Germany vs Denmark: prediction & betting odds May 20, 2025

The Matchday 12 encounter in Group B of the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship between Germany and Denmark will take place on May 20 at the Jyske Bank Boxen arena in Herning. Germany vs. Denmark: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Germany National Team

The Germans suffered their third consecutive defeat in the World Championship, losing 0-5 to the Czech Republic in their last match. Notably, this was their first shutout loss in the tournament. Currently, Germany has nine points, which is half of the possible points, placing them fifth in Group B. Denmark also has the same number of points and is in the fourth position.

  • Germany has not scored more than two goals in regular time in 5 of their last 6 head-to-head meetings in the World Championship.
  • The team has won at the end of three periods in 7 of the last 11 World Championship matches.
  • At least five goals have been scored in regular time in six of Germany's matches in the current World Championship.

Denmark National Team

The Danes defeated Norway 6-3 in their last match, marking their third consecutive victory in this World Championship. Notably, the team converted four power plays. The most productive player for Denmark was Joachim Blichfeld (1+2). The team has nine points, placing them fourth in Group B.

  • Denmark has lost in regular time in 8 of their last 12 matches in the World Championship.
  • At least six goals have been scored in 60 minutes in five of the previous World Championship games.
  • The Danes have not scored more than two goals in regular time in 5 of their last 6 head-to-head meetings in the World Championship.

Germany vs. Denmark: Match Prediction

Despite Germany's three consecutive losses in regular time at the World Championship, their opponents were the main group leaders, whereas Denmark's three victories came against the weakest teams. The upcoming match will determine which team advances to the playoffs. In my opinion, Germany should be closer to achieving this. The team appears more balanced, and they have not exerted much energy before this crucial match, so they should showcase their potential.

Additionally, Germany rarely faces issues in head-to-head matches with Denmark, winning in regular time in the last three World Championship meetings. Furthermore, Germany has secured 7 victories in their last 11 World Championship matches, while Denmark has lost in regular time in 8 of their last 12 tournament games.

I believe Germany's motivation will be higher, so I favor them in this matchup.

My prediction: Victory for Germany
