Finland vs United States Predictions & Picks
Finland are tipped to cover as they take their unbeaten start to three games.
The Finns have won their first couple of outings in comfortable fashion, and they can get the better of a United States roster that is weaker than it has been in recent tournaments.
- Finland have won their first 2 games of the tournament
- Finland have won both of their first 2 games by at least 2 goals
- United States lost their tournament opener by 2 goals
- Finland’s first 2 games have produced under 5.5 goals
Head To Head
- Finland lead the series 18-11-1 since 2003
- United States won 5-2 when the two teams last met in May 2025
Finland Form
Finland go into this game against the United States boasting a 100% record after two outings.
The Finns have been guilty of making slow starts in recent tournaments, but that has not been the case at the 2026 World Championship.
They opened the tournament with a 3-1 victory over Germany, and backed that up over the weekend as they downed Hungary 4-1.
Those wins have put Finland joint top of Group A heading into this matchup with the Americans.
The Finns are locked on six points alongside Austria and host nation Switzerland – three points head of the United States.
United States Form
The United States enter this matchup looking to string together back-to-back wins for the first time in this year’s tournament.
The USA went all the way at the Worlds last year, edging Switzerland 1-0 in the final to clinch the trophy.
They then claimed Winter Olympics gold earlier this year, downing arch rivals Canada in the final, 3-2, but they did not get off to the best of starts here.
The United States opened with a rematch from last year’s final, and fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Switzerland.
The USA did not have to wait too long for their first win though, as they downed Great Britain 5-1 at the weekend.
Verdict
Finland are off to a solid start as they look to secure qualification to the knockouts as quickly as possible.
The United States, on the other hand, came up short in their first real test and do not boast the depth of roster that they fielded in the last two major tournaments, so give us the Finns here.
