LiontipsFinland - Czech Republic. Betting Tip (cf 1.72) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
For six rounds, Finland went without losing points and claimed the first place in the group. In the final match, Antti Pennanen's team lost to Switzerland (2:4) and finished in second place. In each match, the national team was pleased with a bright effective offensive game, scoring 31 goals. A convincing 6-2 victory over the USA deserves special attention. And the Swiss had a good chance of winning, because after two periods the score on the scoreboard was 2:2.
The Czech Republic left a mixed impression in the group stage. The national team lost points in matches with not the most formidable opponents, Slovenia (2:3, OT) and Norway (1:4). In the final match in the group, Radim Rulik's team lost to Canada (2:3), we can say that they did not pass the real test of strength. As a result, the Czechs took third place in Group B, passing ahead of Canada and Norway.

Tip and bets
Finland deservedly plays the role of the favorite among the bookmakers in this quarterfinal. Antti Pennanen's team, unlike their upcoming opponent, played more confidently in the group, were defeated only by Switzerland, and performed well in attack. The Czech Republic was not stable, and if the failures with Slovenia and Norway can be attributed to underestimating their rivals, then the defeat by Canada demonstrated that at the moment the Czechs are not ready for real strength tests. We're betting on the favorite in this pair.
Our betting tip is for the Czech Republic to win with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.72
