“Wings of the Soviets” – “Pari NN”. Osinkin will give a gift to Ignashevich
Tre Krunur has discovered the formula for success at the 2024 World Cup. They are still invincible. The team confidently and smoothly passed the group stage, finishing in first place with the maximum points – 21. The Swedes have a very strong team, consisting of famous NHL hockey players.
Filip Gustavsson was chosen as the main goalkeeper, but was also replaced several times by Samuel Ersson. Thanks to the efforts of reliable goalkeepers and defenders, the Swedish team in the group stage conceded only nine goals, the best result. Additionally, Tre Krunur demonstrated great attacking skills, scoring 35 goals in seven games.
In the quarterfinals the Swedes played against the Finns. The Scandinavian derby is always very difficult and close, even despite Sweden’s perfect game during the group stage and the Lions’ very weak performances. And so it happened. In regular time the teams tied 1:1, but in extra time Finland made a mistake and was sent off. Joel Eriksson Ek took advantage of this, converted the majority and secured the victory for the team.
The Czech Republic arouses nothing but admiration. Despite the very poor results during the Eurotour, the host of the 2024 World Cup is showing incredible hockey. Radim Rulik’s team took third place in Group A, six points ahead of Finland and three points behind first-place Canada.
The blue and white deserved the championship:
“Krasnodar” – “Dynamo”. 48 years without gold! The time has come for the blue and white
The Czechs did not suffer any defeat in regulation time. They lost in the penalty shootout to Switzerland (1:2 B) and in extra time to Canada (3:4 extra time). Radim Rulik’s team was already in its prime and was recently joined by David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha. These two provided invaluable contributions to the attack.
It was Zaha who became the main heroine of the World Cup quarterfinal match against the United States. The Americans were considered the favorites because they brought an incredibly powerful lineup. The Ice Yankees had 36 shots on goal, but Lukasz Dostal stood his ground and stopped every shot. Goudreau, Baldy and Tkachuk were helpless.
In the second half, Pavel Zaha took advantage of the numerical advantage and, after assists from Roman Cervenok and David Spacek, scored the only goal, which, respectively, became the goal of the 1-0 victory. Therefore, even a team as powerful as Sweden should not underestimate the Czechs, even in the home stands.
In 2024, Tre Krunur and the Czechs met twice. The Swedes won both 4-1 and 2-0. What you definitely shouldn’t expect from this match are a lot of goals. Not only are teams constantly focused on defense, but they will also be under pressure to produce results. Nobody wants to lose a step to reach the final. This is very disappointing. We offer a bet on a total of under 4.5 goals for 2.02.
Prediction and bets for the match Sweden – Czech Republic May 25, 2024
Tre Krunur defeated the Finns in the quarterfinals (2-1 overtime), and the Czechs won by a minimal score against the United States (1-0). These teams know a lot about defense and are not going to expose their backs and risk missing a goal that could be fatal. In this match, victory can really be achieved with just one goal. Therefore, the Swedes and Czechs will be careful and our forecast is that the total will be less than 4.5 goals.
Tender: total less than 4.5 goals for 2.02.
