Slovakia vs Germany prediction
Slovakia vs Germany Best bet: Germany -0.5 1P (+185 at BET99)
A three-goal first period propelled Germany to victory on Tuesday against France, and I do believe they'll come out of the gates hot again against Slovakia.
Draisaitl & Co. have scored at least once in the opening frame in three of their four contests, taking the lead into the second period in two of those games.
Their last meeting with Slovakia last year ended 3-0, and Germany had two goals in the first frame.

Slovakia vs Germany same-game parlay
Germany -0.5 1P
Under 5.5
Germany and Slovakia have met five times since last February. While four of those matchups were international friendlies, there’s a common trend — the Under hit in every single one of those contests.
The teams combined for only seven goals across their last two meetings, with Germany winning 3-0 and 4-0. Slovakia has looked solid in the Olympics, though. Expect this one to be close, but we won’t see a ton of goals.
