Both teams have shown a tendency for high-scoring games, making this matchup unpredictable and potentially filled with goals. Key recommendation: Back Austria with the free goals.

United States vs Austria Live Stream & Tip
Austria are tipped to cover as an underdog against the United States.
The Austrians have lost three games in a row, but the US have underwhelmed massively in this tournament and this feels like a lot of goals.
Key Numbers – Can USA Avoid 4th Defeat?
- United States have won just 3 of their 6 games
- United States have failed to cover in any of their 6 games so far
- Austria have won 3 of their 6 games in the group stage so far
- Each of the United States’ last 5 games have produced over 5.5 goals
USA Lead Head-To-Head; Won Last Meeting
- United States lead the series 8-0 since 2007
- United States won 4-1 when the two teams last met in May 2023
United States Have Split First Six Games
The United States gave themselves an opportunity to advance in World Championship by winning last time out.
America entered the tournament as reigning World and Winter Olympics champions, but with a weakened squad in comparison to those successful groups.
They opened the tournament with a 3-1 defeat to Switzerland in a rematch of last year’s final, only to rebound with a 5-1 victory over Great Britain.
The United States failed to build on that as they lost 6-2 to Finland, but responded with a 3-2 victory over Germany.
America again failed to back up a win, falling 4-2 to Latvia, only to again issue an immediate reaction to a defeat, beating Hungary 7-3 to set up this must-win matchup with the Austrians.
Austria On Three-Game Losing Run
Austria remain fourth in the group – meaning they are in a qualification spot – but they go into this game having lost three straight.
The Austrians received a favourable schedule to start the tournament, and they took full advantage with a three-game win streak.
They opened the competition with a 5-2 win over Great Britain, and backed that up by beating Hungary 4-2 and Latvia 3-1.
Austria’s perfect start was ended in humbling fashion though, as they fell 9-0 to Switzerland, and they have not been able to get back on track.
The Austrians were beaten 6-2 by Germany in their next outing, and go into this matchup on the back of a 5-2 defeat to Finland.
Verdict
Austria’s form collapsed when the schedule got tougher, but we like them with the free goals.
The United States have been a big disappointment so far – they are yet to cover the Line in any game and they are on the brink of an embarrassing group stage exit.
