In one of the matches of the group stage of the Olympic qualification in curling, the players of the national teams of Russia and Spain will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation?
Russia
The Russian national team is the favorite of the qualification. Our team got into the same group with Australia, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, Spain and Turkey. For sure, the mixed Russian pair will try to do everything to ensure their entry into the next round of the tournament. The next game is against the Spanish team, which is a clear outsider of the confrontation. We brought Sidorova and Timofeev, who are the best skips of the country, to the tournament. With such a team, you can not be afraid of anyone.
Spain
The Spanish team looks like a modest team against the background of our national team, not capable of a miracle. To compete with such grandees of world curling as Sidorova and Timofeev, even with more or less experienced skippers, is simply unrealistic. With a high degree of probability, the Russian team will simply roll the rink over the opponent and will not allow him to come up with anything interesting in the duel. At the last World Cup, the Spaniards were the last, having suffered defeats in all meetings.
Forecast
The Russian national team is able to defeat an opponent with a solid handicap. After all, the Spaniards are considered to be ascribed outsiders of qualification, and are unlikely to rise above 6-7 places.
