Slovenia vs Latvia: prediction & betting odds May 13, 2025

The Matchday 5 clash in Group A of the 2025 World Ice Hockey Championship between Slovenia and Latvia will take place on May 13 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm. Slovenia vs. Latvia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Slovenia

Slovenia suffered a defeat in their previous match against Slovakia, marking their second consecutive loss in this World Championship. Slovenia scored their only goal in the third period, capitalizing on a power play. The team is at the bottom of Group A, being the only team in their group yet to earn any points.

  • No more than four goals have been scored in regulation time in Slovenia's last five official matches.
  • The team has lost after three periods in 5 of their last 6 official games.
  • Slovenia has not scored more than one goal in regulation time in 6 of their last 8 official matches.

Latvia

Latvia lost their previous encounter against Canada with a score of 1-7, suffering their first defeat in the current World Championship. Latvia scored in the eighth minute of the match, taking the lead. Currently, the team is one of the most conceding in their group, having allowed eight goals. Latvia is in fifth place in Group A with three points.

  • At least five goals have been scored in regulation time in 5 of Latvia's last 6 World Championship matches.
  • The team has lost after three periods in 4 of their last 6 World Championship games.
  • Latvia has conceded at least six goals in regulation time in 4 of their last 6 World Championship matches.

Slovenia vs. Latvia: Match Prediction

The clear favorite in the upcoming match is Harijs Vitolins's team, which has only lost to Canada in the tournament so far, which was expected given the team's roster in the current World Championship. Otherwise, Latvia seems quite rational according to their capabilities and should not face problems against Slovenia.

Latvia has won in regulation time in 4 of the last 5 official head-to-head meetings. Moreover, Slovenia has lost both times so far in the current tournament after three periods and poses little threat overall. I believe Latvia will comfortably take maximum points, so my prediction: Latvia to win
