Denmark vs Sweden Prediction and Betting Tips (22.05.2021)

Command Analysis

Denmark

Denmark are holding to their position in the Top Division, and at the last World Championship, they finished sixth in their group. Reaching the playoffs is an almost impossible goal for the Danish team since the other contenders are much stronger. Denmarks' lineup is too weak to compete with the rest of their group. We can mention only Niklas Jensen from Jokerit, who is one of the top scorers in his club and probably the leader of the national team.

Heinz Ehlers' charges will most likely earn their points against Great Britain and France, which will allow them to stay in the Top Division.

Sweden

Sweden finished third in the group stage last time, and in the first game of the playoffs unexpectedly lost to Finland. This time, the Swedes have quite a weak squad, as many players remained overseas, but at the same time, such players as Marcus Sörensen, Adrian Kempe, and Victor Olofsson are in Riga, and they definitely will strengthen the attacking line of Sweden.

Tre Kronor have won the last two of the three World Championships, thus they are considered one of the favorites this year. Recently, during the Euro tour, Johan Garpenlöv's squad performed well, fighting off the Czech Republic (2: 3 OT) and winning over the Finns with a score of 3: 2.
