Russian team

Valery Bragin invited almost everyone to the team best hockey players countries under 20 years of age. 22 hockey players were included in the application, including Artyom Galimov, Klim Kostin and Pavel Shen. At first, the head coach invited 21 hockey players, but literally at the last moment, defender Savely Olshansky announced. It was thanks to Saveliy’s efforts that the Russian team defeated the Canadians in the November Super Series. The main team was missing literally two players - Ivan Chekhovich and Andrey Svechnikov. Two super-forwards, shining to the fullest in the National Hockey League farm. Svechnikov periodically appears in Carolina’s first line this season, and only the injury received right before the start of the World Cup did not allow the talented striker to help his partners.

The Russian national team opened the World Cup with a match against the Danish national team, with whom the Russians had last years A special relationship develops. But for Russia this was only the first game at the World Cup, but the Danes managed to play the Canadians the day before. For them, the first pancake came out lumpy - a defeat with an amazing result, even by hockey standards, of 0:14. Of course, the Scandinavians were full of determination and eager to rehabilitate themselves in front of the few fans. But even in the match against Russia, defeat awaited them - a 0:4 defeat. Bragin’s team traditionally finds it difficult to fit into major competitions. On the one hand, this is good - the potential of the national team is completely unknown to the opponents, but on the other hand, the match against the weak Danes indicated some problems in the Russians' play. However, even in 2015, the Russian youth hockey team lost to the Danes 0:2 after the first period - and this was also the first game of the World Cup.

Team Canada

Canadians have one of the strongest youth teams at the moment. There are truly talented guys here who demonstrated their spirit in the very first match - they beat the Danish national team with a score of 14:0. But theoretically, the Canadians could appear in an even more formidable guise in front of their rivals - the “Wedges” do not have Alex Formenton, Gabe Vilardi and Robert Thomas in their lineup. However, even without these performers, the World Cup hosts are among the favorites for the final victory. The Canadians move on the ice simply phenomenally, and while the Russian team beat the Danes with difficulty, the Wedges did the same with an incredible handicap. Confident movement, the highest percentage of power plays - all this is typical of today's Canadian U20 team.

Odds 1x2 from(at 29/12 02:14)

• Russia will win – 4.42 (P 1 = 20.7%)
• Draw – 5.29 (P x = 17.3%)
• Canada will win – 1.47 (P 2 = 62.1%)
• Margin – 9.56%

Match forecast

Already the second match of the Canadian national team at the World Cup showed that it is still possible to play with the “wedges” on equal terms, no matter their condition. The match against the Swiss national team turned out to be very difficult for them - they won with a minimal difference of 3:2. At the same time, bookmakers predicted a defeat for the “watchmakers” comparable to that suffered by the Danes. But only 3:2 and a clear idea for the Russian team of how to play with the “wedges”. Bookmakers give preference to upcoming game namely the Canadian team - you can bet on their victory at odds of 1.47, and it fell from 1.67. A quote of 4.42 was offered for the victory of Bragin's squad. The Russian national team starts hard at almost every World Championship and the match against Denmark turned out to be difficult. The Canadians are playing confidently so far due to the high playing standards of their main players - Frost and Glass. Four hockey players of this team are at the top of the list of top scorers. All this suggests that the level of the “wedges” is still slightly higher than that of other competitors.

On Sunday, December 30 at 04:00 Moscow time, the next match of the World Youth Championship will take place in Vancouver, where the tournament hosts, the Canadian team, will host the Czech team. Both teams started the tournament with victories, but if the Czech Republic big problems coped with the resistance of the Swiss team only in overtime, then the Canadians swept the Danish team off the court - 14:0. We will be able to find out after the end of this match whether the Czechs were able to improve the problematic defensive line and the discipline that was limping on both legs in the team these days, and whether they will be able to give the Canadian national team a worthy welcome.

Odds 1x2 from(at 28/12 03:40)

• Draw – 10.0 (P x = 9.2%)
• Margin – 9.24%

Canada U20

The hosts and one of the main favorites of the World Cup. Without Rasmussen, Vilardi and Robert Thomas missing this tournament due to injury, the Canadians are still a serious threat to any opponent. Team Canada head coach Tim Hunter, to the surprise of many experts, opted for destruction. It will be interesting to see this version of Canada's game. All the players in the national team are well trained tactically, but who will bring zest to the game of this team. Of the creative players, we can only mention Fross, Glass, Smith and Lafreniere. Canada began its first match at the tournament by mocking the Danish national team - 14:0. It is, of course, difficult to draw conclusions from this game. After the first period, the Canadians led with a score of 3:0, and in the second period even Canadian goalkeeper Michael DiPietro earned a point for an assist. The 14:0 score is remarkable, but it’s worth talking more about the weakness of the Danes than about the strength of the Canadians. It is worth remembering that in the test matches before the championship, the Canadians experienced difficulties in the match with Switzerland (5:3), and completely lost to the Finns (2:5).

Czech Republic U20

The Czech national team, unlike previous championships, gathered almost all the strongest young hockey players, with the exception of Chytil, whom his Rangers club decided not to let go to Vancouver. But the Czechs have at least two good links. One combination, by youth standards, can be considered top - Kaut/Lauko - Necas - Zadina. There are certain problems in defense, which showed up in the first match with Switzerland, but they have a very reliable goalkeeper - Shkarek. In the first match of the tournament with the Swiss, the Czech team started the match very well, but then, due to the gross mistakes of the defense and very large number the deletions barely made it into overtime. In extra time, the team pulled itself together and defeated the opponent. The goals were scored by Kaut (he also created the second goal) and Kvasnicka. If the Czechs are not afraid of the seemingly monster destroyers from the Canadian team even before the start of the match, then they have a chance to impose their hockey on the hosts.

Odds 1x2 from(at 28/12 03:40)

• Canada U-20 will win – 1.10 (P 1 = 83.2%)
• Draw – 10.0 (P x = 9.2%)
• Czech Republic U-20 will win – 12.0 (P 2 = 7.6%)
• Margin – 9.24%

Match forecast

Of course, according to bookmaker companies, the Canadian team is considered the favorite of the match. " " estimates her chances of winning in regular time at odds of 1.16. A draw is offered for 9.04 and a victory for the Czech team - 8.76. Canadians are the favorites not only of this meeting, but of the entire youth championship. However, the Czech national team has many skilled players who will be able to compete with the hosts in this match. Therefore, I think it is possible to make the following prediction for this match:

• victory of the Czech Republic U20 with a handicap of +3.5 - with odds from Winline - 1.63
