Command Analysis

Sweden

Current form
The Swedes held four friendly sparring matches with Finland in April. In the first meeting, they managed to win 2-1, with two goals scored only in the third period. And then followed three defeats in a row without scoring goals. In those matches, you could see the obvious problems in attack. Of course, we can say that the squad was far from the strongest, but the opponent had the same situation. The team is expected to have a more powerful squad today. At the moment, it is known for sure that 13 hockey players from the NHL will play for the national team at the upcoming World Cup. Of course, we won't see them all in the match against Switzerland yet.

However, Patrick Fischer's team had no rivals at the Swedish level. Nevertheless, we note the victory in the last game against Latvia with a score of 4:2. The Swiss Championship has just ended, and now the national team can count on all the strongest players from the national championship. Denis Malgin and Sven Andrighetto stand out in the squad, who has experience playing in both the NHL and the KHL.

This bet was played in three of the five previous face-to-face matches
1.74Bet period 2: draw
In three of the last four face-to-face meetings, Sweden and Switzerland drew in the second period.
2.85Tip and bets
Sweden has three painful defeats with a dry score from Finland. Obviously, this moment will add motivation to the players today to break an unsuccessful streak. Plus, the current squad is much stronger than the one that was in the confrontations with the Finns, and we will see many players from the NHL. In the ten previous face-to-face confrontations, the Swedes have never lost to the Swiss national team in regular time, but there is still a difference in class between the teams, and they are a comfortable opponent in terms of playing style. We expect the guests to break their unsuccessful streak of three defeats today.
Our betting tip is that Sweden will win by a factor of 2.02
Bet on the total
Switzerland demonstrated effective hockey in friendly matches, the national team itself played actively in attack, but also allowed the opponents to do a lot at their gates. Sweden, after three consecutive matches without scoring goals, will obviously bet on attacking today, and the squad has strengthened decently. In the betting tip, we expect that the opponents will score more than four goals between the two.
The second bet is a total of more than 4.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.60
The bid for the first period
In three of the four previous face-to-face matches, the national teams of Sweden and Switzerland dispersed peacefully following the results of the first period. We believe that this time the teams will not immediately force events on the ice, but will keep an eye on each other and will not reveal the winner.
The betting tip is a draw in the first period with a coefficient of 2.60
