Switzerland

The Swiss national team has turned into one of the strongest national teams in the world in recent years. They annually attract a lot of players from the NHL to participate in the championship. The 2024 World Cup is no exception as we see Roman Josi, Philipp Kurashev, Nico Hischier, Nino Niederreiter and a number of other players in the lineup. In the opening match of the tournament Pthe team had no problems with the Norwegians - 5:2. It seemed that the Austrians would bring even less problems to the Red and White, but in reality they were already down 1:3 in the opening of the second period, then took the lead 4:3, allowed the opponent to come back 4:4, but still pulled out the victory in the last minute - 6:5.

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic national team can't boast good results in recent years. The Lions haven't won an Olympic medal since 2006. At the World Championships over the last decade they have only once finished in the top three, when they won bronze medals at the 2022 World Cup. At the last planetary championship, they were limited to the quarter-finals. The 2024 World Cup at home is a chance for the Czechs to get close to the elite of world hockey again. The start of the tournament was very honourable for them. In their opening game against Finland, they played patiently in defence and won only on a shootout - 1:0. Next was a more cheerful and effective meeting against Norway, in which they also managed to win - 6:3.
