Absolutely! This is what makes this match-up so special!
Yep, D/W had the better of the rivalry last year, but since the Olympics it's been V/M, D/W, V/M, D/W at worlds. No guarantees for either team, and it may come down to personal preferences of whoever is on the judging panel.

Can anyone with better eyes than mine make out whether Virtue/Moir are wearing new costumes??
Or are they in their Carmen costumes (Virtue's original Carmen dress)??
FWIW :

Interesting that Radford as a fellow skater had the opportunity to see it at Skate Canada's High Performance Camp.
In contrast, at U.S. Champs Camp, supposedly only the federation officials are permitted to see the programs.
Not news, and not specific to Virtue/Moir, but here are two Skate Canada national team photos from High Performance Camp:

And this one is a kind of cool photo of autographed cards showing individual skaters, couples, or pairs;

BTW: Purich/Tran attended HPC, but are not on the national team and do not appear in these photos.
