Czechia vs Kazakhstan prediction
Having accrued just one win from four games, Kazakhstan are in severe danger of getting knocked out of quarter-final contention. They’ve desperately struggled from an offensive point of view and their record of six points scored is the lowest total of any team in Group B. It’s 14 less points than what has been managed by opponents Czechia, who are in a much stronger position.
Victory for Czechia in regulation would take them up to 14 points and top of the table at least temporarily. That should serve as ample motivation from their point of view as they aim to keep their unbeaten group stage record alive in this competition. Backing Czechia to wind up too strong for Kazakhstan is a play well worth making.
