Czechia vs Switzerland prediction

Czechia wound up finishing second-place in Group B after winning three games, one of which was won in overtime but losing against eventual group winners Canada. Meanwhile, Switzerland recovered from a poor start to finish third in Group A, registering back-to-back wins over Germany and Slovakia respectively.

The difference between these two nations in what should be a tight encounter is likely to be the attacking firepower of Czechia, which on paper appears to be superior compared to their opponents. Czechia average four and a half points per game across the tournament so far and have scored eight more goals than the Swiss. Backing them to overwhelm Switzerland offensively and come out on top has to be favoured.
