Switzerland vs Finland Prediction and Betting Tips (15.12.2024)

Command Analysis

Switzerland

Current form

The finalist of the last World Championship is not playing at its best in November. First, Patrick Fischer team played rather poorly in Finland and only barely beat the Swedes (4:3, B), losing two other matches. At the home stage, the Swiss team is playing very poorly. After a crushing defeat to Tre Kronor (1:4), the "crusaders" were unable to score against the Czech Republic and please their fans with some bright hockey.

The hosts still have only one goal, which the Swiss squeezed out of themselves in the opening match against the Swedes. Dario Simion from the local Zug became its author, despite the fact that the roster includes many players who played in the NHL.

Interesting trends for betting

On average, Switzerland receives 9.8 minutes of penalty time per match
The team concedes an average of 3.4 goals per match

Finland

Current form

The Finnish national team won the Karjala Cup last week, winning all three games with the support of the home crowd. Antti Pennanen men failed to cope with the Czech defense in the first match in Switzerland (1:3), scoring only one goal. At the same time, this is the only goal conceded by the "red-blues" so far. Before the meeting with the hosts, Jere Sallinen team defeated the Swedes, not allowing a goal into their own net.

Three Suomi players scored two points in the first two matches of the stage. Lauri Pajuniemi (0+2), Patrik Puistola (0+2) and Antti Suomela made a big contribution to their team results in Fribourg.

Tip and bets

1.6Finland wins the match

Switzerland is not showing the level of play that fans of the national team expect from their favorites. Patrick Fischer charges failed in Finland and look very pale at the home stage. The Finns, on the other hand, defeated the Swedes and played well in the match against the Czechs, who are now clearly the strongest team in the quartet. We think that motivation will not help the hosts achieve success. We offer a bet on the victory of the guests, taking into account overtime and shootouts.

Our prediction is Finland victory in the match at 1.60

1.77Finland IT more than 2.5 goals

Bet on individual total

Finland plays well in attack and failed to score at least three times in only one of the previous four games. Switzerland concedes a lot and has not played a reliable defense in the last two weeks. We believe that the visitors will be able to score at least three accurate hits.

Forecast - Finland individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.77

Bet on total

Patrick Fischer men will go for broke, because they need to somehow rehabilitate themselves in front of the stands. The Finns should take advantage of this and show the productive hockey that they often demonstrate within the Euro Hockey Tour. In our opinion, the teams will be able to score at least five goals between them.

Forecast - total over 4.5 goals for 1.70
