THE PREDICTION

After winning back-to-back games to begin the tournament, Switzerland were annihilated by Sweden in a result they will look to quickly overcome as they take on Slovakia. The Swedes were able to put seven goals past them without reply in a one-sided shutout but with Slovakia winning all three of their games so far, it will not be an easy task to respond. The Slovaks shocked Russia in their most recent contest and with confidence flowing following that success, they look the pick with a +1.5 start.
