Canada vs Norway prediction

Canada were expected to be among the front-runners to become World Champions when taking into account the incredible squad at their disposal. Sidney Crosby was at his brilliant best last time out against Denmark in a third-period blitz by the Canadians whilst Porter Martone and Macklin Celebrini have been as good as you would expect. It will take a really good team to stop them this year.

Norway have enjoyed a good start to the group stage, winning two of their three matches so far and are firmly on track for a place in the quarter-finals. However, they shouldn’t be able to compete with Canada’s offensive prowess and as has been in the case in all of their games, Canada’s class should eventually tell and lead to them winning once again.
