Finland vs Slovenia prediction

It’s been a campaign to forget so far for Slovenia. They’ve lost three from three, scoring just three points across that period, not to mention conceding an average of four points per game so far. That doesn’t bode well for them moving forwards, especially here against a very strong Finnish side who are trying to put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack outside of the top four.

Expect a fast start from Finland, who will more than likely be afforded plenty of puck control. They should create plenty more openings than Slovenia and it would be a huge surprise if Finland were outscored over the course of three periods, so back a Finnish victory.
