Sweden won
Denmark faces Sweden in World Championship action, with the bookmakers heavily favoring the Swedes at 90.9% implied probability. Sweden enters this tournament clash riding exceptional form, having won six of their last seven international matches including dominant victories over Finland (4-2) and Czech Republic (5-0) in recent Euro Hockey Tour action.
Denmark's recent World Championship history tells a concerning story against elite opposition. Their last tournament appearance saw heavy defeats to Switzerland (0-7) and Sweden (2-6), highlighting defensive vulnerabilities against top-tier nations. While Denmark showed flashes with upset wins over Canada and Germany, their inconsistency against stronger teams remains problematic.
Sweden's offensive firepower has been impressive, averaging over four goals per game in recent international competition. Their balanced attack and structured defensive play make them formidable opponents for Denmark's rebuilding squad. The Swedes' 6-2 victory over Denmark in last year's World Championship demonstrates their clear superiority in this matchup.
With both teams well-rested and no fatigue concerns, this becomes a pure talent and tactical battle. Sweden's depth and experience at the international level should prove decisive. The total goals market looks attractive given both teams' recent scoring trends, with Sweden's offensive capabilities likely to push this game over the projected 4.0 goals combined average.

Denmark enters this tournament with mixed recent form, winning four of their last eight international matches. Their World Championship struggles are evident from last year's campaign, where they suffered heavy defeats to elite nations like Switzerland (0-7) and Sweden (2-6). However, Denmark showed resilience with upset victories over Canada (2-1) and Germany (2-1), proving they can compete when motivated. Their defensive issues remain a major concern, conceding an average of 3.2 goals per game in recent World Championship action. The Danes have managed just one game this tournament cycle, losing 4-1, which limits current form assessment.

Denmark vs Sweden - Match Analysis
Yes, Sweden -1.5 offers strong value given their recent dominance over Denmark. The Swedes have won their last four meetings by multiple goals, including a 6-2 victory in last year's World Championship. Denmark's defensive struggles against elite opposition, combined with Sweden's offensive depth and tournament experience, make the -1.5 spread very achievable in this matchup.
The Over 5.5 looks promising based on recent head-to-head trends and both teams' scoring patterns. Denmark-Sweden encounters have averaged 5.8 goals over their last six meetings, with Sweden's potent offense consistently finding success against Denmark's porous defense. Sweden's recent form shows 4+ goals in most games, while Denmark's defensive vulnerabilities should contribute to a high-scoring affair.
Denmark's upset chances are minimal given the overwhelming talent gap and recent head-to-head history. While Denmark showed they can compete against quality opposition with wins over Canada and Germany, Sweden represents a different level of challenge. The Swedes' 90.9% market probability reflects their clear superiority, making a Danish victory highly unlikely despite tournament hockey's unpredictable nature.
