If Sweden loses this game they are likely to finish 4th of the group and meet Finland in the QFs.

 

[Eye of Ra]

swiss win with 4-3

 

[Star Ocean]

If Sweden loses this game they are likely to finish 4th of the group and meet Finland in the QFs.

Then sweden avoid tussia in semis.

 

[EK47]

Sweden is stronger on paper but this could go either way.

 

[Lambo]

If Sweden loses this game they are likely to finish 4th of the group and meet Finland in the QFs.

And Finland lose voluntary in last game vs Germany(Avoid Sweden)..

 

[Czechboy]

Match of the day! 3-2... Just not sure who wins. Swedes are better team but the Swiss are amazing at exactly this kind of game.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Finally a match to look forward too

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Bratt is playing

 

[jonas2244]

Test for Switzerland to see how good their game works against good teams. It works against the weaker teams but this is a different story.

 

[MapleAce]

Is Nino playing today?

This should be good match. Two great teams, Switzerland has terrific teamwork and spirit. Sweden has fantastic individuals and this is the first real challenge to new stars, who just came in.

 

[jonas2244]

Nino will arrive on Monday, so no, he won't play today and tomorrow.

 

[VictorLustig]

Been some pretty entertaining games between these two countries in the past. Expecting a tight one.

 

[Star Ocean]

Bratt is playing

Source? He seems be healthy, but is he playing?

 

[BigBadBoar]

I expect one of the best games of the tournament thus far, a real high pace and gritty hockey.

 

[MikeShow]

Who is starting in net for Switzerland?

 

[JHB]

If Sweden loses this game they are likely to finish 4th of the group and meet Finland in the QFs.

Why not just win the remaining games and win the group? Sweden can beat any team so it doesn't matter who they play in the semi.

 

[swisdan]

Who is starting in net for Switzerland?

Nothing sure yet. Genoni is number 1. But Berra didn't allow goal yet. But i think Genoni should be in net.

 

[Star Ocean]

Does anyone in sweden know our lineup?

 

[Retroglyphs]

Sweden vs. Switzerland has become a close affair recently.
Team Switzerland takes the win with 3:2

 

[JHB]

Sweden vs. Switzerland is always a close affair.
Team Switzerland takes the win with 3:2

Not really. Has Switzerland even beat Sweden once ever?

 

[Retroglyphs]

Not really. Has Switzerland even beat Sweden once ever?

Always as in 2018, sry... so, NOW a close affair.

 

[jonas2244]

2013 in the opening game was the last win. But most games since then were pretty close, 3 went to OT or shootout. But Sweden could win all of them.

 

[Star Ocean]

2013 in the opening game was the last win. But most games since then were pretty close, 3 went to OT or shootout. But Sweden could win all of them.

2013 final 5-1 to sweden.

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, but if I remember correctly this game was 2-1 until 50th minute or something. I'd call that a close game, too.
