USA U20
The USA were the main favorites in Group B and fully confirmed their status. At the start of the championship, the team met with Germany and easily coped with the opponent (5:1). Further, the states did not leave any chances for the victory of Switzerland and Austria at all, defeating the outsiders with a score of 7:1 and 7:0, respectively.
The Americans met serious resistance only from Sweden, and then they allowed the Swedes to score the first goal only at the end of the match, beating the opponent with a final score of 3:2.
Czech Republic U20
The Czech Republic confidently began its performance in the championship, defeating far from the most serious opponent in the face of Slovakia (5:4). Achieving a successful result for the team turned out to be a serious task, mainly due to the poor performance in defense. Then the team rather unexpectedly imposed a serious fight on Finland and managed to earn one point, losing in a shootout (3:4).
A further defeat from Canada was quite predictable, but the Czechs obviously did not plan to concede to Latvia. Again, the team showed a terrible game in defense, which led to another defeat (2:5).
Hockey USA – Czech Republic forecast
As we have already noted, the Czech Republic showed a terrible game in defense in the group stage, which was the main reason for the defeats. Indeed, the team was not able to establish a game in defense, allowing any opponents to realize dangerous moments in attack over and over again. The United States is the team that is able to take advantage of the weak point of the Czechs and defeat them.
Our prediction – USA win with a handicap (-3)
Given the uncertain performance of the Czech Republic and its failures in defense, it is quite possible to expect a productive game. The USA has a serious attacking potential, which was realized throughout the entire group stage. Now the Americans have picked up the pace and are ready to continue to smash their opponents.
The second prediction – total over 6.5 goals for 1.81
