Switzerland vs Sweden prediction

Whilst Sweden may have finished fourth-place in Group B, they are not to be underestimated here. With the likes of Anton Frondell and Ivar Stenberg within their ranks, the Swedes boast more than enough quality within their forwards to really put Switzerland under significant pressure. This is a Swiss team who coasted through the group stage with a perfect record of seven wins and 21 points. But all of a sudden, they need to lock back in as knockout hockey brings with it no second chances.

However, it cannot be ignored just how impressive Switzerland have looked across the tournament so far. A whopping 39 goals scored and only seven conceded speaks for itself. Throw home advantage into the mix and all the ingredients are there for them to make a big push towards winning their first ever IIHF World Championship. Back them to take another step here by defeating Sweden.
