Japan - Estonia

World Championship Division 1B.
A decisive game for promotion to a higher division.
Yesterday both teams played, so the players will not be too fresh.
Lithuania's team is showing strong defense in the championship, but a very modest offense. Team results: 1:0, 5:0, 2:1, 1:1.
Yesterday in the important match, South Korea defeated the Estonians 4:1. The Estonians scored a goal in the first minutes, but then they couldn't do anything. I think Lithuania will also not do anything good today - South Korea's team is more experienced in all aspects.

Lithuania's national team has shown a strong defense in the championship, but a very modest offense. Team results: 1:0, 5:0, 2:1, 1:1.
Yesterday, in an important match, South Korea defeated the Estonians 4:1. The Estonians scored a goal in the first few minutes, but then were unable to do anything more. I think Lithuania will also not achieve much today - South Korea's team is stronger in all aspects.

I am waiting for the match to enter a higher division, so I am expecting a tough game from the first minute. If the team loses, we will try to catch up and equalize the score, leaving many gaps in defense. I am also expecting many substitutions in the last 2 minutes, as this is such an important match and we need at least a couple of goals to beat both teams. The Korean attack looks impressive. Lithuania also looks good, but somehow they struggle to score in the final stages, despite creating many chances. And our goalkeeper is not a robot, he can't always protect the goal in every match.

IB Division in Estonia. It's hard for me to believe that Lithuania will finish the tournament with just under goals. The team has many opportunities, but they are not being realized, only period by period. Goalkeeper L. Lubys is currently improving in the division, but there are still fifth games ahead against the strongest opponents, so it is likely that fatigue will set in and they will not be able to keep their goal dry. These decisive games, plus a one or two goal deficit, will put pressure on the opponents and may result in the goalkeeper being taken off at the end of the game.

The IB division. Crucial match, where anything can happen, but so far Koreans have left a better impression in this championship. They seem faster, more creative, with better execution at a higher level. Lithuania, on the other hand, has many problems in attack, struggling with creativity and execution, and today will definitely not be easy. The goalkeeper has done a lot in this championship, and the match against South Korea will be his biggest test. Overall, the Koreans, even though yesterday there were some doubts as they played against the underdogs, showed in the game against the Estonians that they are very well prepared, playing smart, knowing when to press, when to retreat, and when to counterattack. They just need to play one more such match, whereas Lithuania, in order to win, needs to find resources to elevate their game to a higher level, especially in attack, which is hard to expect on the last day of the championship.
