USA vs Switzerland Prediction

USA’s quest for a seventh World Junior Championship continues here and on the back of topping Group A, confidence will be high among their squad. Especially after getting the better of home nation Canada last time out, defeating them 1-4 in Ottawa. Switzerland made it through as fourth-placed finishers in Group B, winning one and losing three of their four games.

No doubt USA will be confident of overwhelming a defence that averaged four goals conceded per match over the course of the group stage and provided complacency isn’t a factor here, the Swiss are expected to be outclassed across three periods.
