It might not seem like the best idea to bet on a team that lost the first two games by a total of 80 points but the odds are wrong here and this is at least a close game (the Czechs should even be favorites). All the tougher defeats the Czechs had this summer were to physically more superior opponents. More importantly, they were fast as well. Sweden are not that level. Besides, this is a generation that was in Divison B so far. Sweden can try and do something through defense and controlled game. They cannot do much in a fast-pace meeting. They took advantage of a bad day Germany had to get a rare win but their meeting with Greece proved they are not good enough for this level. The Czechs, on the other hand, stood up to Germany well, played a close game with France and Italy within this margin. Sweden, on the other hand, recorded bad defeats to Poland and lost to Iceland and Finland, who are not better than the Czechs. The first two rounds are not that important here and the Czechs knew that. That justifies their bad defeats. This game is a whole different thing and the Czechs will prove that they are better than Sweden. The safer option is the handicap as well as Sweden team under.
