Canada vs Austria prediction

So far, the group stage has gone as well as Canada would’ve hoped. Sidney Crosby’s star power has been the main story, but this Canadian team has quality all over the ice and that’s been reflected in their results. Three consecutive wins including a whopping 16 points scored and only one point conceded, it’s no surprise to see them leading Group A.

Austria have nothing to lose here with them being massive underdogs and should at least look to play with no pressure on their shoulders. But the chances of them containing this mouth-watering Canadian offensive are extremely small and it would be a shock if Canada don’t triumph by a fairly wide margin.
