United States Form

The Americans made straightforward work of Latvia on Thursday, cruising to a 5-1 victory thanks to four unanswered goals.
They went into that matchup on a fantastic run of form, having won each of their last seven games – a run that led them to a World Championship in 2025.
The United States have not tasted defeat since the 3-0 loss to Switzerland in the group stage, and they responded with four consecutive wins to make the knockouts.
The Americans then downed Finland 5-2 and Sweden 6-2 to book their place in the final, where they beat Denmark 1-0 in overtime to lift the trophy.
Denmark Form
Denmark enter this matchup looking to kick-start their campaign, having lost their tournament opener.
The Danes, who made it all the way to last year’s World Championship Final, opened their Winter Olympics slate against Germany, and fell to a 3-1 defeat in that matchup.
It was a rough start for a team that caused a series of upsets in last year’s World’s.
Denmark shocked Canada and Sweden on their way to the final, where they finally went down 1-0 to the United States after taking the Americans to overtime.
The Danes have struggled for form since then though, and entered this tournament having lost two of their three European Cup of Nations games to close out 2025.
