Finland will take on Italy in their final Group B game in the Men’s Ice Hockey at the Winter Olympics. Before we make our prediction, let’s break down this contest. 

The Finns will have been very disappointed with their opening effort in the games, getting beaten 1-4 by Slovakia. They outshot their oppoennts but it was not enough to see them get close to getting the job done.

They took that frustration out on Sweden, running into a quick 2-0 lead on Friday morning before picking up a 4-1 win. That was a hugely impressive effort.

Italy have proven a tougher team to beat than most would have expected. Sweden took a long time to shake them off in their opening game and then they were able to really push Slovakia all the way on Friday, losing 2-3. 

This is another tough task for them but the home crowd at these games behind them has made them into more of a force and the crowd are going to have to play an important role again now.

Our Finland vs Italy Prediction

There have been more than enough chances in all four of their combined games so far to account for plenty more goals than have actually hit the back of the net. Finland were very impressive in putting four past Sweden and Italy have done well to net a pair against both Sweden and Slovakia to this point. This is a must win game for Finland to try and gain the highest possible finishing positon, but Italy have been playing well enough to make it difficult. Our Finland vs Italy prediction is Italy +3.5.

Italy +3.5
