Czech Republic vs Switzerland: is a sensation possible?
The Czech Republic will meet Switzerland on May 22 and try to get their first victory in the World Championship. Will the Swiss be able to fight back? You will find the answer in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Czech Republic
Czech RepublicThe Czech Republic have a fairly strong roster compared to other national teams in their group. The Czechs clearly set the hardest tasks for themselves. However, the Czech team did not manage to start the tournament with a victory: they were defeated in the starting match by Russia with a score of 3: 4.
The Czechs have equalized the score three times and were close to taking matters to overtime, but a few seconds before the end of the third period they conceded an accurate shot from Grigorenko. Sometimes, Philip Peshan's men lacked communication, and more than once they lost the puck in the middle zone and allowed dangerous counterattacks.
Switzerland
SwitzerlandIn recent yearsSwitzerland have significantly improved the level of performance and started to look solid even against top teams. However, this time they will have to play without Roman Josi, who is still busy playing in the NHL playoffs. But Niko Khishir and Timo Meier are in the squad, and they will definitely add edge to the attack. Jonas Siegenthaler is the biggest hope of Switzerland in defense.
The Swiss made it to the final in 2018, and in 2019 lost to Canada in the quarterfinals in a bitter struggle. They probably want to get to at least the semifinals this time. Patrick Fischer's team looked great in friendlies and beat Russia twice, and in the previous two games, they defeated Latvia with a score of 3:0 and 2:1.

Switzerland have done a lot of preparation for the Championship and looked good in the friendlies.

We think that in the upcoming fixture, the Swiss will be able to get the points.
