Minnesota looks great this season and has noticeably strengthened with the arrival of Kirill Kaprizov. The team is ranked third in the Western Division with 39 points. “Savages” are playing fairly stable. Yes, they recently suffered a crushing defeat to Colorado on the road with a score of 1:5 and 0:6, but in matches with other opponents, as a rule, they succeed. Note that in the previous two fights Dean Evason’s wards sorted out relations with Anaheim and celebrated victory with a score of 2:1 and 3:2, respectively. In total, the team played 15 matches at the home arena and earned two points in 12 of them, conceding no more than two goals on average.
It is likely that the San Marino national team is generally the weakest team in the entire world. Last year, they played 6 matches in which they took only one point in a duel with Liechtenstein. In addition, this team did not score a single goal and did not have any chance to please their fans. Most of the players on the guest lineup are from Italian semi-amateur teams. Most of these guys have never played big matches or big stadiums, but now they have a real chance to see the colorfulness of Wembley Arena.
