THE PREDICTION
Italy have little time to dwell on their first match of the round-robin stage against United States as they find themselves straight back in action, with Switzerland the opposition this time round. 2018 Olympic silver medallists Jenny Perret and Martin Rios were last on the ice against China on Wednesday and have a little more time to prepare for what should be a very tight affair. Both nations are equally match with the same two pairs having shared fifth-place in the 2021 World Championships, each narrowly losing out in their respective qualification game. The momentum of Italy having been on the ice a matter of hours before this match may work in their favour, however, the experience of Switzerland on the Olympic stage of Mixed Doubles Curling cannot be underestimated to consider backing Perret and Rios to narrowly emerge victorious.
