The Latvian national team did brilliantly at the 2023 World Cup, winning bronze medals, but unfortunately Harijs Vitolinsh's team didn't do as well at the 2024 World Cup, missing the playoffs altogether. But in September, they did really well in the qualifiers for the 2026 Olympics, so they were feeling pretty good about the start of the 2025 World Cup.
But the team didn't manage to get all the country's best hockey players to the world championship, which is a shame. But that didn't stop the Latvians from netting a solid win against France in the tournament's first match – 4-1.
Canada
The Canadian national team is the favourite in all the hockey tournaments, but at the 2024 World Cup, the Maple Leafs had their worst result since 2018, coming fourth. But of course, after such a disappointing performance, the Redblacks decided to work on their mistakes and regain the title, so they brought a very strong squad to the 2025 World Cup.
In the first match of the World Cup, Dean Evason's team had a comfortable win over the Slovenians, with a score of 4-0. Dylan Garand saved all 11 shots on goal, and the Maple Leafs' main offensive successes came from the top three players, Bo Horvat, Nathan MacKinnon and Travis Konecny.

Latvia vs Canada Match Prediction 11 May 2025
The Canadian team came to the 2025 World Cup with a very strong squad to bounce back from their disappointing performance at the last World Championship, where the Maple Leafs finished only fourth. Dean Evason's team didn't seem too fazed in the first game, thrashing the Slovenians 4-0, but they could've won by even more if they'd wanted to. The Reds and Blacks are getting better and better at every tournament, so they'll probably do even better in the match against the Latvians.
The Canadian team always plays attacking hockey, even if it means leaving their defence a bit thin. At the 2024 World Cup, the Maple Leafs never got shut out, but they did concede two goals against Great Britain, one against Norway, six (!) against Austria, and even more against some of the other big hitters. At the 2025 World Cup, the Canadians got a shutout in their first game, but it's unlikely they'll play as responsibly again.
