Team Canada is the most stable national team in world hockey. Suffice it to say that the Maple Leafs have reached the finals at seven of the last eight world championships. Sometimes they have shown extremely poor hockey in the group stage, but in the playoffs they almost always improve and get to the awards. At the 2024 World Cup, they started winning from the very first matches, finished the first stage of the tournament without defeat, and therefore took the first place in the Group A standings. In the quarterfinals they took on the Slovakian national team, which failed to offer any worthy resistance. During the third period, the Canadians led - 5:1, allowed to get closer to themselves, but still won - 6:3.

In recent years, the Swiss national team has climbed to the elite of world hockey, and the team made at the group stage of the World Championships. They have always demonstrated excellent results and even took first place, but at the last four tournaments in a row, they always fell out in the quarterfinals. And now they finally managed to overcome this stage. For starters, they won six of their seven games, losing only to Canada 2:3, which put them in second place in the Group A standings. In the quarterfinals, the Swiss faced the Germans, who still managed to beat them in a hard-fought match - 3:1, and therefore for the first time since 2018, the Red and Whites will play in the semifinals.

The Swiss team at the 2024 World Cup has already produced its best result in the last six years, but it will be extremely difficult to improve it. The reason is that Patrick Fischer's team will face Canada, which is incredibly stable. The Maple Leafs reached the finals at seven of the last eight World Championships, and therefore are now the favorites for the semifinal clash. Moreover, the Canadians traditionally play poorly in the group stage, and the guests play their best games at this stage, but at the 2024 World Cup it was Andre Turigny's men who won the first face-to-face battle - 3:2.
