Two of the most competitive national teams of the Ice Hockey World Championship like Canada and Finland will clash next Monday at 12:20 pm CST in a game which is expected to be taken as a very good opportunity to test their strengths just before the quarterfinals, being worth noting that both teams have already qualified for the next round.
In this regard, Canada is taken as the absolute favorite to win as they currently have shown a better offensive effectiveness with 28 scored goals and notes as the best defensive line with just 2 conceded goals. However, it cannot be forgotten that they’ll face the most challenging teams in the remaining matchdays, so this will be when the competition will really start for the Canadians.
Meanwhile, Finland have already suffered their first loss of the season against Sweden, team which currently leads the standings on Group A with 18 points. Nevertheless, they also showed some defensive fragility during their game against France, and even though they won it in overtime, the point they lost in that match will definitely be key for most likely keeping away from the top spots of their group.

Our Finland vs Canada Prediction
To conclude, this game will be very enjoyable as both teams will definitely participate in the Championship playoffs, however it makes sense to have Canada as the big favorites due to the fact that Finland has very important absences as some of their best players are still competing in the NHL. Therefore, the pick for Canada – Finland is: Under 5.5 Goals!
