Sweden - Italy. Betting Tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the Hockey Olympics match

Sweden showed excellent results at the last World Cup in the group stage, taking second place in the table. After confidently reaching the playoffs and defeating the Czech Republic, the national team became one of the main contenders for gold, but in the semifinals it was completely defeated by the United States, and in the end took only third place. This year, the Swedes are much stronger, as all the NHL stars have joined them, and with such a squad, the national team will definitely not leave any chances to obvious outsiders.

For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, Italy is hosting the tournament, but this does absolutely nothing to increase the chances of success. The national team remains one of the weakest in the top division, so you shouldn't expect a sensation this year either. The team does not have a single NHL player in its squad, and given the nature of the tournament, it is quite possible to expect a complete failure. It is also worth considering the fact that Italians qualified for the Olympics only due to the fact that it takes place in their homeland. It is already safe to say that Italy will not be able to even get close to the playoff zone.
