The Winter Olympic Games are expected to be an invaluable chance for Germany to show their ice hockey competitiveness, as they will share Group C with very tough national teams like Latvia, Denmark, and the US. For their opening game in the competition, the Germans will face the Danish squad next Thursday, and even though they were made favorites by the bookies’ odds, it definitely won’t be an easy game.
In this regard, it should be noted that Germany recently played a friendly game against Italy, and even though they weren’t dominant enough, it should be noted that they played that game without any NHL players. With this in mind, having players like Leon Draisaitl and Tim Stützle is expected to increase the German’s offensive power to compete for a spot in the quarterfinals of the competition.
Meanwhile, Denmark has only been able to win one of their last five games; however, even though they are the underdogs in this game, it should be remembered that the Danish team was able to eliminate Germany during the 2025 Ice Hockey World Cup. With that recent victory in consideration, Denmark could become one of the surprises in the Olympics due to the presence of experienced players like Oliver Bjorkstrand and Lars Eller on the roster, but they aren't really expected to compete with the US for the top spot of the group.

Germany - Denmark Key Points
- Germany has scored four or more goals in only two of their last eight games.
- Denmark has conceded nineteen goals during their last five straight games.
- Germany has never faced Denmark in the Olympic Games, so this game will be a fantastic chance for Leon Draisaitl to show his scoring capabilities.
- Denmark hasn’t defeated Germany in regulation time since April 2015, when they defeated the German squad in a friendly game (1-0).

Our Germany vs Denmark Prediction
Considering all this, both teams are expected to deliver one of the most even games in the main group stage, but the outcome will clearly show how far these teams could go in the competition.
Summarizing, even though Germany is considered the big favorite team to win, they should avoid depending on Leon Draisaitl, as he will most likely be the main target of the Danish defense during the whole game. Therefore, the pick for Germany – Denmark is: Score Anytime – Leon Draisaitl!
