USA vs. Switzerland: Match Prediction
The Americans have been impressive in this World Championship, even though their opponents at the start of the tournament were not on their level. Nonetheless, the USA remains unbeaten and has yet to concede a goal. Meanwhile, Switzerland has also performed well, as expected, but it is unlikely they will earn points in the upcoming match, especially given their current defensive issues.
The USA has won in regulation time in 6 of their last 7 World Championship matches. Additionally, they have secured three consecutive victories against Switzerland in World Championship encounters.
Switzerland might surprise later in this Championship, but the Americans are unlikely to be unprepared for their opponent's style. The USA has high ambitions and determination, and it is evident that they are not ready to drop points, so I believe they will take maximum points in the upcoming match.
My prediction: USA to win
