Denmark

In their last match, Denmark suffered a 0-5 defeat against the USA. In the final two periods, the Americans outshot Denmark by more than double. Over their last 5 World Championship games, the team has shown a weak defense, conceding an average of 3.00 goals per game. Notably, Denmark has never won a medal in the tournament's history, and they last reached the World Championship playoffs in 2016.

• At least five goals were scored in regular time in 6 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings at the World Championships.
• Denmark has scored no more than one goal in 60 minutes in 5 of their last 7 games in this tournament.
• Denmark has lost by at least two goals in regular time in 6 of their last 7 World Championship matches.

Switzerland

Switzerland lost to the Czech Republic 4-5 (OT) on the first matchday. Forward Gregory Hofmann stood out with two assists. It's worth noting that Switzerland has never lost to Denmark in World Championship history. Additionally, Switzerland has reached at least the quarter-finals in each of the past seven years.

• Switzerland has scored no more than three goals in regular time in 7 of their last 9 World Championship games.
• The team has won 8 of their last 11 games in this tournament (2 in shootouts).

Denmark vs. Switzerland: Match Prediction

Denmark is at the bottom of Group B in the current championship. To avoid relegation, the team needs to make a significant effort. Traditionally, Denmark struggles against Switzerland, having scored no more than one goal in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head World Championship meetings over 60 minutes. The team's defense has also been unreliable in this tournament, conceding at least three goals in 6 of their last 7 World Championship matches in regular time.

Switzerland, after a disappointing loss to the Czechs, will not miss the chance to earn points against a weaker opponent. The team's confidence is boosted by a strong defensive performance, conceding no more than two goals in 4 of their last 5 World Championship games over 60 minutes. Additionally, their high scoring record against Denmark is encouraging, with at least four goals scored in 6 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings in this tournament in regular time.

I consider Switzerland the favorite for the upcoming game, having won in regular time in 6 of the last 8 head-to-head World Championship encounters by at least three goals. My prediction: Switzerland to win with a handicap (-1.5)
