Team USA is on track for their first World Cup title in 65 years. A year ago, the Stars and Stripes finished in the quarterfinals, but now they're clearly determined to move on through the playoffs. Ryan Warsofsky's team played really well at the group stage of the 2025 World Cup.
The Americans have only lost one out of seven games, and that was to the Swiss 0-3. In the last six battles, they beat the Danes 5-0, the Hungarians 6-0, the Norwegians 6-5, the Germans 6-3, the Kazakhs 6-1, and the Czechs 5-2. This meant the US team came second in Group B.
Finland
The Finnish national team also finished the 2024 World Cup in the quarter-finals, after which Jukka Jalonen left the post of head coach and Antti Pennanen became the new head coach. He did a great job getting them ready for the 2025 World Cup, even if they weren't at their best right at the start.
In seven matches at the 2025 World Cup, the Blue and Whites only lost once, when they didn't quite manage to deal with the Swedes (1:2). In the other games, Antti Pennanen's team beat Austria 2-1, France 4-3, Slovenia 9-1, Latvia 2-1, Canada 2-1 and Slovakia 2-1. The Finns finished third in Group A with 16 points.

USA vs Finland Match Prediction 22 May 2025
Teams from the USA and Finland had a similar group stage at the World Cup 2025. Both teams won six games and lost one, with the Americans getting 17 points and the Finns 16. So, it's clear we're in for a real showdown. If it had happened in the semifinals of the tournament, the US would have been the clear favourites, as the Stars and Stripes haven't reached the finals at the World Championships in 65 years, but they're not embarrassed by the quarter-finals. Ryan Warsofsky has a squad that's more skilled and experienced, so they should be closer to success.
The Finnish team at the 2025 World Cup is playing classic defensive hockey. So, apart from the game against Slovenia, where the Finns scored nine goals to one, there were only 20 shots on goal in the other six matches (an average of 3.33 per game). That's pretty low by hockey standards, but it's a story we've heard before from the Finns. In the playoffs, they'll be even deeper on defense.
