United States Form

The United States have won all eight of their games so far, and need just one more to make the final.

The USA got off to the perfect start as they downed defending champions Finland, 4-1, in their opening game.

They backed that up with a 7-1 demolition of Hungary, before beating Germany 3-2, Austria 4-1 and Denmark 3-0.

The United States then ran riot in a 9-0 victory over France, before wrapping up the group stage with a 4-3 overtime victory over a Sweden.

A semi-final berth was then secured when the Americans posted their third shutout win in four games, beating the Czech Republic 3-0.

Germany Form

Germany won four of their seven group games to scrape into the quarter-finals, and are now just one win away from a surprise final berth.

They got off to a nightmare start at the tournament as a tough schedule resulted in three consecutive defeats.

The Germans lost 1-0 to Sweden, 4-3 to Finland, and then fell to a 3-2 defeat when they took on their semi-final opponents, the United States.

Germany rebounded impressively though, beating Denmark 6-4, Austria 4-2, Hungary 7-2 and France 5-0 to snatch a place in the knockout stage.

They then made it five wins in a row as they upset Switzerland 3-1 in the quarter-finals.
