3 Wins In 5 Games For Slovakia
Slovakia enter this bronze medal match looking to rebound from a blowout defeat at the hands of the United States.
The Slovakians made a sensational start to the tournament as they knocked off Finland in the opening group game, 4-1.
They backed that up with a 3-2 victory over Italy, meaning their 5-3 defeat to Sweden did not force them into a playoff to make the knockout stage.
Slovakia then made convincing work of their quarter-final tie as they opened up a four-goal lead and never looked back to beat Germany 6-2.
However, the Slovakians’ bid for gold came to a shuddering halt in the semi-finals, as they were soundly beaten 6-2 by the United States.
Finland Have Lost 2 Of Their 5 Games
Finland go into this game having pushed Canada to the absolute limit in a semi-final defeat on Friday.
The Finns made a nightmare start as they dropped their opening game to Slovakia, 4-1, but they rebounded quickly with back-to-back wins to reach the knockout stage.
They got off the mark with a 4-1 victory over Sweden, and then followed that up with an 11-0 blowout of Italy to advance.
Finland’s quarter-final outing was much more complicated as they had to fight back from two goals down to beat Switzerland 3-2 in overtime.
The Finns then surrendered a two-goal lead of their own in the semi-finals, as they gave up a goal with 35 seconds remaining to lose 3-2 to Canada.
Verdict
Finland blew their chance at a major upset in the semi-finals, but they will have added incentive to bounce back here.
The Finns owe the Slovakians for the surprise defeat in their opening game, and we expect them to get their revenge to leave with the bronze.
