Command Analysis

Canada U20

Current form
The Canadians are the main favorites of the home World Junior Championship, but so far, in their usual manner, they have had a hard time getting into the tournament. At the start, they dealt with Finland with a "dry" score of 4:0, worked well in defense, and had no particular problems with conversions. In the second round, Dave Cameron charges had a less difficult opponent in the face of the Latvian team. It seemed that a complete rout should be expected, given the noticeable difference in class, but in the end, the teams reached a series of shootouts, where for a long time no one managed to score, but the Latvians still converted their throw. Obviously, in that meeting, the Canadians were let down by the conversion, plus the opposing goalie played excellently, reflecting a crazy 55 shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Canadian junior team has no losses in its roster ahead of the match.
Interesting trends for betting
- In three of the last four games, the Canadians have tied in the first period.

Germany U20

Current form
Germany has not scored a single point in two rounds of the group stage and is at the bottom of the standings. At the start, Tobias Abstreiter team scored four goals against the USA, but this did not help to avoid a 4:10 rout. In the second round, they were unable to do anything against Finland (1:3), the only thing they managed to do was avoid a major defeat. So far, the German team is clearly inferior in class to their opponents in the group.
