The World Championship 2025 semi-final match between Switzerland and Denmark will take place on May 24 at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm. Switzerland vs. Denmark: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Switzerland
Switzerland secured a dominant victory over Austria in the World Championship quarter-finals with a 6-0 win. Notably, the team outshot their opponents by almost three times. By the end of the first period, Switzerland already led 3-0 and added three more goals, converting two power plays. Impressively, six Swiss players recorded two points each.
Reaching the World Championship semi-finals for the second consecutive time, Switzerland previously defeated Canada in a shootout last year, earning silver medals for the first time since 2018.
- Switzerland has won their last seven World Championship matches by at least three goals in regular time.
- The team has scored at least four goals in three periods in 6 of their last 8 World Championship games.
- Switzerland has not conceded more than one goal in regular time in their last six World Championship matches.
Denmark
Denmark pulled off a sensational 2-1 victory over Canada in the World Championship quarter-finals. All goals were scored in the third period, with Denmark coming back from 0-1 down and netting the winner just 49 seconds before the final buzzer. Patrick Russell stood out for Denmark, contributing to both goals (0+2).
This recent victory over Canada marks only the second official win for Denmark. Remarkably, Denmark will play in the World Championship semi-finals for the first time in their history.
- Denmark has failed to score in regular time in 3 of their last 4 World Championship meetings.
- The team has won their last five World Championship matches (including one shootout win).
- At least six goals have been scored in 5 of Denmark's last 7 World Championship games.
Switzerland vs. Denmark: Match Prediction
Switzerland impressed in the group stage and had no trouble in the quarter-finals, positioning themselves as strong contenders for the gold medal this year. Denmark, no doubt, surprised many by eliminating Canada, but they will face psychological pressure as they have never advanced this far in the tournament's history. Switzerland is unlikely to underestimate their opponents, given Denmark's performance in the previous stage. Therefore, I believe Patrick Fischer's team will comfortably secure a place in the final.
In 7 of their 8 matches at the current World Championship, Switzerland has won by at least three goals in regular time. The team achieved similar results in 7 of their last 9 World Championship meetings. Switzerland has no issues with character or motivation, and I believe they will not share Canada's fate in this tournament. My prediction: Switzerland with a handicap (-2.5)
