Canada vs France prediction

On paper, these teams are streets apart in regards to their respective abilities on the ice and Canada’s unrelenting offense will be expected to enjoy another hugely successful outing after having put seven points past Latvia this past weekend. They currently sit second-place in Group A behind Sweden, having played a game less.

Canada despite boasts a 100% record with 11 points scored and only one conceded. France are without a win and their players may perhaps be low on confidence after losing in overtime last time out at the hands of Finland. Expect their misery to continue here with Canada outclassing them in the end.

Canada vs France tip: France to win
