Sweden has a very powerful squad for the 2025 World Cup. Almost all hockey players play in NHL clubs, and in leading roles. Star-studded teams often struggle with results because the players can't distribute functions, but Tre Kronor haven't had any problems like that yet.
In six games at the group stage of the tournament, the Yellows and Blues beat the Slovaks 5-0, the Austrians 4-2, the Finns 2-1, the Latvians 6-0, the Slovenes 4-0, and then the French 4-0. Obviously, the Swedes have won six games in a row, so they're top of Group A, but they've got a big game coming up.
Canada
After a disappointing 2024 World Cup, Canada also decided to regain the title, so they brought a very strong squad to the 2025 World Cup, featuring the likes of Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and Ryan O'Reilly. From the very first games of the tournament, the Maple Leafs have been playing at a very solid level.
In their opening five games, Dean Evason's charges beat the Slovenes 4-0, the Latvians 7-1, the French 5-0, the Austrians 5-1, and the Slovaks 7-0. The day before, the Canadians suffered their first defeat, losing to the Finns 1-2 in a shootout. Nevertheless, the Reds and Blacks remain in second place in the Group A standings.

Sweden vs Canada Match Prediction 20 May 2025
Sweden and Canada will be going head-to-head to decide who wins Group A. At the moment, the Trekkunurs have two more points, so in the next game they just need to not concede in regulation time. The Yellow-Blues can do this. They've got a really experienced and skilled squad, they'll be playing on home ice, and they've had two days off since their tough game against the Finns.
Sweden and Canada have been playing really solid defence at the 2025 World Cup, so Tre Kronor have only conceded 3 goals in six games (0.50 average per game), while the Maple Leafs have 4 goals over the same distance (0.67 average per game). The Maple Leafs have never faced such skilled opponents before, so the stats are going to change big time after the face-off.
