- 2 of the United States’ 3 games produced over 5.5 total goals
Head To Head
- United States lead the series 27-9 since 2002
- United States won 5-2 when the two teams last met on May 10
United States Form
The United States go into this matchup looking to rebound from their second defeat in the Ice Hockey World Championship.
The Americans came into this tournament as the defending champions, and as winners of the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics, but they have struggled through their first three games.
They opened the competition with a rematch of last year’s final, and fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Switzerland.
The United States rebounded in emphatic fashion as they blew out newly-promoted Great Britain, 5-1, but their joy was short-lived.
The Americans slipped to 1-2 on Monday as they suffered a 6-2 defeat at the hands of Finland.
Germany Form
Germany enter this game still seeking their first win of the 2026 Ice Hockey World Championship.
The Germans narrowly missed out on the knockout stage a year ago, and unless they kick-start their 2026 campaign quickly, they will are poised to fall at the first hurdle again.
They opened the tournament with a tough game against Finland, and suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Finns.
Germany then followed that up with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Latvia, and in their third outing of the competition they suffered their heaviest loss yet.
The Germans took on Switzerland on Monday, and were on the receiving end of a 6-1 beatdown from the Swiss.
Verdict
The United States have made an underwhelming start, and their chances of back-to-back world crowns looks unlikely.
However, this meeting with Germany is a good opportunity for them to bounce back from their latest defeat, and we are backing them to take it.
