THE PREDICTION
You could be forgiven for thinking that Beijing 2022 is starting to take the same trajectory as PyeongChang 2018 when it comes to the Curling Mixed Doubles event. That year saw Canada lose their opening match of the tournament before proving unstoppable therefore. John Morris and new partner Rachel Homan have started in the same vein here, losing their first match to Great Britain, before winning their next three. Homan and Morris boast the strongest defence in the tournament so far heading into Saturday’s games with just 23 points scored against them and whilst Sweden will pose a strong challenge to the Canadians, having scored 33 points after five games, Canada should be able to capitalise on their weakness of allowing other nations to score against them too easily, with only Australia having conceded more points ahead of Saturday’s fixtures. When taking this into account, Canada are expected to make it four straight round-robin victories in Beijing by beating Sweden.
