Everything will be decided in front of 13,455 spectators in the busy Nokia Arena in Tampere.
Silencing this arena is what we want and strive for, star defender Tre Kronor Rasmus Dalen, 22, said yesterday.
“we will see…”
Finland’s strikers include Hari Pessonen, 33, who is a member of the Swedish squad.
Of course, their goal is to silence the arena and we want to use the crowd and energy to help us play well. We will see who is silent and who is not, says Bessonne.
What was it like to play at home?
– So far it’s been so much fun. Really loud and people are screaming and supporting us. They give us a lot of energy and motivation to play well. Tonight will probably be the loudest night yet.
Olympic meeting decided
When the two teams last met in the tournament, at the Olympics in February, Finland switched from 0-3 to a 4-3 win after overtime.
The person scored the critical goal.
– Yes, of course I remember that. Of course I hope something similar tonight. But Sweden will be our strongest opponent so far.

Veteran Finnish striker Marco Antilla, 36, nodded in agreement when the ‘lions’ result emerged, admitting it will be a tough challenge.
Sweden has good skaters and plays fast hockey. We have to get rid of our guts if we want to win, says Antilla.
