Czechia – Switzerland

Czechia won 5–3 against Sweden in this tournament, but also lost to the weaker Slovaks 0–1 and to Finland 1–4. Against Sweden, almost everything went in for them. Against Slovakia, they had only 25:16 in shots, and from what I saw of the game, it was evenly matched. For Czechia, this will already be their 4th game in 4 days. For Switzerland, it's only their 3rd game because they didn’t play the first one due to their luggage not arriving. They beat Slovakia 5–3, but had the game under control the whole time and were clearly the better team; Slovakia scored two random goals in the last 3 minutes. Shots were 38:20. Yesterday, Switzerland had an unlucky game against Finland, where the Finns scored with almost every shot and won 6–0. Shots from Switzerland’s perspective were 28:18.

To me, this looks like it should be an even game, and with odds over 2 on Switzerland not to lose, I have to take that bet.
