The US team still hasn't won the World Championship. The last time the 'Stars and Stripes' won gold was in 1960; since then, they have never reached the final. Despite having top-level players during this time, the Americans could not become champions.
For the 2025 World Championship, the US team has assembled a strong roster featuring hockey players such as Zach Werenski, Clayton Keller, Tage Thompson, Matthew Beniers, and Conor Garland. The team is led by Ryan Warsofsky, who managed San Jose last season.
Switzerland
In recent years, the Swiss national ice hockey team has actively invited players who have performed well in North America to compete in the World Championships. Roman Josi was not selected for the 2025 tournament due to health issues. Still, Timo Meier and Nico Hischier joined the national team, and Kevin Fiala is expected to make his tournament debut soon.
The Crusaders played their first two matches at the 2025 World Championship without the Los Angeles star forward, but that did not stop them from achieving a good result. In their match against the Czech Republic, the Red-Whites only lost overtime, with a final score of 4–5. The day before, they had beaten Denmark 5–2.

USA vs Switzerland Match Prediction 12 May 2025
The Swiss national team has a strong track record in the group stage of the World Championships. In the last three World Championships, the Crusaders only lost twice in the group stage. At the 2025 World Championship, the Red-Whites lost 4–5 to the Czechs in the first game, but losing to the current world champions in overtime is not a failure. Patrick Fischer's team should not be left without points in the upcoming meeting, especially as they had a day off the day before. Consequently, it is reasonable to bet that the Swiss national team will not lose in regular time.
The US and Swiss national teams constantly strive to play spectacularly and effectively. At last year's group stage, the Americans scored an impressive 37 goals in seven matches (an average of 5.29 per game), while the Crusaders scored 29 goals in the same period (an average of 4.14 per game). We expect a high-scoring match, so the best forecast is more than 5.5 goals.
Our match prediction: 2X for a coefficient of 1.95 in the bet365 bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: TO 5.5 for a coefficient of 1.95 in the betway bookmaker.
Our final betting tip on the match: Each Team Will Score Over 1.5 for a coefficient of 1.80 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
