Sweden is considered the nominal favourite in this pairing, as the team was able to bring a more star-studded squad to the tournament, although the Czech Republic should never be underestimated at the World Championship, especially not to forget that the Czech Republic is the reigning world champion.
Both teams showed a bright game in the group stage - Czech Republic scored 35 goals in 7 games, Sweden scored 28. We expect this game to be bright, as the Czech Republic is prone to an aggressive style of play and may well have a goal extravaganza, but may also concede a lot.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 4.5" bet, odds 1.73
