As part of one of the matches of the World Hockey Championship, the players of the national teams of Switzerland and Slovakia will fight face to face. Which of the opponents will get three points in this confrontation? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
Switzerland
The Swiss team performs shockingly at the Ice Hockey World Championship in Finland. It is worth noting that the Alpine team, like many other national teams, held three meetings at the tournament. Fortunately for the fans of the nominal hosts, the Swiss won 3 victories, gaining the maximum number of tournament points. After defeating Italy (5:2), the White Cross team was able to defeat Denmark (6:0) and Kazakhstan (3:2). It should be noted that in all the meetings Switzerland had a solid advantage over its rivals, which was not always reflected on the scoreboard in the form of abandoned pucks.
Slovakia
The Slovak national ice hockey team, like other teams, has already played 3 games at the tournament. It is worth noting the fact that the "tricolor" won 1 victory at the start of the tournament, having managed to beat France with a score of 4:2. After that, the Slovaks lost 2 meetings in a row. The team was weaker than Germany (1:2), and also lost to Canada (1:5). Note that, unlike the opponent, Slovakia does not get into the playoff zone yet. The team is on the 5th line, 3 points behind the fourth place.
Statistics and figures:
- Switzerland is the favorite of the meeting;
- Switzerland has 3 wins in 5 matches;
- Slovakia lost 2 meetings in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of Switzerland.
Forecast
I believe that the Swiss national team will be able to defeat the opponent in this match. Our bet in this meeting will be in favor of the Alpinists. The quotation for this event is very solid, given the fact in what form the nominal owners are staying.
