Our tip: Finland – Great Britain: Lehtonen Mikko Goal +0,5

12.05.2024 12:20

Finland lost 0:1 to the Czech Republic in the opening game of the Ice Hockey World Championship after a shootout and would like to boost its confidence, especially on the offensive end. The Finns, who traditionally rely on a good defensive performance, nevertheless have enough players in their ranks who have shooting qualities, even among the defenders.

We are talking in particular about Mikko Lehtonen, who fired five times at Lukas Dostal against the Czech team, but did not enjoy the joy of scoring a goal. The thirty-year-old Finnish regular has scored at all four World Championships he has competed in and he certainly does not intend to stop doing so in Prague, where he and his team will take part in Group A.

The Swiss ZSC Lions defender will also be looking to pepper the Great Britain goal with his cannon shots from the blue line, as they put in a fierce performance against Canada but still lost 2:4. And if he is as prolific as he was against the Czech team, there is a high probability that some of the puck will find its way into the British cage.

What to bet on:

Finland, after their defeat to the Czech team, are looking to make amends in their next game and will throw everything they have at the Brits. The British will have all they can muster, including offensive-minded defenders like Mikko Lehtonen. The author of five shots against the Czech team has a great chance to score his eighth career World Cup goal.

Confidence:

6/10
