// Russia’s national hockey team looks into champion future
Russia’s national team has a wonderful chance, for the first time in 14 years, to gain back the title of the best hockey team in the world. Only two more victories are needed at the World Cup in Moscow. Yet, Russia will face strong rivals: Finland in the semifinal on Saturday, and Canada or Sweden in the final on Sunday.
Vyacheslav Bykov’s hockey team has very good chances to win back the gold medals. Playing in Moscow will definitely help.
However, Russians will face strong rivals: Finland in the semifinal, and Canada or Sweden in the final. It was Finland that Russia lost 0:4 in Turin.
Bookmakers believe that Russia is the favorite in that match. The average ratio for stakes on Russia’s victory is 1.40, while Finland has 5.30, Canada – 2.15, and Sweden – 2.50.
