Nothing seriously at stake here in this match, one of the last competition games for the ENC in Europe. A win to Sweden would almost certainly put enough daylight between them and the Czech Republic to almost guarantee another two seasons in ENC 1B.

For Poland a win would inch them closer to competition favourites Germany and a chance to aim for promotion to ENC 1A for 2014-16.

Prediction: Poland by 3 points
