LiontipsSwitzerland vs Slovakia. Prediction and Betting Tips for IIHF World Championship (May 27, 2021).
Command Analysis
Switzerland are currently on the third line of the standings and have six points in the asset. The Swiss national team could have scored more points, but after two victories in a row, they were absolutely destroyed by Sweden with a score of 0:7. In that game they looked absolutely helpless in attack.
Earlier Patrick Fischer's charges confidently beat the Czech Republic (5:2) and Denmark (1:0), but in the confrontation with Sweden, they conceded two early goals and after a bad start were not able to pull themselves together. At the same time, we can't say that the Swiss were much weaker than the Swedish team. Just luck wasn't on their side that day.
Slovakia rank first in Group A with a total of nine points. First, Slovakia beat both outsiders - Belarus (5:2) and Great Britain (2:1), and after that, they created a sensation with a victory over Russia with a score of 3:1. The Slovaks were definitely a good match to the Russians in speed, movement, and technique.
The best performance was given by Peter Cehlárik, who scored two goals and gave four assists. For far it looks very likely that Slovakia will go to the playoffs from first place.
