THE PREDICTION
Italy are yet to pick up a win so far in this Men’s Curling event and this match with China perhaps represents their best chance yet to do so. It was never going to be easy for the Italians against tough opponents like Great Britain and Sweden, whilst China were able to scrape a win against one of the weaker teams on paper in Denmark. However, Ma Xiuyue and his team were beaten against both ROC and China and Italy as a team are closer to their level than that of Denmark. When taking this into account, the smart play here is to back skip Joel Retornaz to lead his side which includes Mixed Curling Doubles gold medallist Amos Mosaner to a welcome victory.
