Austria vs Denmark Prediction: The Danes have a higher level of skill

Prediction for the World Championship 2024 match between Austria and Denmark which will take place on May 11. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Austria

The Austrian national team has become a strong participant in the world's strongest division, as the 2024 World Cup will be the Eagles' third consecutive appearance in the elite. Of course, fighting for the playoffs at the previous two World Cups was out of the question, but they managed to fulfil their main task. And now they will try not to drop out, but it will be extremely difficult, as they are the outsiders of Group A with Great Britain. The Austrians are bringing a very young squad to the Czech Republic, the main star of which is 22-year-old Marco Rossi, who played all 82 games for Minnesota in the NHL last season, scoring 40 points. Before the 2024 World Cup, the Red and White played a control game with the Canadians and lost 1:5.

Denmark

The Danish national team is a national team of a higher level, which has been playing in the elite division since 2003, but since then they have only twice reached the play-offs at the World Championships, but both times they finished in eighth place. At the 2024 World Cup, the Vikings will find it incredibly difficult to even qualify for the quarterfinals, as they have too many older hockey players on their roster, many of whom have NHL experience, but have already played their best years, while the new generation has yet to take the lead. Before the start of the tournament in the Czech Republic, the Red-Whites played five test games, in which they beat the Norwegians and Danes - 3:1 each, and three more times lost to the same Norwegians - 2:3, 3:4 and 1:2.

Expert Betting Tips

The Danish national team has not been performing at its best in recent years, and they have not managed to invite all of the country's strongest hockey players to the 2024 World Cup. The Vikings are unlikely to make the playoffs, but they are capable of fighting for survival. For this reason, the match against Austria is very important for them, and therefore there should be no underestimation of the opponent. Of course, the Danes have a higher level of skill, so they should beat the Eagles, besides those are not in the best shape now, as they have lost in six of the last seven meetings.
