USA

Team USA is the only one to really take credit for the Four Nations Tournament. Canada seemed to be the favorites going into the tournament, but it was the Americans who had the best results in the group stage, winning two games in regulation time. That means they've got six points and have already secured their place in the final. First, Mike Sullivan's team had no problems at all against Finland, winning 6-1. Then, they had this historic battle with Canada (3-1).

Sweden

The Swedish national team hasn't been doing too well in the Four Nations Tournament so far. In their first game against Canada, they made it to overtime, but they were the underdogs and still managed to get a point (3-4). But before the battle against Finland, the visitors were already the clear favorites, but they were unable to hold on to their lead in regulation time and, incredibly, lost to the Finns in overtime (3-4).So, Sweden has now suffered two defeats in two games.

H2H Meetings

The last time these two teams met was on 10 May 2024, but the lineups were completely different. Back then, Sweden won (5-2).

We reckon the US team will finish the group stage of the Four Nations Tournament with a perfect record.

Sweden hasn't really wowed in the tournament so far, losing twice.The visitors might not be feeling too motivated before this next match, but it's a great chance for the U.S. team to get some practice in before the final. We're tipping the home team for a win.
