Our tip: Färjestad – Sparta: 1

21.01.2025 19:00

The first semi-final of the Champions League ended in Prague with the Swedish club winning 6:2, which puts Färjestad practically in the final. Sparta would have to win the rematch by five goals, which is almost impossible given the strength of the Nordic team.

The home team is in a tug-of-war for first place in the SHL with Brynäs, who they are currently only two points behind. The club from Karlstad currently boasts good form, winning six of their last seven competitive games (league + LM) in normal time and losing only once.

In the first mutual duel, Sparta were especially successful in the second line, which was virtually unstoppable, especially Oscar Steen, who was still playing for the Boston Bruins last year. Steen is also one of the most productive players in the Champions League, with 17 points already.

In the first game, cannon player David Tomášek was missing due to injury and should be ready for today’s game, one of the most productive players in the Swedish league will have increased motivation against his former team.

The Prague team can count on David Němeček for a change, who also returned from injury, but that is one of the few positives. The players are not naive and know that a small miracle would have to happen for them to have a chance to turn it around (long power play, quick opening goals, etc…). Sparta is going to Sweden to fight for a good result, which can be any win, but if the game is not ideal, the performance can go down.

What to bet on:

The Swedish team was much better and more accurate in the first game, the technical skills of the players were much higher. Now they will have Tomášek, so the ticket is number one.

Trust:

8/10
