Kazakhstan Form

Kazakhstan go into their penultimate group game knowing that nothing less than a victory will do in the race to reach the knockout stage.

They enjoyed a winning start to the competition as they beat Norway 2-1, but it has been all downhill since then.

Kazakhstan were beaten 4-1 at the hands of Germany, and then suffered a 4-2 defeat when they took on Hungary.

The losing continued with a 5-1 loss to Denmark, and reached four straight games when they were beaten 8-1 by the Czech Republic last time out.

This means Kazkakhstan must win their final two group games, and even that might not be enough.

United States Form

The United States head into their penultimate group game having already secured a place in the knockout stage.

The Americans raced out of the blocks with a couple of shutout wins, downing Denmark 5-0 and Hungary 6-0.

However, their winning start came to an abrupt end in game three as they were shut out themselves, losing 3-0 to Switzerland.

The United States rebounded quickly, although they made hard work of a 6-5 overtime win over Norway.

Their last victory was more convincing though, as they USA improved their record to 4-1 with a 6-3 success against Germany.

Verdict

The United States have wrapped up a quarter-final berth, but we still expect a commanding win.

Kazakhstan have suffered a string of heavy defeats, so the Americans could run riot.
