  • Canada won 6-1 when the teams last met in May 2022

Canada Form

Canada have already secured a place in the quarter-finals despite suffering multiple defeats.

The Maple Leafs got off to a strong start as they shut out Latvia in a 6-0 win and then downed Slovenia 5-2.

They were made to work for a shootout win against Slovakia, but quickly got back to winning convincingly as they downed Kazakhstan 5-1 in their fourth outing.

Canada failed to make it five-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 3-2 by group leaders Switzerland over the weekend.

That was followed by a shootout defeat when they face already-eliminated Norway on Monday.

Czech Republic Form

The Czech Republic go into their final group game with a quarter-final spot already secured.

The Czechs opened the tournament with a 3-2 victory, and then eased past Kazakhstan, winning 5-1.

Their unbeaten start was halted by a 4-3 overtime loss to Latvia, but they rebounded quickly to beat Slovenia 6-2 in their next outing.

The Czech Republic then shut out Norway in a 2-0 win, only for another winning sequence to end at two games.

They were beaten 4-2 by group leaders Switzerland when the teams met on Sunday.

Verdict

Canada are the better team and, with the quarter-finals on the horizon, they will be keen to bounce back from their loss last time out.
