I believe that in this quarterfinal against Latvia, Sweden should dictate the tempo from the first minutes. In the group stage, the Swedes have demonstrated one of the most productive offenses - lots of shots, a high pace, and constant pressure in stretches.
Latvians had difficulties defending for longer stretches without the puck and this can result in consecutive goals against them. The head-to-head history also clearly favors the Swedish side - in the last few championships, they have scored 6-7 goals.
Therefore, a line of over 4.5 Sweden goals seems reasonable, especially if the favorite takes control early and doesn't start playing in a defensive mode.
