USA National Team

The Americans had an excellent start in the group stage of the World Championship, defeating Denmark 5-0 in their previous match. The first goal was scored towards the end of the first period, followed by two goals each in the second and third periods. Matty Beniers was the standout performer, scoring twice against the Danes.

• The USA has not lost after three periods in 7 of their last 8 World Championship games (1 draw, 6 wins).
• At least 5 goals have been scored in 10 of the last 11 matches involving the USA in this tournament.
• The Americans have won by at least a three-goal margin in regulation time in their last 5 World Championship matches.

Hungary National Team

Hungary suffered a defeat in their opening group stage match of the World Championship, losing 1-6 to Germany. Throughout the game, the Germans dominated, scoring two goals in each period. Hungary's only goal came in the ninth minute of the third period, scored by forward Gergo Ambros.

• Hungary has scored no more than three goals in regulation time in 12 of their last 14 World Championship games.
• Hungary has not won after three periods in 10 of their last 13 World Championship games.
• At least six goals have been scored in 8 of Hungary's last 9 official matches.

USA vs. Hungary: Match Prediction

The Americans performed excellently in their first group stage match of the current tournament, clearly demonstrating their championship ambitions. In the upcoming clash, there's not much intrigue regarding the winner—the question is more about how significant the margin in favor of the USA will be and whether Hungary can narrow that gap. In recent World Championship games, the USA has conceded at least one goal in 9 of 11 matches. Additionally, in two World Championship matches against Hungary, the team has conceded one goal in each.

Hungary is certainly not the strongest opponent in this tournament, and their chances of advancing to the next stage are quite slim. However, it's worth noting that the team fights to the end in every match, often managing to score at least one goal. In their last thirteen matches, Hungary has scored at least one goal.

Despite the likely outcome favoring the USA, I believe that Hungary will manage to score against the Americans, as they have in past matches. My prediction: Hungary to score – yes
