Kazakhstan vs Denmark: prediction & betting odds May 14, 2025

Matchday 6 in Group B of the 2025 World Ice Hockey Championship between Kazakhstan and Denmark will take place on May 14 at the Jyske Bank Boxen Arena in Herning. Kazakhstan vs. Denmark: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Kazakhstan Team

The Kazakhs suffered a 2-4 defeat against Hungary in their last World Championship match, marking their second consecutive loss in the tournament. Notably, both goals were scored on the power play. Arkadiy Shestakov stood out for Kazakhstan, contributing to both goals (0+2). After three games in the tournament, the team has accumulated three points and currently occupies the sixth position in Group B.

• Kazakhstan has lost in regulation time in 7 of their last 9 World Championship matches.
• The team has not scored more than two goals in regulation time in 8 of their last 9 World Championship games.
• No more than six goals have been scored in regulation time in 6 of Kazakhstan's last 8 World Championship matches.

Denmark Team

The Danes suffered their third consecutive defeat in the tournament, losing 2-7 to the Czech Republic in their last game. Nick Olesen (1+1) and Niklas Jensen (0+2) each recorded two points for Denmark. Alongside Norway, Denmark has yet to earn points in their group and sits at the bottom of the table, having conceded the most goals in their group (17 goals).

• Denmark has won in regulation time in 4 of their last 6 official head-to-head encounters.
• The team has scored at least three goals in regulation time in 5 of their last 6 official head-to-head matches.
• The Danes have conceded at least five goals in regulation time in 5 of their last 7 World Championship matches.

Kazakhstan vs. Denmark: Match Prediction

Despite bookmakers favoring the Danes in the upcoming match, attention should be paid to their opponent. The recent loss to Hungary was surprising but likely motivated Kazakhstan for a victory in the upcoming game, making them a potential winner. The only concern is that Kazakhstan will play their second match in two days, while Denmark, despite losing in regulation time in all their World Championship games, has faced high-level opponents. Nevertheless, Kazakhstan appears stronger on paper, but caution is advised.

In 4 of the last 6 official head-to-head encounters, Kazakhstan has not lost to Denmark in regulation time by more than one goal. Denmark, meanwhile, has not won by a large margin in their last nine World Championship matches. I believe if Kazakhstan falters again, it won't be by a large margin. My prediction: Kazakhstan with a handicap (+1.5)
