Switzerland is still not in the best shape and is having a hard time fighting back against its opponents. In the Karjala Cup, the team managed to win only one victory over Sweden, and even then, they snatched victory in a shootout (4:3). The team also put up a serious fight against Finland and was one step away from another success, but this time they had to give in in overtime (2:3). There were also some defeats, the team could not cope with the pressure of the Czech Republic, losing with a score of 2:5.
It seemed that the Swiss would be able to show their full potential on their home arena, but this did not happen. In the match with Sweden, there were serious problems with the implementation of moments in the attack, which led to another rout (1:4). Goalkeeper Charlin did not cope with his task, reflecting only 82% of the shots.

Current form
At home, the Czech Republic, as expected, showed its best side and started the tournament with a crushing victory over Sweden with a score of 5:2. The attack line did not create many dangerous moments in the opponent zone, but the implementation was excellent. However, in the next match with Finland, there were problems in the attack, and as a result, they did not manage to score a single goal, losing dry (0:4). But the team quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans and left no chance for Switzerland, again winning with a difference of three goals (5:2).
The Czechs also had a successful start in the Swiss games, where they were able to confidently take revenge on the Finns, winning another victory with a score of 3:1. Forward Kubalik showed an excellent game, scoring twice. Indeed, the Czech Republic has been in excellent shape for a long time and has consistently coped with its European competitors.

1.99Tip and bets
It will be very difficult for Switzerland to please their fans and win in the upcoming match, as the team faces a powerful opponent in the Czech Republic. Indeed, at the moment the Czechs look head and shoulders above their competitors, and it is unlikely that home walls will be able to compensate for this gap in class. We believe that the visitors will be able to show their best side again and win a confident victory, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our prediction is a Czech Republic victory at 2.11
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, the teams are unlikely to please fans with productive hockey. In face-to-face meetings, they rarely score a large number of goals and mainly rely on the defensive line.

Bet on the outcome of the first period
The Czech Republic, due to its significant superiority over its opponent, will play first and is quite capable of earning an advantage already at the end of the starting segment.
