Hungary is finally back in the elite world division! A year earlier, they played in the second strongest group, finished second, and achieved the awaited promotion. They last played at such a high level eight years ago. But now they need to keep up, and they might have a big problem. The Hungarians have played 11 friendlies, having claimed just one victory, 5-2, over the Japanese. The opponents were incredibly powerful because, apart from the Canadians, they faced the Ukrainians, the Poles, the Brits, and the Slovenes. It seems that Hungary is in trouble.

Denmark, in recent years, has become a capable team, which made a noise at the 2022 Olympics. They nearly made it out of the group at the last World Cup but still ended fifth and left the playoffs. With a solid and balanced squad, the team has every chance to recover from that failure. The main problem is the absence experienced goalkeeper. Speaking about the others, the Danes have all the leaders, even Winnipeg's Nikolaj Ehlers is ready to help.

The opponents are of entirely different levels. For Hungary, the upcoming cup will be their first in the top division in the last eight years. Moreover, the Hungarians had failed 10 of their 11 friendlies, although their opponents were humble. Denmark is doing well right now. Almost all their key players have come to the tournament, so the Reds and Whites can meet significant challenges. 

We have mentioned that the Hungarians held 11 friendlies against modest opponents and conceded 40 pucks (3.64 on average). The Danes have a great offense that should break down the Hungarian defense.
