On February 5, a duel between the national teams of Canada and Finland will take place at the Olympic Games. What are the chances that the Finks will be able to escape from the defeat?
Canada
The Canadian national team dealt with the Swiss national team without any problems at the start of the tournament, beating it (12:1). The only thing that is alarming is seven removals from Canadians. If you look at the account, it seems that nothing serious, but objectively this is a reason to think about your aggression. It is the Canadian national team that is seen as one of the main favorites at the Olympics.
Finland
The Finnish national team, preparing for the Olympics, held five friendly matches. Twice the team met with its closest rival and lost to the Canadians (0:8 and 1:5). At the start of the Olympic Games, the Finns lost to the Americans (2:5). Considering that the Finnish national team got into Group A, where it will face matches with the national teams of Canada, the USA, Russia and Switzerland, it will be frankly difficult to count on reaching the playoffs.
Figures and statistics:
- In the last five face - to - face meetings , the Canadian national team won in regular time;
- Two of the last three defeats of the Finnish national team took place with a dry score;
- The Canadian national team has won the last 13 matches.
Forecast
The Canadian national team withdrew a lot in the opening match, but at the same time controlled the course of the match. We believe that in the match with the Finnish national team it is advisable to count on a productive meeting. The Finks managed to hit the American women's goal twice, throwing on target only twelve times. We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.75.
