Command Analysis

Belarus

Belarus so far were defeated in two games out of three. First, they lost to Slovakia (2:5) and then to the Czech Republic (2:3 OT), but then sensationally won against Sweden with a minimum score of 1:0. Definitely, the Belarusian national team is giving its best performance in all recent years. Last time they got relegated from the Top Division.

Yegor Sharangovich stands out from the Belarusian squad. The Devils player has already scored four points while sending two pucks in the opponents' goal himself. So far, it is difficult to say whether Mikhail Zakharov's team can get to the playoffs since they are yet to face off Switzerland and Russia.

Great Britain

Even before the start of the Championship, Great Britain were considered one of the main outsiders and could not seriously hope to reach the playoffs. The British already lost to Russia (1:7) and Slovakia (1:2). They put up a good fight against Denmark, but in the end, still lost 2: 3 in overtime.

Liam Kirk is the best player in the British national team, he has scored two goals and gave two assists already. But in general, Great Britain are not a scoring team, because they create minimum dangerous moments in the opponents' zone.

Our prediction is Great Britain to win with an Asian handicap (+3.5)
