Switzerland vs Great Britain prediction

For Switzerland, this is a matter of keeping their composure, avoiding any complacency and doing a profession job as they look to avoid a monumental upset here and get the better of Great Britain, who are without a point to their name and haven’t been competitive, scoring just three goals and conceding 15, the worst in the group.

They are outmatched against an excellent Swiss side who should assert their dominance over the course of three periods. Switzerland are better across the ice and their ability to pull the puck around at speed will likely lead to lots of Swiss scoring opportunities. Expect them to win by a sizeable margin because any other outcome would be a shock.
