United States vs Hungary Preview & Picks

The United States are tipped to cover in another one-sided win.

The Americans did not take the Danes likely on opening night, and we expect another clinical and emphatic performance as they power past the Hungarians.

  • The United States covered in the win over Denmark
  • The United States won the last meeting with Hungary by 6 goals
  • Hungary lost by 6 goals in their previous outing
  • The previous 2 meetings produced over 6.5 total goals

Head To Head

  • The United States lead the series 2-0 since 2016
  • United States won 7-1 when the two teams last met in May 2023

United States Form

The United States go into this matchup looking to make it back-to-back wins after an emphatic start to the tournament.

They opened their campaign on Friday and dominated Denmark on their way to a 5-0 shutout victory.

It was a great start for an American team looking to end it’s nations gold medal drought in this competition, which dates all the way back to 1960.

Last year they overcame a couple of group stage defeats to advance to the knockout stage, but their run in the knockout phase was short-lived.

The United States were dumped out in the quarter-finals, as they were beaten by eventual winners the Czech Republic, 1-0.

Hungary Form

Hungary are returning to the top table of international ice hockey following a one-year absence.

Their last appearance in the Ice Hockey World Championship was in 2023 when they fell at the first hurdle.

The Hungarians won just one of their seven group games, upsetting France 3-2 in overtime, and that resulted in their relegation.

They enter this year’s tournament having lost back-to-back exhibition games earlier this month.

Hungary fell to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Slovenia, before being shut out in a 6-0 defeat to one of the favourites to win it all, Canada.

Verdict

The United States did not overlook Denmark and we do not expect them to look past Hungary either.

The Americans will be determined to make a statement with another convincing win, and we expect them to do just that.
