The USA national team is very powerful in the group stage of the 2023 World Cup. According to the good old tradition, the Stars and Stripes invited many young guys to the tournament, but there are veterans like Nick Bonin next to them, who helped them progress already during the championship. In the four opening meetings, David Quinn's wards have not lost a single point so far, having won Finland – 4:1, Hungary – 7:1, Germany – 3:2, and the day before Austria – 4:1. Four consecutive victories allowed the Americans to be in first place in the Group A standings. Their key game will take place on May 23, when they defend the lead in the battle with the Swedes.

The Danish national team has made a great start to the current world championship, but this is not a guarantee of reaching the quarterfinals. In the debut of the 2023 World Cup, Denmark had only modest-level competitors, whom they easily outplayed: they dealt with the Hungarians – 3:1, with the French (OT) – 4:3, and defeated the Austrians – 6:2. The crucial game was against the Germans, who are the main competitors for them in the race for a ticket to the playoffs, but the Danes lost here - 4:6. Now they have the fourth place in Group A, but only games with top national teams are ahead.

The Danish national team is in a complicated tournament situation. At the beginning of the world championship, they won three games in a row, but the day before, they lost in the most crucial match to the Germans. So now they need to perform wonders, taking points from top-level opponents. In the confrontation with the Americans, it will be challenging to do this since they are in excellent shape, having won in all four previous games at the tournament with a total score of 18:5. 

The USA and Denmark national teams at the 2023 World Cup do not hesitate to play open and spectacular hockey. It is confirmed by statistics, according to which in four matches, the Americans have already scored 18 goals (4.50 on average per game), and the Danes have only one goal less (4.25 on average per game). Moreover, in the last three personal meetings, the rivals scored 21 goals against each other (7.00 on average per game), of which 18 were on account of the USA.
