Sweden vs Czechia prediction

Sweden come into this quarter-final on the back defeat after losing the first-place shootout against Canada to finish top of Group A. Czechia also lost their most recent group game, a 2-5 defeat at the hands of USA. This is set to be a battle between defence and offense, with Sweden having conceded just eight goals all tournament so far and Czechia scoring 35 times.

Expect a tight encounter over the course of three periods and goals could be tough to come by. But home advantage cannot be underestimated and neither can the array of quality players at Sweden’s disposal. Backing them to get the job done has to be considered.
