Slovenia vs Austria: prediction & betting odds May 18, 2025

The Matchday 10 encounter in Group A of the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship between Slovenia and Austria will take place on May 18 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm. Slovenia vs. Austria: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Slovenia

In their last match, Slovenia suffered a 0-4 defeat against Sweden, marking their fifth consecutive loss in regular time in this tournament. Slovenia was outshot by a factor of six in that game. Without any points, the team sits at the bottom of Group A, having conceded the most goals (25) and scored the fewest (4) in the current World Championship.

  • No more than seven goals have been scored in regular time in 7 of Slovenia’s last 8 official matches.
  • The team has not conceded more than five goals over three periods in 7 of their last 8 official games.
  • Slovenia has lost by at least two goals in their last five World Championship games in regular time.

Austria

The recent match against France was the first in this World Championship where Austria secured a victory in regular time (5-2). Forward Marco Kasper stood out in the last game, scoring once in both the first and third periods. With five points, Austria is currently sixth in their group’s standings.

  • At least five goals have been scored in regular time in 10 of Austria's last 13 World Championship matches.
  • The team has not scored more than two goals in 60 minutes in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head encounters at the World Championship.
  • Austria has failed to win in 5 of their last 6 World Championship matches in regular time (1 draw, 4 losses).

Slovenia vs. Austria: Match Prediction

Slovenia currently occupies the last spot in Group A. The team struggles at all stages of the game, with forwards often unable to break through the opponent's defense: Slovenia has scored no more than one goal in 5 of their last 6 World Championship matches in 60 minutes. It is worth noting that most matches involving Slovenia do not tend to be high-scoring: no more than five goals have been scored in 6 of Slovenia's last 8 World Championship games in regular time.

Austria appears more confident than their upcoming opponent, but like Slovenia, they do not excel in terms of scoring: Austria has not scored more than two goals in 60 minutes in 4 of their last 5 World Championship games. The head-to-head statistics also suggest a "tight" game: no more than five goals have been scored in the last four head-to-head World Championship encounters in regular time.

I expect the game to be low-scoring. My prediction: Total under 5.5 goals
