Command Analysis

Switzerland

Current form
Switzerland currently sits on the third line of the overall standings and has nine points to its credit. For the first time in several years, the national team can finish the European Tour not in last place, but for this it needs to hold two final matches at a good level.
Let's remind that in the opening match they played against Sweden and lost to it in a hard-fought match with a score of 1:2. At the same time, the Swiss opened the scoring, realizing the majority, but later they themselves missed two goals in the 4x5 format, and they could not score goals in equal formations. Then the Crusaders were severely let down by discipline, as they violated the rules four times, and the opponent withdrew only once.
In general, Patrick Fischer's team has demonstrated mediocre performance during the European Tour throughout the season. As a rule, we see no more than one or two abandoned goals in his performance, so the national team completes many matches in its favor only thanks to good attacking actions and reliable goalkeeping.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, Switzerland has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Switzerland gets an average of 9.5 minutes of penalty time.
- As part of the European Tour, Switzerland has a 4:10 ratio in scoring and conceding goals in the second period.

Finland

Current form
Finland is literally a couple of points behind the first place in the standings, so if it performs well at the current stage of the European Tour, it can claim the championship. Of course, this tournament is not very important for the national team, since it regards it only as preparation for the World Cup, but it is always pleasant to get even such a trophy.
However, if the Finns held the last stage of the championship at a high level and did not suffer a single defeat, then just the other day they started with an unsuccessful match against the Czech Republic, which they lost with a score of 2:4. It was very unfortunate for Suomi then that the starting game segment was formed, in which she missed three unanswered goals, after which she tried to return She played the game and reduced the gap to a minimum, but she didn't have enough strength to implement a full-fledged comeback.
We emphasize that Juuse Saros played on goal then, but after such an uncertain performance, the coaching staff will probably prefer Emile Larmi, who at the last stage of the European Tour gave an incredible match against Sweden and scored the first biscuit for the national team.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the main players are currently present in the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Finland has a 12:4 ratio in goals scored and conceded in the second period.
- According to statistics, Finns get 8.2 minutes of penalty time.

In three out of five matches, the Swiss scored in the second leg.
1.85Tip and bets
In our opinion, Switzerland is able to impose a tight fight on its opponent in the upcoming match and compete for points. The Swiss have looked great in previous meetings with the Finns and this season they have always brought it to at least overtime. Finland is clearly not in the best shape right now, as shown by its last match against the Czechs. We think that betting on an outsider's handicap looks like a good option.
Prediction - Switzerland wins with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals in 1.77
Betting on an individual total
In this confrontation, we would not expect a large number of goals scored by Finland. Switzerland plays well defensively, and the goalkeepers do a good job of their duties. The crusaders in the framework of the European Tour, in general, are used to acting extremely closed, so we suggest betting on the Finns.
We take Finland's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 2.05
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be inconclusive and usually took place with fewer than five goals scored. Both teams adhere to the concept of indoor hockey and pay a lot of attention to defense and power wrestling. We would also not expect a large number of goals in the upcoming meeting, especially considering that the teams played each other dry at the last stage of the European Tour.
We bet on a total of less than 4.5 pucks for 2.00
