The Kazakhstan national team arrived at the 2025 World Cup with high hopes. Before the tournament kicked off, Oleg Bolyakin said that keeping their place in the top division was the most realistic goal, but the coach wouldn't say what else he was aiming for. So, in the first match, the Yellows and Blues beat the Norwegians 2-1, which was a surprise, but then there were more problems.
The Kazakhs lost to the Germans 1-4, then shockingly lost to the Hungarians 2-4, making life really hard for themselves. After that defeat, the Yellow-Blues really needed to pick up points, but they were beaten by the Danes and Czechs 1-5 and 1-8, and they've got games against the Americans and the Swiss coming up. Now, Oleg Bolyakin's charges either need to pick up at least a point themselves, or wait for the Norwegians to defeat the Hungarians.
USA
The US team is doing pretty well at the group stage of the 2025 World Cup, but the Americans usually have it pretty easy at this point in the tournament. It's usually in the playoffs where they run into trouble, because any mistake can end up costing them. Just to let you know, the team hasn't made it to the final since 1960, and the last time they won bronze was at the 2021 World Cup in Latvia.
Ryan Warsofsky's team has already played five games at the 2025 World Cup, losing 0-3 to the Swiss. Another disappointing game was against the Norwegians, when the Americans were ahead 5-1, let the Vikings come back from 5-5, but still won 6-5 in overtime. In the last three games, they beat the Danes 5-0, the Hungarians 6-0 and the Germans 6-3, which is enough for third place in Group B.

Kazakhstan vs USA Match Prediction 18 May 2025
Kazakhstan's national team at the World Cup 2025 were clearly set on fighting for a play-off, but as it turned out, the key match was against the Hungarians, who beat them 2-4. So now the Blue and Yellow teams have to either take points from the Americans or the Swiss, which seems unlikely, or wait for the Norwegians to lose to the Hungarians. The US team are in a league of their own. They're way stronger than the Kazakhs, so it's no surprise they won 10-1 when the two teams met in the World Cup 2024 qualifiers. They'll probably pick up three points again without even breaking a sweat.
Kazakhstan's national team is conceding more and more with each match during the 2025 World Cup. In the first match against the Norwegians, Oleg Bolyakin's team only let in one goal. So, in the meetings with the Germans and the Hungarians, we got four pucks each. There are five Danes and eight Czechs. When the group stage is over, they'll be up against some pretty skilled opponents – the Americans and the Swiss. So it's pretty likely the statistics won't look as good.
