Sweden vs Slovenia: prediction & betting odds May 16, 2025

Matchday 8 of Group A at the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship will see Sweden face Slovenia on May 16 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm. Sweden vs. Slovenia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Sweden

Sweden secured their fourth consecutive victory at the current World Championship by defeating Latvia 6-0 in their last match. Notably, six Swedish players each registered two points. In the Group A standings, Sweden holds the second spot with the maximum possible points, boasting one of the best scoring records in their group (17 goals), second only to Canada in the tournament.

  • Sweden has not conceded more than one goal in regular time in 3 of their last 4 World Championship matches.
  • The team has not won by more than two goals in 60 minutes in 5 of their last 7 World Championship games.

Slovenia

Slovenia suffered a 1-9 defeat against Finland in their last match, marking their fourth consecutive regulation-time loss in this tournament. Slovenia's only goal came in the second period, scored by Bine Mašič. Without any points, Slovenia sits at the bottom of Group A, having conceded the most goals (21) and scored the fewest (4) in the current World Championship.

  • No more than seven goals have been scored in regular time in 6 of Slovenia's last 7 official matches.
  • The team has not conceded more than five goals in three periods in 6 of their last 7 official games.
  • Slovenia has not scored more than one goal in regular time in 6 of their last 10 official matches.

Sweden vs. Slovenia: Match Prediction

Slovenia's performance in the current World Championship has been underwhelming, with all losses coming in regulation time. Their situation is further complicated by having to play their second match in two days, and the heavy defeat to Finland is likely to have a psychological impact. Meanwhile, Sweden has been consistent, never dropping points, with strong execution and high skill levels, making a confident victory likely.

In 2 of 4 cases at the current World Championship, Sweden has won by at least five goals in regular time. They also defeated Slovenia by a similar margin in their last encounter at the 2014 Olympic Games (5-0). I don't expect Sweden to perform any less this time, so my prediction: Sweden with a handicap (-4.5)
