The Swedish national team has been extremely unsuccessful in recent years at world championships. Four times in a row, the Tre Kroonurs have failed to reach even the semi-finals, but they did make progress at the 2024 World Cup. At the group stage, the Yellow and Blue won all seven games, beat the Finns 2:1 in the quarter-finals, lost to the Czechs 3:7 in the semi-finals, but defeated the Canadians 4:2 in the battle for bronze medals.
After that, the Swedes took part in the Four Nations Tournament, where they managed to use almost all of the country's strongest hockey players. The Yellow-Blue gave battle to Canadians and Finns, but twice in a row lost in overtime - 3:4 each, and then, although they defeated the Americans - 2:1, but eventually took only third place in the quartet and did not reach the finals.
Slovakia: form and statistics
The best years in the history of the Slovak national team came at the very beginning of the XXI century, when they won medals at three world championships out of four, and in 2002 they became champions. Since those happy times, the Tricolour have only once reached the medals at the World Championships, when in 2012 they lost to Russia in the final - 2:6.
At the 2024 FIFA World Cup, the Slovaks solved a minimal problem by making it to the playoffs, but in the quarter-final they lost to the Canadians - 3:6. In addition, in September Craig Ramsey's wards played in qualification for the Olympic Games 2026, where they beat Austria 2:1, Hungary 7:3 and Kazakhstan 3:1, which allowed them to get a ticket to the Olympics in Italy.

Sweden vs Slovakia match prediction 9 May 2025
The Swedish national team approached the World Cup 2025 in the status of one of the main favourites. Recall that for the Tre Kronor this tournament is a home tournament, which in itself is an argument in their favour. In addition, the roster of the Yellow and Blue is full of hockey players from the NHL, and very high-profile ones at that.
The Swedish national team had a phenomenal performance in the group stage of the last World Cup. For seven games, the Tre Krunur did not lose a single point, scoring 35 pucks (5.00 average per game) - a phenomenal statistic. Now the Yellow and Blue's lineup is even stronger, they'll be playing in front of their home stands, so the Slovakian defence will face a very serious test.
