After the successful Canadians had to settle for a different medal colour than gold at both the Olympics and the last World Cup, the title is to be regained this year. With tournament victory number 27, the North Americans could even catch up with record world champion Russia.
However, the course of the tournament so far has not been optimal. In the preliminary round there were two defeats and in the end only third place. In the quarter-finals, the team eliminated one of the big favourites, Olympic champion Russia.
Switzerland will go into the match against Canada as a clear outsider, after all, the Swiss have had far fewer successes in the past and have yet to really convince at the World Cup. In the group stage, the Swiss only made it to fourth place on the last matchday, qualifying for participation in the quarter-finals.
With the victory against Finland in the knockout round, however, the team managed the first surprise. Now, as in 2013, the final will take place when Switzerland won the silver medal, the first precious metal since 1953.
