Switzerland vs Canada prediction

Canada have been forced to wait to play their opening match after their scheduled first game on Thursday against Finland was postponed following a sickness bug that had spread its way through the Finnish squad. They were expected to win that game and the same outcome should be on the cards here when you consider the ability of their roster from top to bottom.

Switzerland are likely to struggle against the Canadians but their confidence has been boosted by a dramatic shootout win over Czechia last time out. That match saw them rally from behind in the third period to tie it and their fitness levels cannot be underestimated. In the end though, the Olympic champions should wind up just too good for them.

Switzerland vs Canada tip: Canada to win with -5.5 handicap
