The Swiss junior team started the World Championship with an expected defeat to the Czech Republic (1:5). The score in that match could not have been so crushing, but the Swiss failed to capitalize on too many opportunities. In the second round, they already had an opponent of a similar class, the Slovakian team. There was an equal fight on the ice, everything was going to the fact that the opponents would not be able to identify the strongest in regular time, but the Slovaks scored the decisive goal three minutes before the final siren and won with a score of 2:1.

1.53Tip and bets
Switzerland did not score a single point in the first two rounds, but the team avoided failures, played quite reliably in defense, and was largely unlucky with the implementation. Sweden has an advantage in class, but is unlikely to be ready to crush such an organized opponent. In November of this year, the opponents played each other in a friendly match, and then the Swiss turned out to be stronger in the shootout, we think that this time they will not lose with a difference of more than three goals.
Our prediction is a victory for Switzerland with a handicap of (+3.5) goals at odds of 1.72
Bet on total
We have two fairly pragmatic teams in front of us, who rarely take unjustified risks, relying on defense first and foremost. Don't expect more than six goals scored in this match.
The second bet is total under seven goals with odds of 1.77
Third period bet
In two of the last three head-to-head encounters, Switzerland has not lost to the Swedes in the third period. We expect the same scenario to unfold on the ice this time around.
Prediction: Switzerland will not lose in the third period with a coefficient of 2.34
