These two just met in the Olympic quarterfinals three months ago. The result? A 3–2 thriller for Czechia. The Czechs have a habit of finding that third goal, even when the Danes play their signature trap defense.
Setting the bar at just 1.5 goals for Team USA is quite low considering their current roster strength. The USA enters this tournament as a heavy-hitter, coming off a Gold Medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics just months ago.
