Sweden (5th seed) and Slovakia (10th seed) will meet in their final group-stage game at the IIHF Championship on Tuesday afternoon. Our Boys have only lost one game by 2+ goals, and our prediction is that they will keep this match against Tre Kronor close as well.
Sweden have endured a difficult World Championship campaign. They are in fifth place, one point outside the top four, meaning they need a win here to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
Tre Kronor were defeated 3-2 by Norway in their last match, following back-to-back victories against Italy and Slovenia. They have scored 23 goals in the competition and conceded 14.
The Swedes have split their last 10 matches in all competitions, five wins and five defeats. They have won each of their last five matches against this opponent.
Meanwhile, Slovakia have pulled off a few surprises in the competition and head into their final game of the group stage on 11 points, two below second-placed Czech Republic.
Our Boys won their first four games at the World Championships before losing to the Czechs and Canada in their last two. They have scored 19 goals and conceded 15 to date.
Slovakia are 6-4 in their last 10 games. They last faced this opponent at the Olympic Games in February and lost by two goals (5-3).

Our Sweden vs Slovakia Prediction
Sweden have been somewhat disappointing in this year’s World Championships, and after their loss to Norway over the weekend, their quarter-final hopes now depend on the result in this match.
Slovakia, on the other hand, have been one of the surprise packages in this tournament, and have got themselves in a good position to progress. They have not fared well against this opponent in the past, but given their form in this competition, we feel they will keep this match close. Our Sweden vs Slovakia prediction is Slovakia +2.5.
