Canada Form

Canada are one win away from a return to the final following their sixth victory of the tournament.

The Maple Leafs opened the World Championship with an emphatic 6-0 victory over semi-final opponents Latvia.

They followed that up with three more wins as they downed Slovenia 5-2, beat Slovakia via a shootout and then blew out Kazakhstan 5-1.

Canada’s win streak was halted by a 3-2 loss to Switzerland, and they then dropped a shootout to Norway before wrapping up the group campaign with a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic.

That set up a rematch from last season’s final as the Maple Leafs took on hosts Finland in the quarter-finals, and this time it was the visitors who came out on top, winning 4-1.

Latvia Form

Latvia are surprise semi-finalists, having overcome a slow start to march into the final four.

They appeared to be in trouble early on in the group stage as they lost 6-0 to Canada and 2-1 to Slovakia in their opening two games.

The Latvians have not lost since though, winning five straight games to march on in the competition.

They stopped the rot with a 4-3 overtime win against the Czech Republic, and backed that up by beating Norway 2-1, Slovenia 3-2, Kazakhstan 7-0 and Switzerland 4-3 in overtime.

Latvia then sent Sweden crashing out of the competition in the quarter-finals, winning 3-1.

Verdict

Canada v Latvia

Latvia have been on an impressive run, but Canada are the better team.

The Maple Leafs have dominated the Latvians over the years, including during the group stage of this year’s tournament, so we are predicting routine progress for Canada.
