The Matchday 11 clash in Group B of the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship between Germany and the Czech Republic will take place on May 19 at the Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning. Germany vs. Czech Republic: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Germany
The Germans suffered their second defeat in the tournament, losing to the USA 3-6 in their last match. Forward Wojciech Stachowiak stood out by scoring a goal and providing an assist in the second period. Germany is fourth in their group, with nine points.
- At least five goals have been scored in regular time in 14 of Germany's last 15 World Championship matches.
- The Germans have conceded at least four goals in 4 of their last 5 World Championship games over 69 minutes.
- The team has won in regular time in 7 of their last 10 World Championship encounters.
Czech Republic
The Czechs secured their fifth consecutive victory in the tournament by defeating Kazakhstan 8-1 in their last game. Forward Roman Cervenka was notable, scoring one goal in the second period and two in the third. The team has scored 28 goals, the best result in Group B, and they lead their group with 14 points.
- The Czechs have not conceded more than two goals in their last nine head-to-head World Championship matches in regular time.

Germany vs. Czech Republic: Match Prediction
Two strong teams face each other, and neither will want to give up the victory easily. In their last two matches, Germany conceded a critical number of goals (at least five in each of the aforementioned games), yet they effectively executed sharp attacks: the Germans scored at least three goals over 60 minutes in 4 of their last 5 World Championship games.
The Czech Republic currently tops their group and will likely aim to strengthen their position in the upcoming match. The team often engages actively from the first minutes: the Czechs have scored at least three goals in 9 of their last 12 World Championship games over 60 minutes. It is also worth noting that head-to-head matches between Germany and the Czech Republic have often been quite high-scoring: at least six goals were scored in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head World Championship encounters in regular time.
I believe that in the upcoming match, neither team will sit back defensively. My prediction: Total over 5 goals
