Czech Republic

Sweden

Match Preview

The Czech Republic and Sweden teams will share the ice in the 2nd round of the Czech Hockey Games. The "Lions" need to win if they plan to win the home stage. However, the Swedes are also contenders for first place and will not play half-heartedly.

The Czech Republic had a poor start at the home tournament. In the first round, they were significantly defeated by Finland (1-4). However, the score of the match does not reflect the real picture. Radim Rulik's charges had a colossal game advantage but failed to capitalize on their moments. 39-16 in shots on goal, and the team, which plays much better, loses by a large margin. Hockey is not always fair.

After the Czech Republic's defeat, the Swedes can be congratulated on winning the Euro Hockey Tour. A lead of 7 points will no longer be possible to level. However, the task of winning the last stage remains relevant for "Tre Kronor". In the first round, Sam Hallam's team had a tough time. The Swiss were at least not worse, but due to better execution, the "blue-yellow" achieved their goal.

Probable lineups:

Czech Republic: Dostal – Gudas, Kempny – Flek, M. Kovarzhik, O. Kovarzhik

Sweden: Wallstedt – Fehervary, Fantenberg – Friberg, Johansson, Nygard

When choosing a bet, we turn to statistics and note that the Czechs like to start matches slowly. The total of the first period being less than 1.5 goals has occurred in 7 out of the last 8 meetings involving them. This is exactly the option we suggest to bet on.
