Match Preview
Finland vs Canada prediction, the meeting will be held on December 18th. Let's understand the details of the confrontation and determine the optimal bet.
As part of the Channel One Cup, a confrontation between the national teams of Finland and Canada will take place. The match will take place at the CSKA Arena in Moscow.
Head-to-Head
The teams have met twice this year. In the first match, the sides played in the group stage of the World Cup - after a series of shootouts, the Finns got Victoria (3:2). And the second confrontation took place in the final, and here the Canadians took revenge – 3:2 in overtime.
Finland Review
After an offensive loss in the World Cup final, the Finnish national team played three matches in the Karjala Cup. The beginning of the tournament turned out to be powerful - 3:0 with Russia and 4:2 with the Czech Republic, but in the final performance the game failed. The wards of Yalonen lost to the Swedes with a score of 1:3, and the team missed all the goals in the minority.
Canada Review
Julien's players have already played one match in the current campaign. In the opening confrontation, the Canadians caught a loose in clear time with a score of 3:4 from the Russians. The guys did not demonstrate the best hockey in the first two periods, but they managed to add in the third twenty-minute - the team scored twice and made as many as 15 shots on goal. In general, the national team looked good.
According to the predictions of sportbooks, the Finnish national team has a minimal advantage. Finns are unlikely to change tactics, so they will spend more time on the defensive. The Canadians will definitely go for goals, so they will try to upset the opponent in the first period. We believe that Julien's brigade will show effective hockey.
