Team Canada will begin its chase for a gold medal against Team Switzerland in the Women’s Ice Hockey Tournament at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on Saturday, February 7.

My Switzerland vs. Canada predictions expect the Swiss to hang around and cover the number after holding Canada’s scoring in check at each of the past World Championships.

Let’s break down my betting picks for Saturday, February 7.

Switzerland vs Canada prediction

Switzerland vs Canada best bet: Switzerland +5.5 (-115 at BET99)

Team Switzerland scored three times in its tournament-opening 4-3 win over Team Czechia, and I’m anticipating them hanging around and keeping the scoring in check against the Canadians on Saturday.

Additionally, the Swiss have played the Canadians in each of the past four World Championships and lost by exactly four goals in each game.

Even with Team Canada winning their past five Olympic openers by a combined score of 56-2, I expect the Swiss to batten down the defensive hatches after the Canadians had their schedule thrown off following the postponement of their own tournament opener Thursday.

He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
