THE PREDICTION

Japan and Czech Republic both suffered their first losses of the Winter Olympics in their latest matches and will be keen to bounce straight back. The pair are vying for top spot in Group B and both are capable of achieving that feat with little to separate the two. Japan were agonisingly beaten by China in a shootout last time out while the Czechs were edged by Denmark and with both showing plenty in defeat, this is a very tough match to call. With that in mind, it should be an entertaining, competitive affair and overtime could well be needed to determine a winner.
