Norway vs Denmark: match preview
Norway currently sit second in their group and are producing one of the biggest surprises of the tournament. The team have suffered just two defeats so far. They fell to Canada 6-5 in overtime and lost 2-1 to Slovakia in their opening game, but the Norwegians have won every match since. They now have 13 points from six games and remain in second place. Their playoff spot is already secured, but if they want to stay on this rung of the standings, they must beat Denmark.
As for the Danes, they are no longer in contention for anything significant. After six games, they have collected five points and currently sit second from bottom in the standings. Their five-point cushion over Italy confirms that Denmark will remain in the top division and compete among the elite again next year. In their previous outing, they edged Italy 3-2 in a shootout. Before that, they claimed an impressive 4-0 victory over Slovenia.
Prediction
I believe Norway will be able to secure the win in this game, especially considering how crucial the result is if they want to finish higher in the table. My recommended bet is a Norway victory.
