Switzerland is preparing to play its 7th and last game of the preliminary round on Tuesday at 11:20 am against Germany. With one point, Patrick Fischer’s players are sure to finish first.
The Helvetians can even lose by two goals if Canada beats France, since in the event of a direct confrontation, Switzerland is today at +3 thanks to its success on Saturday, while the Germans are at -2 following their 5-3 loss to the players at the Maple Leaf.

But rather than grocer’s accounts, Switzerland must continue on the path it has charted so far. Despite some third parties not always successful, the national team assumes for the time being its status as favorite of the group. Better, she knows how to impose her game. Even against Canada.
So against the Germans, we expect territorial domination. But this Germany has some very interesting players like Red Wings defender Moritz Seider or Seattle goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer. Without forgetting the young Lukas Reichel, nephew of the famous Czech striker Robert Reichel, drafted in the first round (17th) by Chicago in 2020, or even Marc Michaelis, his team’s top scorer with his 7 points.
On the other hand, coach Toni Söderholm must compose without his nugget Tim Stützle who was injured and who will no longer play in competition.
If it succeeds in winning, Switzerland would do as well as in Stockholm in 2013. Sean Simpson’s players had even won their first nine matches before losing in the tenth final against Sweden.
