Finland vs Sweden prediction

Sweden certainly won’t have it their own way against Finland, who are likely still buoyant after getting the better of France 43 in overtime. But Sweden have outscored Finland by three points so far, not to mention conceding only two points compared to Finland’s four, underlining the Swedes’ excellent defence.

It’s that defence which is likely to prove the pillar of their performance here and with Sweden looking in such good form all across the ice, the sensible move would be backing them to defeat Finland is make it three wins from three.
