United States Form

The United States advanced from the group stage with an unbeaten record thanks to seven wins.

The Americans opened the tournament in impressive fashion by downing the defending champions, Finland, 4-1.

That was followed up by a 7-1 demolition of Hungary and a 3-2 success against Germany as they put themselves firmly on course for the knockout stage.

The wins kept coming as they then beat Austria 4-1, and then recorded shutout victories over Denmark and France, winning 3-0 and 9-0.

The United States wrapped up the group stage with a 4-3 overtime win over Sweden.

Czech Republic Form

The Czech Republic claimed the final qualifying spot in the quarter-finals, winning four of their seven group games.

They opened the tournament with back-to-back wins, edging Slovakia 3-2 before blowing out Kazakhstan 5-1.

Their winning start was halted by a 4-3 overtime loss to Latvia, but they hit back quickly as they beat Slovenia 6-2 and Norway 2-0.

The Czech Republic failed to win either of their final two group games though.

They were beaten 4-2 by group winners Switzerland, before suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Canada.

Verdict

The United States are on a roll and are backed to down a Czech Republic team who have repeatedly come up short against quality teams at this tournament.
