Today I have prepared for you my first match from the upcoming World Championship in Sweden/Denmark between Latvia and France.

For me, we can expect Lotys to play their classic again, unpleasant hockey for the tournament favorites and dominance with weaker teams. Their selection is half from the Czech extraliga, so pretty quality names. In preparation, I would say they are playing their average.

France on the other hand, who have no reinforcements and no big names this year, and that will show in the games. Already now it shows in the preparation, when they play completely tragic, for example they got 8:1 from Slovakia in the last game and it could have been much more, only in the 3rd quarter they have slowed down a lot.

Their selection is purely from their league, which is a very mediocre competition and I think they will have a very hard time this year.

I like the odds of Latvia winning 1,7 and I have to play it for two units.

Fair odds I have 1,45
