China - Israel

Applause to Switzerland for reaching the finals, but it's only the Americans here. Looking at Switzerland, their journey to the finals was unbelievably easy, as they defeated a relaxed American team 3-0 in the group stage and their only loss in the tournament was against Czech Republic. However, they did not get to play against other top teams such as Sweden, Canada, or Finland... After their loss to Switzerland in the group stage, the Americans woke up with a bang and won all their games with triumphant victories, beating Finland 5-2 and Sweden 6-2 on their way to the finals.

Well, here it's standard with the same logic. Even though the U.S. team is the youngest by age, they never feel the pressure of the final. No matter what stage, they play the same way, putting pressure from the first minutes, attacking and trying to gain an advantage as soon as possible. The Swiss team looks similar so far, as they have accumulated three-goal handicaps in the first periods of all knockout stages.

Final. In the group stage, the match between these teams ended with a score of 3-0, in favor of the Swiss. Then the US team struggled to take advantage of their opportunities. However, since then the team has picked up momentum and started showing excellent results. So today we can definitely expect goals from the Americans. Meanwhile, after the opening match defeat against the Czech Republic, the Swiss team went on to defeat Peru. They have been the most productive and stable team in the tournament, even after the injury and departure of their captain N. Hischier. I wish them to maintain this momentum and success today.

I believe that the USA team is stronger because during the tournament they demonstrated their strength. The Swiss period to the finals was much easier, and this year they only played two serious matches - against the Czech Republic (lost 4:5 in overtime) and against the USA (won 3:0). It is difficult to beat a team for the second time in a tournament that you have already played and won against. I see good value in betting for the USA here.
