United States vs Switzerland Preview & Picks

The United States are tipped to make it three wins from three games.

The Americans have looked sharp at both ends of the ice and can punish a Swiss team that were sloppy at times against Denmark.

  • The United States are 2-0 in the tournament
  • The USA covered in each of their first 2 games
  • The Americans have so far out-scored their opposition 11-0
  • Games involving the United States are averaging 5.5 goals

Head To Head

  • United States lead the series 13-7 since 2002
  • The United States won 3-0 when the two teams last met in May 2022

United States Form

The United States go into this big group game looking to maintain a perfect record after back-to-back victories to start the competition.

Not only are the American unbeaten through two games, they are also yet to concede goal.

They opened with a 5-0 victory over Denmark last Friday, and followed it up over the weekend with a 6-0 demolition of Hungary.

It has been a strong start for the United States, who have not won the World Championship since 1960.

Last year’s bid ended in disappointment, as they were bounced out of the tournament in the quarter-finals by eventual winners, the Czech Republic, 1-0.

Switzerland Form

Switzerland enter this matchup looking to build on a victory that improved their record to 1-0-1.

The Swiss made it all the way to the final a year ago, losing 2-0 to the Czech Republic, and it was against the Czechs that they started the 2025 tournament.

Once again they came up short, as they opened the competition with a 5-4 overtime defeat.

They rebounded in the second game of the tournament though, giving themselves some momentum heading into this big game against the Americans.

Switzerland got off the mark on Saturday as they erased a 2-1 deficit and downed Denmark, 5-2.

Verdict

The United States have made an early statement and we expect another win here.

They are scoring efficiently and playing solid defensive hockey, while Switzerland underwhelmed against the Danes last time out.
