Team USA last won a medal at the World Cup in 2021, taking home the bronze. They haven't played in the final since 1960. For the 2025 World Cup, the Americans have assembled a strong squad to finally compete for medals at the tournament.
However, the Stars and Stripes started the World Cup as if they had been replaced. Typically, the Americans thrill spectators with their aggressive hockey style, scoring and conceding goals in large numbers. However, they failed to score a single goal in their first three games: they defeated the Danes and Hungarians 5-0 and 6-0, respectively, and then lost to the Swiss 0-3.
Norway
The Norwegian national team pleasantly surprised everyone at the 2011 and 2012 World Cups when they made it to the playoffs twice, but they failed to build on this success. Since then, they have never progressed beyond the group stage or participated in the fight for survival.
The Norwegian national team needs a complete overhaul of its personnel. Forty-one-year-old Patrik Thoresen did not make it to the 2025 World Cup. Mats Zucarello, who was knocked out of the Stanley Cup not long ago, will not be playing in the tournament, and Michael Brandt-Nygard is still struggling in the AHL playoffs. Personnel issues will prevent the Vikings from progressing beyond the group stage.

USA vs Norway Match Prediction 14 May 2025
The US team got off to a flying start in the 2025 World Cup, beating Denmark and Hungary by a combined score of 11–0. However, the Americans lost 3–0 to Switzerland the previous day, so they will be eager to redeem themselves. The Stars and Stripes will face the modest Norwegian national team, beaten in all 15 of its last head-to-head meetings.
This US team is different from previous ones in that it plays solid defence but doesn't overwhelm its opponents in attack. Typically, the Stars and Stripes don't even consider defending their own goal in the World Cup group stage, yet they have now scored twice in defense and once in attack in three matches.
Our match prediction: H1 (-3.5) for a coefficient of 2.34 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: TU 5.5 for a coefficient of 2 in the bet365 bookmaker.
Our final betting tip on the match: BTTS-No for a coefficient of 3.20 in the betway bookmaker.
