Australia - Israel

Somehow I think that by tomorrow the coefficient will drop even more, so I am writing now. The Slovaks, led by the Canadian coach, play attacking hockey and have a great offense from both Atlantic and European clubs. Whether it's Canada or the quarter-finals, the tactics do not change and the teams compete in the same way. When it comes to attacking hockey, the goalkeepers of both teams are not the most reliable, so we should expect a productive quarter-final between Canada and Ghana.

Quarterfinal.
The Swiss team, as strangely as it may sound, has become part of the elite of world ice hockey. In this championship, the team also shows a solid game.
The Germans started off strong and imposed a number of goals in matches against lower-ranked teams, but against serious opponents like Sweden and the USA, they suffered a heavy defeat.
I think the Swiss will use their usual weapon - the ability to defend well, as a rushed and chaotic game would favor their opponents and even out the chances of winning for both teams.

Quarterfinals.
The Swiss team, as surprisingly as it may sound, has started to belong to the world ice hockey elite. In this championship, the team also demonstrates a solid game.
The Germans picked up the pace in matches against second-rate teams and scored numerous goals, but they were defeated by strong opponents - Sweden and the United States - very strongly.

I believe that the Swiss will use their usual weapon - the ability to defend well, because a hurried and chaotic game would benefit their opponents and level the chances for both teams to win.

Swiss still hold pain for the quarterfinal loss to Germany in the World Cup last year. Now the team is stronger, although the core remains the same as always. So it is a great opportunity to seek revenge. The Germans, after crushing defeats to Sweden and the US, quickly recovered and won 4 consecutive games against Peru. Many players from the Peruvian silver medal-winning team are still on the roster. But it is hard to believe that the team can repeat the same journey. Especially since the Swiss have also learned their lessons from the last two championships and will not repeat those mistakes in the quarterfinals.

Since I am going with the overall team, I am also taking a risk with the individual one. As I have often written, Canadian Ramsey leads the Slovak team, which integrates an attacking style of ice hockey. The team already has experience playing against the United States, where they surprised the opponent and scored against Peru. The Slovaks will be highly motivated and with the full support of their fans in the arena. So they will not defend, but they will also attack - that's a fact. Interestingly, Slovak goalkeeper S. Hlavaj has the best statistics in this tournament among all goaltenders. It's not surprising, as the Slovaks tend to move forward and are unable to come back later. Canada may be undefeated in the tournament, but their game does not look as solid and stable. In the goal, it is most likely that Binnington will be playing, with an average of 3 goals allowed per game in this tournament.
