FREE ICE HOCKEY BETTING TIP: Finland vs USA

Details:

Finland is the main favorite to win the gold medal at the World Championship as they won the Olympic tournament earlier this year and are the hosts of the championship.

They started pretty well winning the two games so far in Group B. They demolished neighboring Norway by 5-0 and then defeated Latvia by 2-1 with a power-play goal in the last two minutes.

The USA also started well winning 4-1 against Latvia in the opening round and 3-2 against Austria in overtime.

Key facts

• Finland has won 2 of the last 5 games
• USA have won 3 of the last 5 games
• Finland has won 3 of the last 5 games against USA

Both teams came into the tournament hoping to win a medal and they may meet again in the elimination phase. Finland is the favorite in this match because of the home-court advantage and recent head-to-head result. But from what we saw from Finland in the game against Latvia, they are not in their best form, pretty slow on the offense and will have trouble scoring against the agile USA defense. The Americans are ready for the challenge as this game would probably decide which team will finish the group stage on top. This will be a tough game with not many goals in which team USA will survive undefeated in the regulation.
