Czechia and Denmark are both seeking a quarterfinal spot as they face off in the Qualifying Round of the Olympics in Milan. 

While the Czechs finished their group stage play with a defeat to Switzerland, my Czechia vs. Denmark predictions expect them to bounce back.

Czechia vs Denmark prediction

Czechia vs Denmark Best bet: Czechia -2.5 (+100 at BET99)

Czechia hasn’t looked spectacular in this tournament, with a victory over a weak France team sandwiched in between losses to Canada and Switzerland.

That said, Denmark hasn't looked starry either, with its only win coming against Latvia. The Czechs have more depth than the Danes, and I expect them to bring their best here, with their Olympic fate on the line.

Czech netminder Lukas Dostal will also shut the door on a Denmark side that averaged just over two goals per game in the group stage.
