Six of the eight quarter-finalists have already been determined for the last three matchdays. Besides Switzerland, the Czech Republic (2-0 against Norway) and Canada (despite the 2-3 loss against Switzerland) also qualified in Pool B for next Thursday’s knockout phase. Host country Latvia and Slovakia are involved in a long-distance duel for fourth place.
In Group A, which will be played in Tampere, the USA (3-0 against Denmark), Sweden (4-0 against France) and second hosts Finland (3-1 against Austria) are no longer in the top four. Here the last place in the quarter-finals should go to Germany or Denmark.
Latvia is getting better at the home tournament. After a false start with two losses, they won for the fourth time in a row – with a 7-0 victory over Kazakhstan. The Balts are six points ahead of Slovakia, but have already played six games. If the Slovaks win against Slovenia and Norway as expected, Latvia needs at least one point due to the lost direct meeting at the end of the preliminary round on Tuesday against Switzerland. (SDA)
