5.40Tip and bets
Canada was not impressive at all in the group stage matches and lost the fight even for second place. There is hope that the Canadians will get going in the playoffs, but the Czechs are not going to give up either. The European team will definitely fight for victory and will not lose big to the hosts.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+2.5) for a goal against the Czech Republic at 1.68
Bet on total
This match should be the most interesting in the quarterfinal stage, so we expect a productive game from the opponents. The teams know how to attack effectively, and will certainly give the spectators unforgettable emotions. We suggest betting on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 5.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on individual total
In the group stage, the Canadians did not show productive hockey even against weak teams. It will be even more difficult to score in the match against the Czech Republic. We do not think that the Czechs will let in five goals or more.
Our prediction is Canada individual total under four goals at 1.78
