THE PREDICTION
Great Britain come into this Men’s Curling semi-final with momentum firmly in their favour having won seven consecutive round-robin matches to reach this stage of the event. However, skip Bruce Mouat suffered heartbreak in the Mixed Doubles competition after losing both knockout matches and will do everything not to let history repeat itself here with the Men’s team. For United States the journey has been tougher with inconsistency having plagued them throughout. Despite that, reigning Olympic gold medallist John Shuster has done what champions do and found a way to pull his team through to the semi-finals when not at their best.
As dangerous as it is to go against Shuster here, particularly when considering that United States handed Great Britain their only defeat of the round robin stage, Team GB have ultimately been playing by far the better Curling across the Men’s event so far and look an all-round superior team unit to United States, growing in confidence and momentum with every game. Therefore, back Great Britain to extend their winning run garnered from the round-robin stage and book their place in the final over United States.
