THE PREDICTION
Arguably the two favourites to compete in the gold medal match find themselves competing for bronze as Switzerland and Sweden, comfortably the two best teams across the round-robin stage face off here. Switzerland suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Japan in the semi-finals after beating them the previous day, whilst Sweden were the unfortunate losers in a 11-12 thriller against Great Britain that went to an extra end. Of the two nations, Sweden come into this final in the better form from a scoring perspective and have the psychological factor of having already beaten Switzerland in the round-robin stage. When taking into account the quality of throwing shown by skip Anna Hasselborg in particular, it’s difficult to go against her. Expect another close contest between two very strong teams, but ultimately back Sweden to complete a double of victories against Switzerland in Beijing and secure the bronze medal.
