Canada Form

Canada go into this game boasting a 100% record following another one-sided victory on Tuesday.

The Canadians, who are looking to regain the crown they lost a year ago, got off to a solid start as they shut out Slovenia in a 4-0 victory.

They have now backed up that success with two more one-side wins to improve to 3-0 in the group.

Canada made it back-to-back wins and made a statement with the manner in which they beat Latvia, 7-1.

They then made it three-in-a-row with their second shutout victory of the tournament so far, beating France 5-0.

Austria Form

Austria enter this matchup looking to build on their first victory of the campaign and improve their record to 2-2.

The Austrians narrowly missed out on the knockout stage a year ago, as they finished fifth in their group.

Their hopes of at least going one better this time around suffered an early setback, as they opened with back-to-back defeats.

Austria kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Finland, and then fell to a 4-2 loss when they played host to Sweden.

The Austrians won at the third time of asking though, as they downed Slovakia on Monday.

Verdict

Canada are off to the perfect start and they have been winning their games in comprehensive fashion.

They have so far out-scored their opposition 16-1, so we expect them to not only win this game, but cover the line too.
