Almaty - Nomad Astana

IB Division China. Six teams fighting for two spots in the elite. Two undefeated teams meet, both having defeated the Chinese hosts. The Slovakians unexpectedly played above their abilities and beat the French, while the Austrians defeated another strong opponent - the Danes. However, these two teams still have a chance to join the fight for higher positions. In my opinion, the Slovakians will struggle to maintain their place among the top two teams. The teams met earlier this year during the Olympic qualification, where the Austrians defeated their opponents 8-2. They have brought the same squad to China. Therefore, I believe it is time to put the overly confident Slovakians in their place and the experienced Austrians will fight for a win against them.

IB Division China. Six teams are fighting for two spots in the elite league. Two teams, both undefeated, face each other - both have defeated the Chinese hosts. The Slovaks unexpectedly played above their ability and defeated the French, while the Austrians beat another strong opponent - the Danes. However, both of these teams still have a chance to join the fight for the top spots. In my opinion, the Slovaks will not be able to hold on and secure a place among the two strongest teams in the division. These teams had already met in the Olympic qualifiers earlier this year, where the Austrians defeated their opponents 8-2. They have brought the same lineup to China. So I believe it's time to put the overachieving Slovaks in their place, and the experienced Austrians will fight for victory here.
