Czech Republic vs Denmark: prediction & betting odds May 12, 2025

The Matchday 4 encounter in Group B of the 2025 World Championship between the Czech Republic and Denmark will take place on May 12 at the Jyske Bank Boxen arena in Herning. Czech Republic vs. Denmark: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Czech Republic

The Czechs secured their second consecutive victory in the tournament by defeating Norway 2-1 in the previous match. This marks the team's fifth straight win at the World Championship (1 in overtime). The Czech Republic is among the top three in their group, with five points on the scoreboard.

• No more than six goals have been scored in regular time in 6 of the last 8 World Championship matches involving the Czechs.
• The team has drawn at the end of three periods in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings at the World Championship.
• The Czech Republic has not scored more than three goals in regular time in 7 of their last 8 World Championship games.

Denmark

Denmark lost their previous match against Switzerland 2-5, marking the team's second consecutive defeat in this World Championship. Both goals were scored in the first half, with Denmark leading at the 29th minute, but they conceded four goals from their opponents thereafter. Alongside Norway and Hungary, Denmark has suffered two regulation-time defeats in the tournament and currently sits among the bottom three in Group B standings.

• At least five goals have been scored in regular time in 5 of Denmark's last 6 World Championship matches.
• The team has lost by at least two goals in regulation time in 7 of their last 8 World Championship games.
• Denmark has not scored more than one goal in regular time in 5 of their last 8 World Championship encounters.

Czech Republic vs. Denmark: Match Prediction

The Czechs, as reigning world champions, have not been overly impressive but remain unbeaten in the tournament. It is unlikely that their upcoming opponent will change this trend. Denmark was not expected to cause any upsets, and none occurred at the tournament's start, with the team suffering two consecutive regulation-time defeats, losing by at least three goals each time. Clearly, Denmark is outmatched by the Czech Republic, and even if not in top form, Radim Rulik's team should secure maximum points.

Currently, the Czechs have 7 regulation-time wins in their last 9 World Championship matches, with five of those victories by at least a two-goal margin. I doubt Denmark will pose a serious challenge to their next opponent. I expect the Czechs to claim a confident victory, especially since Denmark has lost by at least two goals in regulation time in their last four World Championship matches.

My prediction: Czech Republic with a handicap (-1.5)
