Prediction
1 - Czech Republic
2 - Finland
3 - Russia
4 - Sweden
I think the host will pull out the victory in this section of the tour. Finland will just beat out a not-quite-strong-as-usual Russian squad. Sweden will end up in a familiar place. In the end, the Czechs will take over first overall in the EHT and win this year's edition of the tournament.
