United States vs Sweden Preview & Picks
The United States are tipped to cover as they book their place in the semi-final.
The Americans are well rested after completing a perfect group stage campaign, while Sweden have lacked cohesion so far and needed to navigate a playoff yesterday.
- United States won all 3 of their group stage games
- All 3 of the United States’ wins have come by at least 3 goals
- Sweden’s previous defeat was by 3 goals
- 2 of the United States’ first 3 games went under 6.5 goals
Head To Head
- Sweden lead the series 9-8 since 2004
- United States won 6-2 when the two teams last met in May 2025
United States Form
The United States advanced to the quarter-finals of the Winter Olympics by reeling off three victories during the group stage.
The Americans opened the tournament with a convincing 5-1 victory when they took on a tough Latvia team.
They backed that up in their second matchup, but they had to come back from being 2-1 down at the end of the first period to beat Denmark 6-3.
The United States made straightforward work of their final group game though, as they secured a playoff bye.
The Americans rattled in five goals before giving up a consolation goal in a 5-1 victory over Germany.
Sweden Form
Sweden go into this matchup having won three of their four games to reach the quarter-finals of the Winter Olympics.
The Swedes enjoyed a winning start to the competition as they opened with a 5-2 victory over Italy.
They failed to back that up though, as a 4-1 defeat to Finland ultimately resulted in them needing to play a playoff game.
Sweden did rebound quickly from that loss as they concluded the group stage with a 5-3 win over Slovakia.
The Swedes then won back-to-back games for the first time in this year’s competition as they downed Latvia in a playoff, 5-1.
Verdict
The United States comfortably negotiated the group stage, while Sweden struggled to make an impression despite boasting a roster of NHL talent.
Momentum and form are firmly in the Americans’ corner, so we expect the USA to get this done.
