Next Thursday noon will be a key date for Canada and Austria in the Ice Hockey World Championship, as both national teams will clash at 12:20 pm CST with the sole objective of winning. However, it must be noted that both squads are currently having an opposite performance on Group A and that explains why Canada is considered as the big favorite to win.
In this matter, it’s worth noting that Canada won their first three games of the championship with very dominant performances over Slovenia, France and Latvia. With this in mind, it must be noted that Latvia was the only team that scored in those confrontations, but despite that Canada hasn’t been able to solely be on the top spot of the group as Sweden has also remained unbeaten.
Meanwhile, Austria won their first game of the championship in overtime against Slovakia (3-2), and even though they aren’t expected to exponentially increase their offensive effectiveness, it’s worth noting that they hold a pretty solid performance when facing Sweden and Finland during the first two games of the championship. However, they need to keep hardly working to avoid relegation to Division IA.
