United States Unbeaten Through 4 Games
The United States go into this semi-final clash having maintained their perfect record with their fourth straight victory in the quarter-finals.
The USA came into the competition as one of the favourites to go all the way and lived up to that billing as they negotiated the group stage with ease.
They opened the tournament with a 5-1 blowout of Latvia, and backed that up by downing a stubborn Denmark team 6-3.
The United States then concluded a perfect group campaign with another one-sided victory, as they downed Germany 5-1 to wrap up their quarter-final berth.
The USA did not have it all their own way in their first knockout game though, as they needed overtime to see off Sweden, 2-1.
They surrendered a one-goal lead in the third period as the Swedes forced the extra period, but the Americans rallied in the additional time as Quinn Hughes’ goal settled matters.
3 Wins In 4 Games For Slovakia
Slovakia have won three of their four games in the tournament so far, pulling off a couple of upsets along the way.
The Slovakians were expected to make a losing start as they were paired with fellow semi-finalists Finland, but instead they produced the first shock of the competition.
They did it in style too, as they ran out 4-1 winners against Finland, and they were able to back that up.
Slovakia improved to 2-0 with a victory over host nation Italy, but this was a far less impressive effort as they scraped a 3-2 win.
The Slovakians then saw their perfect start finally come to an end in the group stage finale, as they were beaten 5-3 by Sweden.
They responded to that defeat in spectacular fashion though, as they blew out Germany 6-2 despite going into that quarter-final clash as an underdog.
Verdict
Slovakia have showcased an ability to cause upsets, but they are clearly overmatched heading into this semi-final showdown.
The United States can shut down the Slovakian offense and pull away on the scoreboard for a convincing victory.
