Canada - Sweden. Betting Tip (cf 1.66) and bets on the World Cup match

It's safe to say that Canada completely failed the last World Cup. The national team brought a close-to-ideal squad full of NHL stars to the tournament, but in the quarterfinals of the playoffs it suffered an unexpected defeat from the obvious outsider Denmark and finished in fifth place.

The Leafs were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans at the Olympic Games, where they also presented the strongest squad and reached the finals, but it was a shame they lost to the USA in overtime (1:2). This time, the national team will be represented mainly by young hockey players, but it also cannot do without NHL stars. In the attack, it is impossible not to mention the forwards Celebrini, Scheifli and, of course, Crosby. On defense, Reilly and Demelo, as well as Bouchard, stand out with their experience. The Canadians' weak spot remains the goalie line.

Sweden, on the contrary, demonstrated very high-quality hockey at the World Cup last year and only lost to the future gold winner of the USA in the semifinals, and then left Denmark no chance in the match for third place. At the Olympic Games, the Swedes stumbled over the Americans already in the quarterfinals, where they were very close to victory, but still it was a shame they lost in overtime.

The national team has brought a very good squad to this tournament. In particular, of course, it is worth noting Sweden's strong side — defense. Leader Ekholm, with the support of the very experienced Expan-Larson and the speedy Brennstrom, already make up a very formidable force, which will be as unpleasant as possible to play against. However, it was not without its weaknesses. Just like Canada, the Swedes do not have a strong goaltending line.
