As part of the Hockey World Youth Championship match, the players of the Canadian and Finnish national teams will come face to face. Which side will win this match? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match
Canada U20
The Canadian national team is habitually good and is one of the main contenders to win the world youth championship. This is not surprising, because the team has incredible players representing the leading NHL clubs. Earlier in the group stage, the maple Leafs were able to beat Latvia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and now the next meeting is with a difficult Finland, which the team will also try to find justice and defeat in a face-to-face fight.
Finland U20
As for the Finnish squad, in recent years it has begun to show very solid results and fight for the highest positions. At the world youth championship, the team had difficulties only with the Czech Republic, where in a shootout "Suomi" still managed to win over their opponent – 4:3 B. In the next meeting, the Scandinavian guys defeated Slovakia with a result of 9:3. And it all started with a victory over Latvia with a crushing score of 6:1. In case of victory over the Maple Leafs today, the Finns will be able to win their group and get a more convenient opponent in the playoffs.
Statistics and figures:
- Canada is the favorite of the meeting;
- Canada has a 5-match winning streak in all tournaments;
- Finland has not lost in 13 matches in a row;

Forecast
I suggest that in this meeting we consider the bet on the victory of the Finnish national team with a handicap of 1.5 goals. After all, the Scandinavian team has a solid composition and performs great at the tournament. The quote for the Suomi handicap is very solid.
