The Americans managed to take first place in their group, beating the hosts of the tournament, the Canadians, in the last match.

The only team that failed to beat was Finland in the third round. The Finns managed to bring the match to overtime, where they scored the decisive goal in the second minute. In the last round, the Americans managed to win a confident victory over the tournament host, Canada (4:1).

Switzerland U20
SwitzerlandCurrent form
The Swiss team predictably failed to fight for third place in the group, but still made it to the quarterfinals, beating another outsider, the Kazakhstan team (3:1) in the last match. At the same time, the Swiss team failed to score a single point in the first three matches, losing to the Czech Republic (1:5), Slovakia (1:2) and Sweden (5:7). Apparently, the victory over Kazakhstan will remain the only one for the team at the championship, because it will be extremely difficult to beat one of the tournament favorites in the quarterfinals.

Switzerland have no problems with their squad ahead of the World Cup quarter-finals.
Interesting trends for betting

1.85Tip and bets
Switzerland is absolutely incomparable in terms of level to the US team. The American team remains one of the main favorites of the tournament and will clearly try to beat the opponent as confidently as possible. In the 20s, every victory of the USA over Switzerland was a rout. At this tournament, the European team did not show anything outstanding, so the trend is unlikely to be interrupted.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-4.5) puck on USA for 1.93
Bet on total
This match could very well end with more than six goals scored. The Americans have a very strong attack line and always run forward to score more. We don't think Switzerland will be able to hold back the onslaught of their opponents.
Our prediction is total over 6.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on individual total
The US team plays high-scoring hockey at this tournament, which works great in games with underdogs. We believe that the American team will show a master class now, so we will bet on a large number of goals scored by the nominal hosts.
Our prediction is individual total of USA over 5.5 goals for 1.82
