Latvia U18 - Slovakia U18

The fourth match in the championship for both teams. After three matches, the French team has earned one point against the Finns, but suffered two defeats against the Latvians and Canada yesterday. The French coach did not expect much resistance from Canada yesterday, so he rested his main attackers and goalkeeper, but today they are back in the starting lineup. The Slovaks have four points, having lost to the Austrians in a penalty shootout, but they have also defeated the Swedes and the group underdogs, the Slovenes. They rested yesterday, but in their last game, the team lost their important defender M. Ivan, who will no longer play in this championship. The team's performance is not as bad as the results show, as they create numerous opportunities, but their problem is their inability to finish. Therefore, if they manage to capitalize on their chances today, it is likely that the score will go over.

Following their recent defeat to the Swiss team, where they were unable to score a single goal, today the USA team will try to redeem themselves. So far, the USA has beaten the Danes 5-0, the Hungarians 6-0, but lost 0-3 to the Swiss. The youngest team in the tournament, the USA has a lot of talent and these young players will want to prove their worth. The Norwegian coach has made some changes to the lineup compared to yesterday, I don't know if it's due to injuries or fatigue. However, one defender and some forwards have been taken out of the lineup.
