Finland: Liiga (Playoffs)
1. KooKoo vs SaiPa (19:30)
Analysis: KooKoo have exceeded expectations this season, but SaiPa are a team with outstanding fighting spirit. This series is being played at peak emotional intensity. At home, KooKoo play in a structured way, protecting the slot and the boards. SaiPa rely on goaltending heroics and counterattacks.
Key factor: KooKoo have better power-play efficiency at home. SaiPa often take unnecessary penalties in the offensive zone.
Prediction: KooKoo to win in a hard-fought game.
Handicap: KooKoo (0).
Total: Under 4.5. Finnish playoff hockey is all about slowing the game down.
2. Tappara vs Ilves (19:30)
Analysis: The Tampere derby. A match of huge importance. Tappara are a machine when it comes to shutting opponents down defensively. Ilves are talented, but less disciplined. Tappara physically wear opponents down, and by the third period Ilves often run out of energy.
Motivation: Tappara must make the most of their home-ice advantage.
Prediction: Tappara to win.
Handicap: Tappara (-1.5).
Total: Under 4.5 or Under 5.5.
Czech Republic: Extraliga (Relegation Playoffs)
3. Jihlava vs Litvínov (21:00)
Analysis: A survival series. Jihlava, as the challenger, play aggressively at home and use the smaller rink to their advantage. Litvínov, the Extraliga team, are the stronger side in terms of class, but they feel the pressure of having to stay up.
Nuance: In elimination games, home-ice advantage for the underdog often becomes a major factor. Jihlava are highly motivated to spring a surprise.
Prediction: Regulation draw (X) or a Jihlava win in overtime.
Handicap: Jihlava (+1.5).
Total: Over 4.5. Pressure often leads to mistakes and goals.

Prediction: Memmingen to win.
Handicap: Memmingen (-1.5).
Total: Over 5.5.
