Czech Republic - USA: betting tip for the World Cup match

On May 20, the Czech Republic will face the United States in the final match of the World Cup group stage. The Czechs have reserved all the previous matches for themselves and have never stumbled. However, now they have to be tested against a serious opponent. Last year, the lions defeated him in a hard fight. Will they be able to cope this time? You will learn about this from our betting tip

Command Analysis

Czech Republic

Current form
The Czech Republic is in the leading position in its group, but in order to get into the playoffs from the first position, it needs to succeed in the upcoming match. It should be noted that the Czechs have never stumbled before and showed themselves exclusively from the best side. The national team completed all six previous matches in its favor and lost one point only in the opening match against the Swiss.
Radim Rulik's squad did not have any problems with opponents below their level and dealt with them, as a rule, with a difference of several goals. Let's remind that the other day the team defeated Kazakhstan (8:1), and after that very confidently beat Germany with a score of 5:1. At the same time, the Czech Republic continues to demonstrate excellent performance and in most cases differs by no less than three or four goals.
The goalkeepers are also doing well with their duties. For example, in the last game, Daniel Vladarzh parried a total of 19 shots and scored his first cracker at a similar level.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Yakim Kondelik will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the Czechs make 30 shots on target per match.
- Czech Republic wins 51.6% of face-offs

USA

Current form
The USA is in the third position of the standings and has 14 points to its credit. The national team at this championship has a pretty good squad, but still it can hardly be called a champion. The Americans had previously experienced much more difficulties than their rivals. For example, they stumbled in the match against Switzerland and lost to it with a score of 0:3.
Then Ryan Warsofsky's team, of course, gave out a series of three victories, but even Norway was uncertainly beaten (6:5 OT). There are a lot of questions about the defensive line at this tournament, because if the national team plays pretty well in attack and creates a lot of dangerous moments, then it does not always have time to play well in its own zone.
Most of the goals she missed came in the second half of the game, in which the team currently has a 9:5 ratio in goals scored and conceded. If she doesn't manage to improve her defensive game, it will be difficult for her to qualify for something serious in the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, the United States has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, the USA wins 56% of face-offs
- On average, Americans make 38 shots on target.

2.85Tip and bets
We think that the Czech Republic can count on two or three points in this confrontation. The Lions looked good in previous meetings and looked better in many ways than the USA. The Americans do not have such a powerful squad at this championship, so we would definitely not consider them favorites for the upcoming match. Plus, the Czechs are an inconvenient opponent for them, since previous matches between the national teams often ended in favor of the Lions.
Betting Tip - Czech Republic's victory in 2.65
Betting on an individual total
The Czech Republic has been demonstrating excellent performance throughout the tournament and has scored no less than three or four goals in many matches. The Americans, in turn, conceded at least three goals in three out of four matches. David Pastrniak is also in great shape at the moment and is ready to please the fans with a bright game, so it makes sense to take an individual total.
We take the Czech Republic's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.85
Bet on the total total
In this match, we may well witness at least six abandoned goals. The Czech Republic plays well offensively, but the Americans also take advantage of their chances well, and they have something to respond to. Plus, the last four out of five meetings with the United States turned out to be spectacular and took place with more than five goals scored.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.95
