Win or go home. That’s the reality facing Germany (1-2-0) and France (0-3-0) as they clash in the qualification playoff round of the 2026 Winter Olympics men’s hockey tournament Tuesday morning in Milan.
The winner books a quarterfinal date with Slovakia, while the loser packs their bags. Online sportsbooks aren’t giving France much of a chance, listing Germany as an overwhelming -800 favorite in the Olympic Men’s Hockey odds.
Puck drop is set for 6:10 am ET from the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena. You can catch the game on USA Network and Peacock.
Here are my Germany vs France prediction and picks, along with the latest odds for Tuesday’s Olympic qualifier.
