As part of the match of the semi-finals of the playoffs of the semi-finals of the qualification for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, the basketball players of the national teams of Italy and the Dominican Republic will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation?
Italy
Due to the fact that the Senegalese national team did not participate in the qualification for the Olympic Games due to the coronavirus raging in the team, Italy received a ticket to the playoffs of the qualifying round without a victory over Puerto Rico, but "Squadra Azzurra" decided to get confused and defeated the opponent with a score of 90:83. The meeting really turned out to be tense, as Puerto Rico constantly kept its opponent in suspense, trying hard to punish him for any mistake in defense.
Dominican Republic
As for the Dominicans, they also held qualification games in the same group with the Philippines and Serbia. The guests could not oppose anything to the Serbian team and lost with a score of 76: 94, but they were able to defeat the Philippines with a score of 94:67. Having taken the second place in her group, Dominikana reached the next round of the competition, where, by the way, nothing good is shining for her.
Statistics and figures:
- Italy is listed as the favorite of the game;
- The Italians won 3 matches out of 5;
- Dominicana suffered 3 defeats in 5 games;
- The rivals have not previously crossed paths in face-to-face matches.
Forecast
Italy will be able to win over the opponent. I predict a confident success of "squadra azzurra" with a handicap of 11.5 points in this confrontation.
