Switzerland (3rd seed) will face Great Britain (19th seed) in Group A at the IIHF World Championship on Thursday evening. Le Nati have a perfect record of X wins in X in this competition, and our prediction is that they will be far too strong for Team GB in this match. 

Switzerland have made an incredible start to the World Championship, winning all four of their games against the USA (3-1), Latvia (4-2), Germany (6-1) and most recently Austria (9-0). 

Sven Andrighetto has been the standout performer for Le Nati in the competition, now on three goals and five assists, while Denis Malgin has notched up one goal and six assists to date. 

The Swiss have now won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions, as well as their previous two against Team GB in the World Championships. 

Meanwhile, Great Britain’s return to the Top Division has not gone as they would have hoped, as they’ve lost all three of their games against Austria (5-2), the USA (5-1) and Hungary (5-0). 

Nathanael Halbert has stood out for Team GB, currently on one goal and one assist in the tournament. David Clemens and Liam Kirk got on the scoresheet in their opening match. 

The Brits have won only four of their last 10 matches, with all of those victories coming against lower-ranked opposition.

Our Switzerland vs Great Britain Prediction

Switzerland have made full use of their home advantage, winning all three of their games in the World Championships, including a very impressive victory over the reigning champions, the USA. 

Great Britain, on the other hand, have struggled to keep up with the higher-ranked teams in this competition. They have already conceded 15 goals in their three games in this competition, and we feel they will suffer another big loss in this one. Our Switzerland vs Great Britain prediction is Switzerland -3.5. 

Prediction :

 

Switzerland -3.5
