Match Preview
The chances of reaching the quarterfinals directly are minimal for both teams, so there is little reason for either side to play cautiously. An open and entertaining clash looks likely here, making over 5.5 goals a value bet.
Switzerland Had Mixed Appearances So Far
Switzerland’s hopes of advancing directly to the quarterfinals have been reduced to a minimum. They currently sit second in Group A with three points after two rounds.
They opened the tournament with a strong 4-0 statement win over France, with Timo Meier scoring twice, while Janis Moser added one goal and one assist.
However, the Red Crosses were then heavily beaten by Canada 5-1, with Pius Suter scoring a consolation goal on the power play in the first period.
Czechs Were Also Dismantled by Canada
The Czech Republic find themselves in a similar position, needing a big win in the final round to challenge for the best second-placed spot, although they are likely heading toward the Round of 16.
They were never close to causing an upset in their Olympics 2026 opener, suffering a comfortable 5-0 defeat against gold medal contenders Canada. Goaltender Lukas Dostal made 31 saves, but his overall display was underwhelming, ending with an 86% save percentage.
The Czechs picked up their only win in the second round against underdogs France, edging a 6-3 victory but having to work hard for it after Les Bleus led 3-2 after 26 minutes. Radek Faksa and Filip Hronek registered two assists each.
Verdict
These two sides met in a friendly match back in December, where the Czech Republic claimed a 5-3 win. With little at stake in terms of direct qualification, another high-scoring and entertaining contest in Milano looks very likely.
