Switzerland
The team secured a shutout victory against the USA in their last match of the tournament (3-0), marking their second consecutive win at this World Championship. Switzerland scored twice in the opening 20 minutes, with the final score set in the middle of the third period. After three games, the team occupies fourth place in their group, just two points behind the leader.
- Switzerland has won in regulation time in 6 of their last 10 World Championship matches.
- The team has scored at least three goals in 60 minutes in 5 of their last 7 World Championship games.
- No more than five goals have been scored in regulation time in 6 of Switzerland's last 8 World Championship matches.
Germany
Germany achieved their third consecutive victory at the World Championship by defeating Norway in their last game (5-2). The team scored once in power play and once shorthanded. Four players from the team each collected two points. With nine points, Germany leads Group B and is currently the most prolific team in their group after the USA (15 goals).
- Germany has not scored more than two goals in regulation time in 8 of their last 10 World Championship head-to-head meetings.

Switzerland vs. Germany: Match Prediction
Germany started the tournament successfully with three consecutive wins, but their schedule has been favorable, facing the group's underdogs. Now, a real test begins for them. Switzerland surprised with a shutout victory over the USA, which should boost their confidence. Considering Switzerland rarely struggles against Germany, they might secure maximum points.
In 7 of the last 10 World Championship meetings, Switzerland has defeated Germany, though twice only beyond regulation time. Moreover, Switzerland has not dropped points in any match of the current tournament (2 wins, 1 draw), and unlike Germany, their opponents have not been weak at this stage. Additionally, Switzerland has 6 regulation-time victories in their last 10 World Championship matches.
I believe Switzerland will prevail in the upcoming match, and they should manage it within regulation time. My prediction: Switzerland to win
