THE PREDICTION
Switzerland were the standout nation across the round-robin stage of the Women’s Curling event, winning eight and losing just one of their nine matches played. Japan in contrast, did just enough to get through with a record of 5-4. The last time these two teams faced off, Switzerland triumphed 8-4 with the highlight being their three-point score in the ninth end. This is an example of the clutch plays shown throughout this event so far from skip Silvana Tirinzoni and her team. Whilst only three points separates them in terms of the amount they have scored across the competition, Switzerland have conceded 16 less points. Such tactical nous and defensive stability should see Switzerland overcome Japan and make it through to the final, provided they maintain the same levels of performance shown so far in Beijing.
