Latvia – Finland: forecast for hockey. U20 World Championship
Forecast and bet on Latvia – Finland. On August 10, Latvia will begin its performance at the World Youth Championship, where in the first match it will meet with Finland. Whether there are chances at Latvians on a victory?
Latvia
In December last year, Latvia took part in the U20 IA World Championship, where they showed a confident game and, following the results of the group stage, took second place in the table, losing the lead to Belarus. Despite this, the team still managed to get to the World Youth Championship under 20, taking the place of Russia.
The last time you could watch the performances of the national team was in friendly matches. The team was defeated by Austria (2:4), after which it was rehabilitated by defeating Germany (3:1).
Finland
Finland has long established itself as one of the contenders for victory in the World Youth Championship. Last year, the team went through to the playoffs without any problems from second place in the table, losing only to Canada. True, the team failed to compete for the title at that time – in the semi-finals, the Finns again lost to the Canadians, after which they got the third place, defeating Russia (4:1).
Before the World Cup, the Finns had two friendly matches in which they barely defeated Sweden (2:1), and also easily beat the United States (5:2).
Latvia – Finland: forecast
There is no doubt that Finland will start its performance at the World Cup with a confident victory, as it is the favorite in the upcoming match and should not meet resistance from the opponent. Latvia does not look like a team capable of stopping the Finns, but the odds for Suomi to win are too low. For this reason, it is worth opting for an outsider with a large handicap.
Our prediction: Latvia will win with a handicap (+4.5) with odds of 1.90
Considering Finland’s serious attacking potential, one can expect a productive game in the upcoming match. Latvia, too, should not be left without abandoned goals, which will eventually lead to a productive match. So there is a great opportunity to bet on total more.
Second prediction – total “over 6 goals” for 1.65
