Russia and the Czech Republic face off in the men's tournament in ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics. We assessed the opponents' chances and made a prediction for this match.

Command Analysis

Russia

Russia recorded a comfortable victory over Denmark (2:0) in the previous match of the Olympic ice hockey tournament. Goalie Fedotov gave his second shutout performance. However, the Danes looked very poor in attack and didn't really challenge Russia's defenses.

So far, Russia's biggest problem has been their inability to score during power play: they had 10 chances to capitalize on man advantage, but couldn't score a single goal.

Czech Republic

After losing to Denmark in the first game, the Czech Republic seemingly lost their chance to make the playoffs. They had a terrible game and only one shot out of 40 reached the net (1:2).

But yesterday, the Czechs snatched an important victory from Switzerland. Goalie Grubets saved 96% of all shots and the team eventually beat the Swiss in a shootout (2:1 SO).

TipRussia to win

1.79

Russia will hope to secure qualifying from the top line, and for that they have to beat the Czech team today. Despite their victory in the last game, the Czech Republic remain the group's main outsiders, and we believe that Russia will be able to win in regulation.
