standout player, earning two points (1 goal, 1 assist). Following their recent win, Austria climbed to sixth place in Group A with two points.

• Austria has scored at least two goals in regulation time in 7 of their last 9 World Championship games.
• The team has not conceded more than four goals in 60 minutes in seven of their previous World Championship matches.
• Austria has not lost by more than a two-goal margin in regulation time in 8 of their last 9 World Championship encounters.

Canada vs. Austria: Match Prediction

Austria has been a pleasant surprise in this World Championship, despite their results. While they have faced tough opponents at the start of the tournament, their performance suggests they can compete against teams of similar caliber. However, in the upcoming match, such expectations are unlikely to be met. Canada is clearly superior in class, with their lineup, ambitions, and overall gameplay at a high level, making it difficult to foresee what could stop them.

In 2 of the last 3 official head-to-head encounters, Canada won by at least a six-goal margin, and in this World Championship, they have won all their games by at least four goals. The team's skill level suggests they will succeed once again, and I do not expect Canada to show leniency towards their opponent.

My prediction: Canada with a handicap of (-3.5)
