Sweden - Slovakia. Betting Tip (cf. 1.70) and bets on the World Youth Championship match

The Swedes are approaching the main tournament of the outgoing year as the third strongest team on paper. Magnus Havelid's team has assembled a good squad and several hockey players stand out separately. Anton Frondell and Viktor Eklund from Djurgården have a good experience of playing together in the country's top league and quite often score points. The main star of the tournament will be Ivar Stenberg, who is one of the favorites of the upcoming draft. The forward plays great for Frelund and scores almost a point per game. Before the start of the tournament, the Swedish national team played the Canadians twice (1:2 and 4:2) and defeated the Swiss national team (7:3).

The Slovak national team was able to reach the playoffs at the last World Cup, but lost to Finland in the first round without much chance. This year, the team led by Peter Frihauf is unlikely to be capable of anything more, and it is difficult to single out a bright leader in the team. Several hockey players play in North American leagues, but they don't show any phenomenal results. Before the World Cup, the Slovaks scored a strong-willed victory over Latvia (3:1), and the next day they lost to the Czechs in overtime (1:2, OT).
