Our pick: Latvia – USA: USA/4.5 goals

21.05.2024 16:20

Tuesday’s schedule will feature the last matches of the World Cup’s main groups. The United States and Latvia will face each other in Group B in Ostrava. It will be a game in which Latvia’s survival in the tournament is at stake. Only a three-point win will boost their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals. The second condition is that Slovakia does not gain a single point in the match against Sweden.

The Latvians had a chance to advance to the quarterfinals against Slovakia, which they beat in a shootout. But otherwise, the defending bronze medalists from last year’s championship cannot be satisfied with their performance at the tournament. They unnecessarily lost points to Poland and France, who they drew with in regulation time, and then suffered a 1:8 debacle with Germany. And because of that, they are in a position where the road to the quarter-finals is incredibly thorny.

Especially considering that Latvia will be facing the Americans. They came out swinging after a surprising loss to Slovakia, beating France 5-0, Poland 4-1 and Kazakhstan 10-1! Brady Tkachuk had a hat trick against the Kazakhs, Matt Boldy had six points (2+4) and Johnny Gaudreau had five points (1+4).

What to bet on:

Latvia will have to play an open game against the United States, which will be deadly for them. The Americans have an extremely productive offense, and a more open defense will cut through them like a knife through butter. Not only will the Americans prevail, but a higher number of goals scored can be expected.

Confidence:

8/10
