Slovakia vs. Norway Live Odds

Moneyline: Slovakia -5000, Norway +1200
Spread: Slovakia -3.5 (-105) , Norway +3.5 (-135)
Over/under: 6.5

Slovakia 1-1-0-1 = 5 points, seventh overall will face Norway 0-0-1-2 = 1 point, 11th overall in the Qualification Round of the 2010 Men’s Olympic Hockey tournament. The winner of this game will face the defending Olympic Champion Sweden on Wednesday in a quarter-final matchup. Slovakia is currently a 3.5 goal favorite and the over/under for this game is 6.5.

Team Slovakia has been the surprise of the Olympic tournament thus far. Their only loss is a heartbreaking opener against the Czech Republic in a game that Tomas Vokoun stole the game for the Czechs. Since then, they have beaten Russia and destroyed Latvia. The mix of experience and youth has worked well leading to Slovakia looking like they are the team that has gelled the quickest in the tournament. Marion Gaborik and Marian Gaborik have been supplying the offense, Zdeno Chara has been a rock on defense for the Slovaks and Jaroslav Halak has been providing the solid goaltending. Slovakia quickly becomes a dark horse in this tournament and should roll over a weak and beaten Team Norway. Online Hockey Betting at Sportsbook

The Norwegians are one of the teams that have no business playing into the second week of Men’s Hockey. If it wasn’t for the Qualification Round concept adopted by the Olympic Committee, then Norway would already be eliminated. They have shown very little in this tournament except for one decent effort against the surprising Swiss. In that game, they were able to do something that Team Canada and the United States were not able to do – score four goals on the Swiss keeper.

On paper, this game is clearly a mismatch. Slovakia should be able to handle the Norwegians with ease.

Norway vs Slovakia Free Gambling Pick
Slovakia is a good all around team and are playing with a lot of confidence right now. I think that they can win by four goals in a 5-1 game.
