How it plays out

Switzerland meet Canada with our model leaning Switzerland's way (48% to win, 24% draw). Reliable knockout regulars built on a solid spine. Canada, meanwhile, co-hosts with elite pace and a point to prove.

Switzerland's edge comes from tournament pedigree, but Canada will look to exploit aging spine. Expect a contest decided in the details, set pieces, transitions and the bench.
