Austria vs Slovakia prediction

Slovakia bounced back strongly from their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Sweden by getting the better of Slovenia by three points to one. They raced into a 2-0 lead in the first period and extended it in the second. A late consolation for Slovenia did little to dampen spirits as the Slovakians celebrated their first win.

Even better for Slovakia is that they are in prime position to follow that up with another positive result here. Austria have lost their first two games, conceding six points and it would be a surprise if they didn’t slump to a third straight defeat.
