Command Analysis
Czech Republic
Czech RepublicCurrent form
The Czech national team shows excellent hockey on the international stage and won all three previous stages of the European Tour. Radim Rulik's team has suffered only two defeats this season, both against the Finnish national team, which the hosts had already beaten the day before (4:2). In April, the reigning world champions held a series of control matches and lost only in one of them. In Linz, the Czechs lost to the local Austrians in overtime, losing the lead three times (3:4, OT).
The hosts brought a pretty good squad to the Czech Games, in which several players clearly stand out. In addition to goalkeepers Karel Veimelka and Daniel Vladar, Filip Gronek and Jakub Lauko can be mentioned. The latter performed well in Boston this season and scored two accurate shots against the Finns in the opening match of the tour.

All the leaders of the hosts will be able to play in the second match.
Interesting betting trends

- The Czech national team scores 3.1 goals per game
Sweden
SwedenCurrent form
The Swedes remain the worst team on the tour, and after winning bronze at the last World Cup, they have won only two official matches, not counting one victory in the Four Nations Tournament. The team led by Sam Hallam took the last place in all previous stages, but this time it can show better results and has already beaten the Swiss (2:1). In April, the Scandinavians had four matches against the Finns and were able to win only one of them.
The Swedish national team can boast a strong squad by the standards of this tournament. The visitors have Samuel Ersson and Arvid Soderblom at the last line of defense, while there are quite a lot of hockey players from the best league on the planet playing in the field. Special attention is drawn to Mikka Zibanejad, William Eklund, Alexander Wennberg and Leo Karlsson, who were noted for their effective actions in the opening match.

1.60Tip and bets
It's time for the Swedes to pull themselves together and start winning before the start of the World Cup. Sam Hallam's team has an excellent squad and is quite capable of dealing with the hosts of the tournament. The Czechs are having a great season on the international stage, but it's going to be incredibly difficult for them right now. For four consecutive matches, three Teams have been losing to their opponent in regular time, but now there is a great opportunity to break this trend. We think that the Swedish national team will be better. We offer a bet on winning the second one with a zero handicap.
Our betting tip is that the Swedish national team will win with a zero handicap by a factor of 2.10
Betting on an individual total
The Swedes need to play attacking combinations, and in the first game of the tour, Sam Hallam's team moved well ahead. Yes, the hosts have a great pair of goalkeepers, but this one is unlikely to help the Czechs hold off the pressure of the opponent. We think that the guests will act as the first number and will be able to distinguish themselves with at least three accurate shots.
The second bet is Sweden's individual total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.00
Bet on the total
Matches between the teams are regularly productive. Now there is no unnecessary pressure on either side that could link the actions of the hockey players. We believe that each of the teams will move forward from the first minute and we will see the game on a collision course. We are waiting for a productive hockey game and suggest betting on a total of more goals.
The betting tip is a total of more than 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.15
