Sweden have won their last 3 matches against the Czech Republic

Head to Head

Sweden have a 60-45 advantage against Czech Republic in 105 matches.

They last met earlier this month, the game being won by Sweden 2-0.

Sweden Form

It required overtime action, but the Swedes defeated their Scandinavian rivals Finland 2-1 in the quarterfinals, Joel Eriksson scoring the winning goal.

Sweden were the only team in the tournament to collect the maximum of 21 points in the group stages. They’ve done it with an impressive goal difference of 35-9.

The Swedes wrapped up the first phase with a commanding 6-1 victory against another quarterfinal participant Slovakia.

They were also victorious against France 3-1, Latvia 7-2, Kazakhstan 3-1, Germany 6-1, Poland 5-1 and USA 5-2.

Czech Republic Form

The Czech Republic booked their place in the quarter-finals by winning five of their seven group games.

The Czechs, who bowed out in the quarter-finals a year ago, pulled off an early upset as they beat Finland in their opening game.

They backed that up with a 6-3 victory over Norway, before tasting defeat for the first time as they were beaten 2-1 by Switzerland.

The Czech Republic responded to beat Denmark 7-4, Austria 4-0 and Great Britain 4-1, and that was enough to set up this rematch from last year’s quarter-finals.

The Czechs were tagged as underdogs against the USA but won the encounter 1-0 with Pavel Zacha scoring the only goal.

Verdict

Sweden v Czech Republic

Sweden were victorious in their last three head to head meetings against the Czechs. I will back the Scandinavian side to keep the momentum and beat the tournament hosts.

Sweden Win
