LiontipsThe Czech Republic vs Great Britain. Prediction and Betting Tips for IIHF World Championship (May 29, 2021).
Command Analysis
At the momentthe Czech Republic are fifth in the standings and have five points in the asset. Surely the team had different expectations and hoped to be in the top four after the four games played. But the Czechs had a few bad games, starting the tournament with two losses. They seem to have fixed their mistakes, however.
First, they celebrated a win over Belarus (3:2 OT), and after that, beat Sweden with a score of 4:2. Philip Peshan's men were losing to Sweden 0:2 after the second period but mounted an amazing comeback in the last twenty minutes. The Czechs have a good squad and they must play their strengths.
Great Britain look very good at this World Championship, even though they suffered 4 defeats in five games. Let's remind you, that the British team lost to Denmark in overtime (2:3 ОТ), then they outplayed Belarus (4:3) and couldn't keep the advantage over Sweden, who in the end crushed them 1:4.
As we can see, the British refuse to yield even to the top teams, and even when they lose, they go down with a fight. The goaltender Ben Bowns plays quite well, working hard in every game and saving a lot of shots.

Tip and bets
The Czech Republic made an excellent comeback in the last game against Sweden, but we doubt that they will give 100% in the confrontation with Great Britain, and try to crush the opponent. Great Britain look pretty good even in the game against the favourites, and suffered a devastating defeat only in one game. Based on this, we bet on the positive handicap to the British.
Our first prediction - Great Britain to win with Asian handicap (+4.5)
As a rule, the Czechs do not score a lot, and we don't expect the upcoming game to be high-scoring. We believe the British will play on the defensive and try not to concede.
Our second wager -total under 6.5. goals.
