THE PREDICTION
Coming off the back of a flawless 9-0 record in the round-robin stage, Italy now face Sweden in this semi-final. Ironically, Sweden have Italy to thank for their place in the semi-finals after the duo of Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner defeated Canada 8-7 earlier in the day, allowing Sweden to leapfrog them into the top four. However, the form of the Italians across the entire event has been incredible. With 79 points racked up over the course of their nine games played so far, including 12 against their opponents here, it’s difficult to see Sweden managing to keep a lid on such firepower, let alone match their scoring. Therefore, Italy have to be favoured for victory and qualification for the gold medal match.
