THE PREDICTION
Czech Republic held their nerve when it mattered most as they booked
their spot in the quarter-finals with a crucial win over Denmark. A
shootout was needed to separate the teams but with the Czechs
prevailing, they made it four consecutive victories to complete their
superb turnaround in form having started the tournament with
back-to-back losses. They will now look to overhaul opponents Slovakia
to secure a stronger position in the top four of Group A but the Slovaks
will be keen to end their group campaign on a high too after losing two
of their last three. They were defeated by Sweden last time out which
saw them surrender their place at the top of the group as a result and
they could be in for further woe here with Czech Republic able to extend
their winning streak.
