Bookmakers consider the Swedes to be the clear favorites, but in our opinion, the Czech Republic has no less chance of winning. The Czechs played their matches at the tournament no less confidently, and the last face-to-face matches between the rivals were tense, so we suggest betting on the underdog with a positive handicap.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Czech Republic for 1.85

Both teams have demonstrated extremely high efficiency at this World Championship and have already reached the 20-goal mark in three matches. The opponents will most likely not abandon their style of play in a face-to-face match. Most likely, we will see a large number of goals here.
