Czechia vs Slovakia Prediction

Czechia’s beating of Kazakhstan ensured their place in the next round, with them having already recorded six points from six. But whilst they’ve been among the standout teams so far, underestimating Slovakia would be a big mistake. It’s safe to say that they are a far better unit than Kazakhstan and a narrow 1-2 victory over Switzerland proved that.

Slovakia put up a good fight against Sweden, even taking the lead in the first period and Czechia could well get caught cold in this match, especially as they can afford a drop in performance levels with them safely qualified. Therefore, it may wind up a shrewd move to back Slovakia here.
