  • Canada won 5-1 when the two teams last met in May 2024

Canada Form

Canada eased into the quarter-finals of the World Championship by winning six of their seven group games.

The Canadians, who last won this tournament in 2023, opened the 2025 competition with a string of blowout victories.

They shut out Slovenia as they won their opener 4-0, and backed that up with a 7-1 demolition of Latvia and a 5-0 rout of France.

Canada then eased to a 5-1 victory over Austria, before downing Slovakia 7-0 to take their record to 5-0.

The Canadians failed to make it six-in-a-row as they lost 2-1 to Finland, but they did issue an immediate response as they won their final group game against Sweden, 5-3.

Denmark Form

Denmark secured their spot in the last eight of the World Championship by beating Germany in a winner-takes-all group stage finale.

The Danes were handed a Murderers Row of opponents to start the competition, resulting in a 0-3 start.

They lost 5-0 to the United States, 5-2 to Switzerland and 7-2 to the Czech Republic to put themselves behind the 8-Ball early on.

Denmark rallied though, beating Kazakhstan 5-1, and they backed that up with an 8-2 blowout of Hungary and a 6-3 success against Norway.

That set up a clash with Germany that would see the winner advance, and the Danes took it, winning 2-1 via a shootout.

Verdict

Canada are levels above this Danish team, so we are not expecting an upset here.

The Canadians have been winning games and winning them comfortably, boasting a +3.9 scoring average, so we are backing them to win and cover the Line.
