The “tv3.lv” portal predicts: Bronze medals will have to be replaced with wooden ones

Also last year, the portal “tv3.lv” made a prediction before the tournament and it was correct – the Latvian national team managed to achieve a historic success, winning bronze awards.

The first match of the tournament will be played against Poland select As usual, the beginning of the game will be nervous and our hockey players will score the first goal only in the second third. In the end, a happy victory will be won with the result 4:1. Also the game against French it will not be easy for the national team, because for the first time in the championship they will have to play back. In the third quarter, things will be sorted out and the desired victory will be won – 4:3.

Destroyed last year Kazakhstan this year, they will show us not only their teeth, but they will cause the first loss in the tournament – 2:4. Not the most successful game for Merzlikin. After the loss, they will face the next day Germany. Although we will not be favourites, the game will go according to our plan and a dry victory will be won – 3:0. Gudlevski introduces himself as the first goalkeeper.

Will face after rest Swedish hockey players, who will be very motivated to take revenge for last year, when the Latvian team won the quarter-finals – 3:1.

This time they will succeed and both Merzļikins and Gudļevskis will be in goal for Latvia. A good blow from “Three Crowns” – 2:7. As it is already written in the “Latvijas sports history pages”, after a heavy loss our hockey players tend to recover and this time it happens in a match against Slovakia. Convincing victory with a score of 5:1.

Two goals for Harald Egle. The last match of the subgroup United States is played until overtime, in which the Yankees tear our defense to pieces and get revenge for last year – 3-4.

Latvia ranks 3rd in subgroup B, but will face in the quarter-finals Swiss selection. In a super-exciting match, the hockey players coached by Vītoliņš are superior and for the second year in a row we enter the semi-finals – 3:2.

They face each other in the semi-finals Canadian a team that we traditionally cannot beat. Even though we scored first, the continuation of the match fails and we will have to play the bronze match again – 2:6.

In the bronze match, we face a well-known United States a team that beat Finland in the quarter-finals but lost badly to Sweden in the semi-finals. Although unmotivated, the NHL hockey players are also NHL hockey players in Africa, and in a difficult match they lost 2:4, which only means that they will have to go to Latvia with wooden medals instead of bronze medals.
