Command Analysis

Canada

Canada played well at the group stage of the World Championship and qualified for the playoffs from the 3rd line in Group A. They suffered only two defeats, to Switzerland (3:6) and Denmark (2:3). The quarterfinal game against Sweden was also very tough. Canada were losing 0:3 before the third period, but they managed to level the score and then netted a winning goal in overtime.

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic delivered quality performance at the group stage. The Czechs lost to Sweden and Finland, but defeated all of their other opponents. In the first knockout round, the Czechs crushed Germany with a score of 4:1. Forwards Cervenka and Krejci had a phenomenal game and scored three points each.

We expect this to be a high-scoring game. Both sides play an open attacking brand of hockey; Canada have a very powerful attacking line, and the Czechs also have great performers. We suggest taking the over.
