Kazakhstan vs USA prediction

Chicago Blackhawks’ Frank Nazar was on the scoresheet twice in USA’s win over Germany, although it was made harder than it should’ve been after the Germans came back from three points down to tie the game before USA wrestled back control to triumph 6-3. After getting the job done, they’ll be heavily fancied to do the same again here when taking into account what we saw from Kazakhstan last time out.

On the back of an 8-1 thrashing at the hands of Czechia, Kazakhstan are likely to face further defensive struggles in this game when taking into account the quality of the USA offense. Another significant haul of points is on the cards for the Americans, as is the victory.

Kazakhstan vs USA tip: USA to win
