Czechia vs USA prediction

USA will want to finish well in Group B in what has been a fairly decent tournament for them so far. Whilst they’ll have been disappointed to lose one game, they’ve won five including one in overtime and qualification for the quarter-finals has already been secured. Czechia will join them in the last eight, having won five from five.

Czechia defeated Switzerland in overtime and the USA will definitely be their toughest challenge since that victory. They may well take their foot off the gas slightly and when taking into account a hot American offense, backing USA may well be the way to go.
