The Ice Hockey World Championship Group A has totally been dominated by Sweden and Canada, national teams which look like great contenders to lift the cup. In this matter, it’s worth noting that Sweden has already qualified for the quarterfinals, so next Saturday noon will also bring the opportunity to Canada to qualify as they’ll face Slovakia.
With that context in mind, it cannot be a surprise that Canada is considered as the absolute favorite to win that game not only because of their amazing performance, but also because Slovakia wasn’t able to compete against Sweden during their first game of the championship. Additionally, it must be noted that the Canadian squad currently is the best defensive in Group A, as they’ve only conceded 2 goals.
On Slovakia’s side, this team is expected to carry on competing for the fourth spot of the group with Latvia and Austria, so they must try to avoid conceding too many goals during this game to increase their chances of qualifying. In addition, it cannot be ignored that they’re the second worst defensive line on Group A, so they aren’t really expected to generate a big number of dangerous opportunities during this game.
