The Matchday 9 clash in Group A of the 2025 World Championship between Canada and Slovakia will take place on May 17 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm. Canada vs. Slovakia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Canada

Canada secured their fourth consecutive victory in the current World Championship by defeating Austria 5-1 in the previous match. The team only managed to break through the opponent's defense in the second period, having been down by one goal at the start, yet they outshot their opponents by more than three times (52:16). Brandon Montour (0+3) and Nathan MacKinnon (2+1) each scored three points for Canada. With 12 points, Canada leads the Group A standings, boasting the best offensive record in their group (21 goals) and the fewest goals conceded (2).

  • The team has won by at least a four-goal margin in regular time in four matches at the current World Championship.
  • At least six goals have been scored over three periods in 5 of Canada's last 8 World Championship games.
  • Canada has not scored more than five goals in regular time in 9 of their last 11 World Championship games.

Slovakia

Slovakia managed to earn points in their third consecutive game by defeating France 2-1 in their last match. The team opened the scoring in the 30th minute and netted the winning goal on a power play midway through the third period. With seven points, Slovakia is among the top four in their group.

  • No more than six goals have been scored in regular time in 7 of Slovakia's last 9 World Championship matches.
  • The team has avoided defeat over three periods in 8 of their last 11 World Championship games (5 wins, 3 draws).
  • Slovakia has scored at least two goals in regular time in 11 of their last 13 World Championship games.

Canada vs. Slovakia: Match Prediction

Slovakia has shown they can challenge any opponent, but the only truly tough test at this World Championship was against Sweden, where they failed, losing without scoring and conceding five goals. Canada is unlikely to be any more forgiving, especially as they have been consistent and met all expectations so far.

Canada's roster for this tournament allows them to play effectively, showcasing their full attacking potential. On average, the team scores no less than five goals per game in this World Championship. Additionally, in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings at the World Championship, Canada has scored at least five goals against Slovakia over three periods.

Given Canada's proven scoring ability, my prediction: Canada Individual Total Over 4.5
