The Austrian national team continues to play in the elite world division, which in itself is a success for the Eagles, but they almost created a huge sensation at the 2024 World Cup. At the group stage, they took one point away from Canada, losing in overtime 6:7, beat Finland 3:2, and defeated Norway 4:1.
To reach the playoffs, the Red and White had to solve the simplest task - to defeat Great Britain in the last game of the group stage, and the British had not scored a single point in the previous six games and were early eliminated from the elite. And in this meeting the Austrians faltered, unexpectedly losing 2:4.
Finland: form and statistics
Finland is the team that eventually made it to the play-offs at the 2024 FIFA World Cup instead of Austria. The Suomi representatives failed in the group stage of the last World Cup, but still made it to the quarter-finals, where they lost to the Swedes in overtime - 1:2. So the magnificent era of Jukka Jalonen in the national team came to an ignominious end.
Antti Pennanen became the new head of the Blue and White, under whose leadership the Finns had already played at the Four Nations Tournament, where they took the last place in the quartet, scoring only two points in three games. In addition, before the start of the 2025 World Cup, the Suomi failed in the Czech stage of the Eurotour, losing all three games with a total score of 6:18.

Austria vs Finland match prediction 9 May 2025
For the Finnish national team, the last year has been extremely bad. They almost missed the playoffs at the 2024 World Cup, then finished last in the group at the Four Nations Tournament, and before the start of the 2025 World Cup they failed in all three games at the Euro Hockey Tour in the Czech Republic. And now the Blue and White will face the Austrians, to whom they lost for the first time in history a year earlier. Of course, Antti Pennanen's wards must take revenge for last year's defeat, after all, the coach has put together a pretty good squad.
It is unlikely that the upcoming confrontation will please with high efficiency. Yes, the Finns conceded 18 (!!!) pucks in three games at the Euro Hockey Tour stage in the Czech Republic, but at the 2025 World Cup the Suomi defence will obviously act more responsibly. What's more, the Blue and White have a very strong goalkeeping team.
Our main prediction: is Handicap 2 (+2.5) for a coefficient of 1.80 in the betway bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: is Handicap 2 (+2.5) for a coefficient 1.80 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
Our final betting tip on the match: is Total Under 5.5 for a coefficient of 1.84 in the bet365 bookmaker.
