Canada vs Switzerland prediction

It was exciting to watch Canada’s first game with their plethora of superstars teaming up in their quest for Olympic glory. Connor McDavid, Brad Marchand, Macklin Celebrini were all heavily involved and whilst we could see lots of line rotation here from the Canadians, expect them to remain a formidable outfit.

Switzerland were comfortable winners by four points to nil against France, but this time they are likely to have far less of the puck and will have to scrap for every possession against a team of such incredible flair and passing ability. In the end, Canada are worth backing to do enough but the value play would be backing them via a smaller handicap.

Canada vs Switzerland tip: Canada to win with -2.5 handicap
